The establishment of a bylaw governing vehicles on Bay of Plenty beaches will be on the agenda when local mayors and Environment Bay of Plenty chairman John Cronin meet next month.
Mr Cronin said together with local councils he hoped a bylaw would be established in the hope the threat of
prosecution and fines would act as a deterrent to those driving unsafely on Bay beaches.
"We have tried to educate people ... however, if drivers do not step up then we are prepared to ... take a tougher approach to vehicles on beaches," he said.
The announcement follows a plea to conservationists from Auckland Regional Council to drum up support for a ban on vehicles on west coast beaches from Muriwai to to the mouth of the Kaipara Harbour.
The issue came to the fore in January when Tauranga teenager Daisy Fernandez was killed when a motorcycle hit her and friend Claudia Billinge as the 13-year-olds sat chatting on a Northland beach.
