​About Pahurehure Inlet SAP

The Policy and Planning Committee approved the Pahurehure Inlet SAP on 10 October 2024.

This SAP area follows about 113km of shoreline within the semi-enclosed inlet between Karaka Point in the south and Te Pua Point in the north. It includes the shoreline of Kōpuahingahinga and Pararēkau Islands and follows the eastern shoreline of Puhinui Creek from Weymouth to the upper inlet in Clendon.

It has a diverse shoreline environment and several estuaries, including catchments in:

• Hays Stream
• Hingaia Stream
• Ngakoroa Stream
• Whangapouri Creek
