(ii) If any land use activity (such as earthworks, fencing or the erection or removal of structures) is likely to damage, modify or destroy any pre-1900 archaeological site (whether recorded or unrecorded), an ‘authority’ consent from Heritage New Zealand must be obtained for the work to lawfully proceed. This applies to all sites, regardless of whether Building or Resource Consents have been granted or not. Heritage New Zealand should be contacted for further information on this requirement.’ The historic heritage provisions therefore relate to those places on the Schedule of Historic Heritage Inventory, with archaeological sites being managed though the Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga Act 2014.

(ii) Minimise the effects of activities, subdivision and development which could damage or destroy the historic heritage values associated with scheduled historic items. (iii) Ensure the heritage and amenity values of the built heritage resource are not adversely affected by a change in context or physical location. (iv) Encourage the design of new buildings and structures and external alterations or additions to building facades to be compatible with the scale, detailing, style, materials and heritage character of the Waihi and Paeroa Town Centre pedestrian frontage areas. Note: The rules and guidelines are set out in section 5.11 Town Centre Zone.
