The Council has reviewed Part 14: Ports and Wharves of the Consolidated Bylaw 2008 and wishes to revoke it and replace it with the Draft Ports and Wharves Bylaw 2018.

This bylaw enables Council to regulate and control the use of  all port structures owned by the Council, generally within the Whakatāne Port Zone, the Rangitaiki River mouth and Ōhiwa Harbour.  The bylaw also enables Council to manage all health and safety concerns related to these structures. While much of the existing bylaw is fit for purpose, other sections are outdated or not aligned with current practice.

The Council seeks your views on the Draft Ports and Wharves Bylaw 2018 - a revised and updated version of the existing bylaw.
