Marine and Coastal Area consultation continues

The Marine and Coastal Area Bill is currently going through its third consultation stage. Throughout November and December the Māori Affairs Select Committee is hearing public submissions around the country.

The Marine and Coastal Area Bill guarantees the rights of all New Zealanders in the common marine and coastal area including free public access. It restores access to justice through the Courts and long established common law property rights, which are both core National Party principles.

The select committee includes members from almost all political parties, and submissions are being heard from a wide variety of groups.
