Our role
We are responsible for a variety of roles when it comes to caring for Northland's coast. This includes preparing the Regional Coastal Plan (which dictates how we use our marine environment), monitoring the coastal environment, maritime safety, oil spill response and supporting community restoration projects through the Coastcare programme.
Planning
Our planning team prepares plans for the coast to ensure it is sustainably developed and protected. These plans provide rules and guidelines for anyone wanting to carry out development projects.
