Foreshore and Seabed
2 Main Elements of the Foreshore and Seabed Act
The Foreshore and Seabed Act provides for Crown ownership of the public foreshore and seabed, on behalf of all New Zealanders. There are four key aspects of the legislation. These are Crown ownership; public access and navigation; customary rights; and other key areas like the foreshore and seabed register and a process for redress for vesting of local authority land.
