The combination of the Resource Management Act 1991; Council Planning Rules; Department of Conservation requirements with regard to Foreshore Reserves; wealthy landowners whom would like to enhance their quiet enjoyment of their holiday locations; and (potentially) disgruntled or jealous neighbours are delightfully highlighted in this report. Stuff - 18-July-2018
Is there any room for a better compromise here?

I'm not sure why Mr Doig is so surprised that he isn't being allowed to quietly convert a boathouse within a reserve into a bach. Would he be able to establish a bach in any other reserve abutting his property? Seems like the system is working fine in this instance.
Mr Hall's case ostensibly seems less reasonable, although I'm not sure that writing it off as jealousy is a winning strategy.

Good riddance. He should have had to pay 100% of the Council's cost, but I guess there is some public benefit in the Council drawing a clear line in the sand (as it were).
