Rule 8.2 in the plan has been retained. It requires a resource consent as a Discretionary Activity for which discretion is restricted, for the placement of a new swing mooring in a designated Swing Mooring Area. Similarly retained, is Rule 8.5 which requires a resource consent as a Non-complying Activity for the placement of a new swing mooring outside a designated Swing Mooring Area.
The new permitted activity provisions that are proposed will avoid the need for owners of existing swing moorings and other lawfully established structures to obtain resource consents to occupy the coastal marine area.
