Towns
- The four centres will grow, within limits, with efforts made to retain character.
- Other centres will experience minimal development.
Economy
- Areas in the four centres set aside for industrial and commercial activities; one or two centres with at least one large hotel.
- Thames will service the Coromandel aquaculture industry.
Landscape
- Controlled development may be possible in outstanding landscapes, possibly making it easier to get consent for papakainga housing on Maori land.
- New activities/structures limited in undeveloped coastal waters.
Community Facilities
- Future investment in sport, transport and health facilities, schools and reserves focused on four centres.
- Wharves, boat ramps and marinas in four centres to cater for more boats.

Imagine. Our future if development focuses on Thames, Whitianga, Whangamata and Tairua, making more use of existing infrastructure and facilities.
