\" [33] The VEZ mapping is supported by expert ecological reports undertaken by Mr Vince Kerr commissioned by the Council7 and a report by Boffa Miskell in relation to Puheke Beach.8 The mapping is based on areas where significant values are at risk of harm by vehicle use, including:<\/SPAN><\/P>

(a) SEAs, which include:<\/SPAN><\/P>

(i) Indigenous taxa that are listed as threatened or at risk in the New Zealand Threat Classification System;<\/SPAN><\/P>

(ii) areas of indigenous vegetation and habitats of indigenous fauna, that are significant using the assessment criteria in Appendix 5 of the Regional Policy Statement for Northland; and<\/SPAN><\/P>

(iii) areas set aside for full or partial protection of indigenous biodiversity under other legislation;<\/SPAN><\/P>

(b) Outside of SEAs, areas include:<\/SPAN><\/P>

(i) significant habitats of indigenous biodiversity under Policy 11 of the NZCPS;<\/SPAN><\/P>

(ii) threatened and at risk indigenous bird species that regularly use coastal areas or are in high numbers; and<\/SPAN><\/P>

(iii) important shellfish beds.<\/SPAN><\/P>

[34] The map layer applies to the strip from mean high-water springs to generally around 50 metres seaward of mean high-water springs. The management of the full beach area, including dunes and adjoining areas, requires broader inter-agency management, including operational management (e.g., signage). The Council is willing to work with other regulators in that space to achieve integrated management and ensure that the full beach area is managed effectively.<\/SPAN><\/P>
