The High Court maps showing the areas of the coastline that have been claimed under the Marine and Coastal Area Act can be seen below – click on the image twice to view the highly magnified version.
*Please note that the red numbers on the maps relate to the District Council Area – the full list is posted below the maps.
A Google map of New Zealand to help you identify the physical location of the claims is HERE – it can be expanded to display more landmark details.
The claim numbers on the maps can be cross referenced to claim applications through our High Court spreadsheet HERE. Once you know the case (CIV) number of the case you are interested in, the updated detail can be found on the Court of NZ website HERE.
Updates on developments are available through our free NZCPR Weekly newsletter – anyone is more than welcome to register for the mailing list HERE
We have now launched a fundraiser to help those fishing and recreation groups who are opposing ALL claims in the public interest to cover the tens of thousands of dollars they will incur fighting this resource grab – please help those who will be standing up for you in Court by clicking HERE.
