Catchment and coastal management are rapidly developing fields in which reactive and

visionary responses constantly overtake each other. In order to assess the current

situation with respect to catchment and coastal management in the Auckland region in

light of international best practice, this report reviews the key developmental phases in

New Zealand including the legislative and other arrangements in the Auckland region.

The report’s objective is to identify best practice integrated coastal and catchment

management planning in order to inform the discussion on best practice implementation

for the Auckland region and its freshwater and saline receiving environments.
