This Code of Practice is necessary to provide controls, to ensure that the infrastructure created is and will remain fit for the intended use for the foreseeable future. People with an interest in a piece of land have different views on the acceptability of a development. Standards are necessary to ensure that a balance is achieved to reconcile the different needs of people. Controls help protect the environment and those with an interest in a development from failures resulting from natural hazards and inadequate design and construction. These standards are minimum requirements.
Developers can contribute to creating a more interesting environment by use of variations above the minimum requirements.
This document was reviewed and updated to suit the diverse communities of the Coromandel Peninsula. It was peer reviewed by a working party made up of professional engineering consultants, surveyors, contractors and developers.
