Hawkes Bay Pilotage Limit - Hawkes Bay Regional Council

The HBRC, as a Harbour Authority under the Local Government Act 1974, is responsible for navigation safety inside the Pilotage Limits. This area is shown on the planning maps in Volume 2 of the RCEP. These functions are carried out by the Harbour Master under the HBRC Navigation and Safety Bylaws. This is recognised in Guideline 1. Outside the pilotage limits, surface water activities are controlled by Maritime Rule Part 91 Navigation Safety. Those regulations refer to the speed of small craft, water skiing, access lanes, surfboards, mooring areas and reserved areas for other activities.
