Kaiteriteri Plans 2009-2029

This page contains plans and projects for the Kaiteriteri Settlement outlined in Council's Long Term and Annual Plans.

The Draft Long Term Plan 2012-2022 is currently being considered. Updated information will be posted following its adoption in June.

Important Note About the Draft Annual Plan 2011/2012

The Tasman District Council Draft Annual Plan 2011/2012 was adopted by the Council on 10 March 2011. This contains proposed changes from the 2009-2019 Ten Year Plan and the final list of projects will be confirmed by the end of June 2011following consultation with the public.

Kaiteriteri Settlement Profile

The natural attractions of the Kaiteriteri area are its climate, golden sandy beaches, sea views, clear waters, rocky and bushed headlands and pockets of bush, wetlands and estuary. The conservation of these features and access to them is important through the provision of well located reserves and linking walkways. The Kaiteriteri area has a history of Māori settlement, with defended pa sites at Kaka Point, Anawhakau and Pa Point. There are also wāhi tapu sites.

Kaiteriteri attracts high visitor number during the summer months. The beach front area was redesigned during 2001/02 to cater for this. Parking and visitor facilities were improved while the overall amenity of the beachfront was retained.

Because of Kaiteriteri’s scenic quality, limited areas of the beaches and safety considerations, water-related structures such as boat ramps and jetties are located away from the centre of the beach areas. A co-ordinated approach on these matters was pursued by Council with the Kaiteriteri Recreation Reserve Board and the Department of Conservation.

Much of the land at Kaiteriteri is highly erodible, weathered Separation Point Granite. This requires particular care when developments are undertaken. Also, further residential development in the settlement will require upgrading of the wastewater and roading networks.

Kaiteriteri Population Growth

Estimates from Statistics New Zealand project the Kaiteriteri population growing from 415 in 2006 to 431 in 2031. This represents an annual average growth rate of 0.15%

Kaiteriteri Settlement Area and Engineering Maps

The following PDF maps show the settlement area and planned engineering maps in relation to the 2009-2019 Ten Year Plan.

Kaiteriteri Zoning

Future residential demand is expected to be satisfied through the development of land already zoned residential located within the existing settlement boundaries to the south of the main beach. Refer to the Kaiteriteri Settlement Area Map

The land currently zoned for commercial and tourist business purposes is considered sufficient for future requirements.
