Towns
- Eight serviced centres – Whangamata, Pauanui, Tairua, Cooks Beach, Whitianga, Matarangi, Coromandel and Thames – which will spread out.
- Other centres will still grow, but will have limited council services like water, sewage and rubbish disposal, and more private schemes.
- Papakinga (community) housing allowed as a controlled activity, but because much Maori land is coastal, the form of the development will be restricted.
Economy
- Limited industrial growth.
Landscape
- More lifestyle blocks in rural and coastal areas.
Community Facilities
- The eight centres will have community facilities, with pressure for each to fund substantial complexes.
- More boats will put pressure on berths, moorings and boat ramps.

Imagine. Our future if today’s population, development and environmental trends and policies continue in a ‘business as usual’ style.
