A significant proportion of both the sea and terrestrial environments – and their inhabitants – are protected by legislation. The sea environment(external link) There is a biological maturity in this region and the hills of the homeland of various local flora and fauna houses in the local forests.
The legislation, which made it possible to restore and restore the area, included the recovery of Hurunui/Kaikōura -Erdbieben (coastal route and other affairs) in Council 2016 (OIC), which changed environmental legislation (including the resource management law 1991) in order to issue the necessary systems efficiently and quickly.
The arrangement in the Council included conditions, so that the project benefited from the following:
- Stakeholder and community instructions through the restoration Liaison Group(external link)
- A building plan for construction (Cemp)
- An erosion and sediment control plan
- Ecological scoping surveys
- superordinate ecological principles
- An IWI consultant who is supported by cultural monitors
- A landscape design framework (LDF).
According to this legislation, the team for environmental planning and approval has received numerous permits, including resource acceptance and other permits such as those that relate to the administration of New Zealand fur seals.
Due to the rapid nature of the first stage of the project, the team played an active role in monitoring and managing the implementation of these permits. This included cooperation with the municipality's stakeholders and the regulatory stakeholders and a variety of environmental specialists. Therefore, the project achieved the results of the NZ Transport Agency, Kiwirail and the wider community. The team is still obliged to create a positive legacy for the communities for which we work.
