a Port Activity Management Area for the purposes of enabling the efficient and practical
operation*
of Wanganui Port and associated industries and boating facilities, as shown in
Schedule I
: Part B, by providing for activities which:

operation*
of the Wanganui Port and marina, including restricting public access where it is necessary for safety reasons
involve maintenance dredging and associated disposal to maintain a navigational depth
involve the
maintenance*
,
upgrade*
or extension of existing
structures^
.
various Protection Activity Management Areas for the purposes of protecting the ecological and other important characteristics within each specified Area (as shown in Table I.1 of
Schedule I
: Part B). These Areas are sensitive and must be protected from adverse
effects^
of activities other than activities which:
appropriately enable or restrict public access, or
are essential for public safety, or
are intended to restore or conserve a
site*
or characteristics within a
site
*, or
have no more than minor adverse environmental
effects^
on the characteristics to be protected in each Protection Activity Management Area.
a General Activity Management Area for the purposes of managing activities in all areas other than areas covered by the Port Activity Management Area and Protection Activity Management Areas. The purpose of the General Activity Management Area is to ensure that adverse
effects^
are avoided as far as reasonably practicable and, where they cannot be avoided, are remedied or mitigated.
Policy 8-3

Aquaculture activities^
in the CMA require the establishment of an aquaculture management area by way of a notified
change^
to
Chapter 18
of this Plan.
Policy 8-4
: Appropriate use and development
Any use or development in the CMA must:
have a functional necessity to be located in the CMA,
facilitate restoration or rehabilitation of natural features where reasonably practicable, and
avoid, as far as reasonably practicable, any adverse effects^ on the following important values:
any characteristic listed in Table I.1 in
Schedule I
: Part B for each Protection Activity Management Area
elements and processes that contribute to the natural character and open space characteristics of the CMA
the landscape and seascape elements that contribute to the natural character of the CMA
areas of significant indigenous vegetation and significant habitats of indigenous fauna, and the maintenance of indigenous
biological diversity^
the intrinsic values of ecosystems
the natural integrity and functioning of physical processes (including recognition of
sea level rise*
)
historic heritage^.
When avoidance is not reasonably practicable, the adverse
effects^
must be remedied or mitigated.
Policy 8-5
: Public access
Activities in the CMA must be established and operated in a manner which readily provides for public access. Public access must be restricted only where necessary for commercial, safety, cultural or conservation purposes, or to ensure a level of security appropriate for activities authorised by a
resource consent^.
Public access in the CMA for recreational purposes must be provided in a manner that protects bird habitat areas, estuarine plant communities and dune stability.
