Coastal Action Zone Development Team
The CAZ seeks to promote new public service delivery methods in
order to improve the quality of life for coastal people.
Many initiatives - yet impact often declines when funding expires.
The Coastal Action Zone is a process, not a project.
The CAZ will nor duplicate existing activity.

The distinctive features of the CAZ concept are:
A high national profile backed by a distinctive style
An intention to move to integrated service delivery
A broad initiative covering all quality of life issues
A broad based and committed partnership
Experiences of Service Providers on the Coast
lingering negative impact of poverty on public services
lack of aspirations by individuals, families and businesses
impact of recruitment upon service provision
negative outcomes of poor access to services and facilities
overburden of aging population on health/care services
entrenched problems require cooperation among providers
From the interviews four main issues emerged that are pertinent to all service providers.
Low Aspirations….in education, business, skills development, health, law and order..
Access…or rather the lack of physical access to services
Recruitment….of professionals and skills to improve the delivery of
public services
Demography….importing elderly and unhealthy, exporting youth and vitality
