•
Amend the criteria to split culture and environmental character, as they are significantly different and both need protecting
•
Ensure that resilience and future-proofing is incorporated into the construction of roads and paths, given the risks for Waiheke from climate change and associated sea level rise
•
Set up processes for protection of uncovered artefacts / koiwi, which involves the community
•
Provide for recognition of the wāhi tapu on the Matiatia waterfront
•
Incorporate cultural heritage into projects, no matter the size, and Māori culture into signage
•
Mitigating stormwater run-off effects should be a high priority and coordination between AT and Healthy Waters (and other agencies as appropriate) should occur as normal practice
•
Improve pathways to provide connections, as long as they are serving a purpose which supports community needs
•
Take accident locations into consideration as key areas needing action
•
Ensure that the island’s unique road designs are maintained, while increasing safety for more vulnerable users, such as children. This should include perceptions of safety.
