You need to know that the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park Act 2000 creates a New Zealand coastal policy statement for the Hauraki Gulf. This statement is made up of sections 7 and 8 of this Act. You can find more information about the Resource Management Act 1991 at https://legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1986/0120/latest/link.aspx?id=DLM230264. If there is a conflict between sections 7 and 8 and another New Zealand coastal policy statement, the other statement is more important. The Resource Management Act 1991 has rules about how to deal with these statements. You can find these rules in section 55 of the Resource Management Act 1991 at https://legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1986/0120/latest/link.aspx?id=DLM233372. Regional councils and territorial authorities must follow these rules and make changes to their plans within 5 years of this Act starting. They have to notify these changes. This is all part of managing the coastal environment of the Hauraki Gulf.
