Aims and rules

 

Pauatahanui Inlet has been identified by Greater Wellington Regional Council as an outstanding landscape based on its characteristics and values. In Greater Wellington's Regional Coastal Plan the Inlet is specified as an area of significant conservation value.

 

Everything the Guardians of Pauatahanui Inlet do is designed to promote and protect the ecological, recreational and cultural values of the Inlet and its catchment area. The formal objects of the society can be represented as follows.


The Guardians of Pauatahanui Inlet:

  • support the implementation of the Pauatahanui Inlet Action Plan by the management agencies and support the Pautahanui Inlet Community Trust in its role to ensure the Plan is actioned

  • inform and educate the public about the Inlet, consult with the communities around the Inlet and provide opportunities for the public to share in celebrating and caring for the Inlet

  • prepare submissions on plans, proposals, and resource management applications affecting the Inlet and its catchment

  • promote research and monitoring on the state of the Inlet and undertake some monitoring directly.

 

 

GOPI shares its concern for the Inlet with the Pauatahanui Inlet Community Trust (PICT). However, there are important differences between the two groups. GOPI is a community group providing, among our other activities, information and hands-on care of the Inlet. PICT is a charitable trust, set up in May 2002 with up to 14 appointed members from a wide balance of interests. PICT's aim is to promote and help implement the Inlet Action Plan, which was prepared to better manage the inlet in all areas (e.g. harbour activities, catchment and roading).
