The Year 7 and 8 class at Manaia Primary spent
an hour sorting a week’s waste at the school in
March. Following the audit, the results were
analysed and an ‘action plan’ to reduce waste
was developed
explains, in brief, how to find out whether or not an activity is
regulated by the plan, and if so, the steps to be taken in applying for a coastal permit.
Step One: Find out where the activity is located. Section 4.2 of the plan contains planning maps
which divide the coastal marine area into four types of management areas. Use the
maps to find out which type of area the activity falls in.
Step Two: Break the activity down into parts. Does the activity involve:
