Abstract

The Hastings district landscape assessment represents an example of a cultural approach to landscape assessment. The study definitions, method and outcomes emphasise the social and cultural basis of landscape values. The study is also notable for the way in which popular representations of landscape (eg postcards) are used to highlight the iconic quality of particular landscape features and settings. The study focuses on two aspects of district plan preparation under the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA91): the protection of outstanding natural features and landscapes from inappropriate subdivision, use and development under s 6(b), and the protection and enhancement of amenity values under s 7. The study identifies potential adverse effects on landscape features considered to be outstanding or of special character, and concludes with a discussion of generic landscape management issues for the district.
