Marlborough Sounds Resource Management Plan 20 A ugust 2015 residues from vessel maintenance. Provision in all marinas should also be made to adequately and conveniently collect sewage from boats. However, it should be noted that while consideration of these activities is needed under the Plan, the Marine Pollution Regulations 1998 introduced pursuant to sections 15A, 15B and 15C of the Act control discharges and dumping from ships. The Council is responsible for administering and enforcing those regulations. Objective 3 Enable the sustainable development and operation of marinas and associated infrastructure within the Marina Zone. Policy 3.1 Avoid the proliferation of marina development within the coastal marine area by focusing such development within the Marina Zone. Policy 3.2 Enable the construction, maintenance and operation of marina activities within Marina Zones, whilst ensuring any adverse effects on the environment are avoided, remedied or mitigated. In considering effects, particular regard will be given to any adverse effects on areas regularly used for the gathering of kaimoana and sites of cultural significance. Policy 3.3 Ensure marinas incorporate and retain public access to the foreshore, coastal environment and coastal marine areas where such access does not interfere with the safe and efficient operation of the marina. Policy 3.4 Avoid locating swing moorings in the Marina Zone unless the moorings have ben specifically identified in Appendix J, Schedule 4.1. Policy 3.5 Where a new consent is sought for a swing mooring specifically identified in Appendix J, Schedule 4.1, decision makers need to have regard to: a) Where the swing mooring is to be located within that part of the Marina Zone specifically identified in Appendix J, Schedule 4 and the availability of space within that area; b) The type and specification of the swing mooring including the swing arc; c) Whether there is space available within the Mooring Management Areas in Waikawa Bay that could accommodate the Appendix J, Schedule 4.1 swing moorings; d) Whether a new consent would unduly hinder the development of a marina in that part of the Marina Zone specifically identified in Appendix J, Schedule 4; and e) The need for conditions to limit the duration of consent to enable marina development to proceed. The development of marina facilities should be managed in a way that avoids significant adverse effects on the urban environment, and on the quality of the coastal environment , such as restricted use of public space and 10 - 34
