Ngā mahere whakahaere i ngā pāka ā-rohe Local park management plans

Help us make good decisions about how parks are used and protected.

We are creating a local park management plan for each local board area of Auckland.

These local park management plans will:

• help the local board make good decisions about how local parks are used and protected
• address what needs to be considered when developing and enhancing our parks through community and mana whenua engagement
• reflect the local community’s needs and aspirations for local parks.

Eventually, all of Auckland's 21 local boards will have a local park management plan.

To develop the plans, we will be using the statutory consultation process under the Reserves Act 1977.

We need your help to understand how you use parks and to identify any issues.

You will be able to have your say on what you want to see in the parks in a local board area.

There will be two consultations on each local park management plan:

• before we create the draft local park management plan, and
• once the draft management plan is created.

These are the local park management plans which are currently in progress. We will update this page as more are developed, so you can track the status of your local park management plan.

These local boards want to create a management plan for local parks in their area. This phase involves collecting relevant information about the parks and open spaces that will be included in the plan.

• Waitākere Ranges Local Park Management Plan
• Albert-Eden Local Park Management Plan
• Manurewa Local Park Management Plan
• Henderson-Massey Local Park Management Plan.

The local board has approved notifying the public of its intention to prepare a draft management plan.

The public are now invited to submit their ideas to help draft the plan.

Submissions will be reviewed once the public notification period ends and a report will be presented to the local board.

Submissions on the plan are now open for a two-month period as required by the Reserves Act 1977. If you want to speak to your submission at a hearing, let us know.

• No plans are currently at this phase of the process.

Public consultation on the draft plan has closed and submissions are now being reviewed. A report will be presented to the hearings panel which summarises the written submissions received.

• No plans are currently at this phase of the process.

A hearing, to be run by an independent hearings panel, has been scheduled.

If you indicate an intention to speak to your submission at the hearing before the required date, you can present to the panel.

The hearings panel is now meeting to discuss written and oral submissions. It will prepare a report for the local board with recommendations on amendments to the final plan.
