No escaping work on significant natural areas, West Coast councils warned

It also postponed any further work on SNAs until the Government finalises its national policy statement on indigenous biodiversity, which will set the SNA rules in concrete. But the planning team charged with writing the new district plan says there is no guarantee the national policy statement will be out before the new draft plan is due to go out for public consultation. “It is absolutely critical to have some rules in there . it would be unfair to landholders and the community if there is no indication of the provisions we will have,” principal planner Lois Easton said. It was not known how different the final version of the national policy statement might be from the draft, but Government officials had ruled out any “carve out” or exceptions for the West Coast.

SNAs issue must be tackled head on, councils, iwi told

Photo: 123RF Members of the Te Tai o Poutini plan committee agonised over the issue for more than an hour at their meeting on Monday, trying to find ways to avoid slapping the significant natural area label on private land. A majority of the committee sees the process as an attack on private property rights. Last month the committee refused, by a narrow majority, to accept a desktop study it had commissioned, mapping SNAs across the region. It also postponed any further work on SNAs until the government finalises its national policy statement on indigenous biodiversity which will set the SNA rules in concrete.

West Coast councils at odds over new rules for Airbnbs

The formal feedback on the issue had come mostly from Airbnb owners – 49 of the 56 submitters were owners of short-term visitor accommodation. The small number of others who provided feedback were all worried about Airbnbs taking residential dwellings out of the owner-occupier and longer-term rental market. Since October 2020 the number of Airbnbs on the West Coast has dropped by 30 per cent (240 properties) and current occupancy rates were less than 50 per cent, the planners reported. “Whether these 240 properties have returned to other housing markets, or just been withdrawn from Airbnb listings is not known but is likely related to the decline in tourism in parts of the West Coast,” they said.

Westport needs flood protection scheme, regional council chair says

“There was some support for the programme in 2017, but it was pretty lukewarm, and we like to have a decent majority in favour before we start rating, so it didn t go ahead.” The council had been able to set up a rating district in Westport last year, after getting enough ratepayer support for a new flood-warning telemetry system, which was a relatively minor project, he said. “They might have to revisit that after what s happened, and look at some floodwall type work, although protecting Westport won t be as straightforward as Greymouth, because it’s bordered by two rivers and the sea.”
