VISION AND OBJECTIVES OF PROTECT PIHA HERITAGE SOCIETY
2. VISION
The Society will be a charitable body which will promote guardianship of the character, heritage and traditions of Piha as an iconic West Coast black-sand surf beach and self-reliant coastal village enclosed by dramatic landforms and forested ranges, which offers respite and the ability to be ˜one with nature’ to locals and visitors. The Society will strive to ensure that development does not lead to urbanisation and commercialisation that may undermine the natural, cultural and historic values of the Piha area, resulting in the loss of the experience of being located on the wild edge of the great Tasman Sea.
