7 Foreshore and/or Seabed Disturbances
7.4 Reclamation of the Foreshore or Seabed
7.4.3 Policy - Esplanade Reserves
Where practicable, require new reclamations to provide an esplanade reserve along the waterfront boundary.
Principal Reasons for Adopting: Enhancement of public access to and along the CMA is a matter of national importance. Provision for the creation of esplanade reserves is required by the Policy 3.5.3 of the NZCPS. However in some instances the necessity to minimise the size of the reclamation may mean that it is not practicable or appropriate to require an esplanade reserve. Refer to Policy 7.4.1 of this chapter.
