S135/074 Wellington Water Limited Policy P42: Protecting and restoring ecosystems and habitats with significant indigenous biodiversity values

Amend Provide definition or guidance on what comprises "Significant adverse effects". Suggest rephrasing (d) to something like "offsetting of any significant residual adverse effects may be considered as part of mitigation in accordance with schedule G for the coastal marine area". Identify the objective and policy framework for applying "no net loss" via schedule G. Remove biodiversity offsets for regionally significant infrastructure. Provide an exclusion (or to like effect) for the operation, maintenance and upgrade of existing three waters regionally significant infrastructure.
