Any subdivision, earthworks, building development, housing, or other structures on the development land must require a resource consent under the Resource Management Act 1991 as a discretionary or non-complying activity.
(2)
Any resource consent under subsection (1) must be publicly notified in accordance with section 95A(2)(a) of the Resource Management Act 1991 as being likely to have adverse effects on the environment that are more than minor.
(3)
Any subdivision, building, housing, or similar development on the development land must protect the habitat of tūturiwhatu/Northern New Zealand dotterel, shore plover, variable oystercatcher, South Island pied oystercatcher, bar-tailed godwit, and other wading and shore birds, and avoid any adverse effects (including from predators) on them or their habitat.
