Panorama of the boat sheds and moorings at Wellington Harbour

The waters of our region extend from the south coast of Wellington, to Otaki River on the west coast, and across to the Mataikona River north of Castlepoint on the east coast.

To look after our coasts and harbours we regulate activities and resources through the  Regional Coastal Plan (PDF 628 KB) .
