Hawkes Bay Historic Heritage Feature - Hawkes Bay Regional Council

Some of the region’s historic heritage features are located in the coastal marine area or straddle the mean high water springs mark. Such sites can become under threat of being compromised or lost through increasing pressure for use and development in the coastal marine area. Effects of activities on historic heritage resources above mean high water springs are controlled by city and district councils through district plans, and also the New Zealand Historic Places Trust under the Historic Places Act 1993.
