The evaluation with respect to Section 7.5.1.3 of the RPS is relevant to this evaluation insofar as it relates to maintenance and enhancement of the life supporting capacity of ecosystems and the representativeness of indigenous biodiversity. With respect to the remaining outcomes: 162 Objective 2, Section 5.2 of the Hauraki District Plan. 163 Objective 3, Section 5.2 of the Hauraki District Plan. 164 Objective 1, Section 6.2 of the Hauraki District Plan. 165 Objective 2, Section 6.2 of the Hauraki District Plan. 166 Objective 3, Section 6.2 of the Hauraki District Plan.
