Papamoa Beach bylaw review 2018

DECISION: APPROVED

Introduction

In May 2018 the Tauranga City Council (TCC) proposed new bylaws to apply to users of Papamoa Beach, Bay of Plenty.

TCC issued two documents, a Statement of Proposal and Draft Beach Bylaws. The bylaws sought to clarify beach usage, addressed fishing and vehicles on beaches. 

The New Zealand Sport Fishing Council has four clubs representing over 5000 affiliated members who have regular access to Papamoa beach. A written submission was made to the Tauranga City Council in June and an oral submission was made at a hearing in July 2018.
