Summary
The New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement (NZCPS) is the only national policy statement that is mandatory under the Resource Management Act 1991. The first NZCPS was gazetted in May 1994, and includes a policy requiring that it be reviewed within nine years by persons independent of the Minister of Conservation.
As part of the independent review of the NZCPS undertaken in 2003 by Dr Jo Rosier, this review by Mike Jacobson was commissioned to focus on the particular role of the NZCPS in promoting sustainable management of natural hazards in the coastal environment.
The purpose of the review is to report on the effectiveness of the NZCPS to the Minister of Conservation, who is then to consider the desirability of reviewing, changing or revoking the NZCPS.
