Governors Bay foreshore provides the case study for analysing discourses competing for influence in landscape management. Study of the conflict and negotiation between them gives an enhanced understanding of the meanings attributed by New Zealanders to their landscapes, and a better understanding of the issues that arise from community involvement in management of landscape values and amenity values....
