White sand beaches, headlands between beaches, Pohutukawa fringed coasts, good quality native bush and rivers are seen as the most valuable landscapes on the Coromandel Peninsula according to a survey of residents. A separate assessment by a landscape architect has confirmed landscapes of special value on the Coromandel.
The professional assessment and community survey are part of a four strand landscape assessment being undertaken by Thames-Coromandel District Council. Consultation with, Iwi and potentially affected landowners will be initiated shortly.

PLEASE NOTE:
The Coromandel Peninsula Landscape Assessment is currently unavaliable.
Council has commissioned a peer review of the Assessment and the supporting maps. The final report is expected to be avalaible early in 2008.
Please note that Council will need to decide how it will undertake the public release of the document and the public consultation process in respect of it.
