Key issues to consider

• Have areas of significant indigenous vegetation and significant habitats of indigenous fauna been adequately identified in the relevant regional and district plans?

• Have the potential adverse impacts of development been identified and fully assessed?

• What mechanisms are provided to protect these areas?

• Are provisions strong enough to prevent development which will adversely impact on significant indigenous vegetation and fauna?

• Where provisions are weak, what more appropriate mechanisms could be adopted?
