This order replaces the Fisheries (Akaroa Harbour Taiapure) Order 2006 under which the Akaroa Harbour taiapure was previously constituted. The order comes into force on 20 December 2015. The order expands the area of the Akaroa Harbour taiapure local fishery to include the area between Elephant Head and Manukatahi Stream, known as the Dan Rogers area. The inclusion of this area in the taiapure is consistent with the recommendation of a Māori Land Court tribunal. The order also adjusts some of the boundaries of the taiapure to align with adjoining reserves and to correct the co-ordinates. 2015/271 Fisheries (Akaroa Harbour Taiapure) Order 2015 Explanatory note 3 http://prd-lgnz-nlb.prd.pco.net.nz/pdflink.aspx?id=DLM368726 Regulatory impact statement The Ministry for Primary Industries produced a regulatory impact statement on 26 August 2015 to help inform the decisions taken by the Government relating to the contents of this instrument.
