Mahere Whakahaere Papa Tāpui Reserve management plans
Why we are creating reserve management plans
We only create a reserve management plan for an individual reserve if it has complex issues or opportunities.
Reserve management plans will:
- help the local board make good decisions about how local reserves are used, enjoyed and protected
- address what needs to be considered when developing and enhancing our reserves through community and mana whenua Hapū and iwi with ancestral relationships to certain areas in Tāmaki Makaurau where they exercise customary authority. engagement
- provide a policy framework to guide decision-making over the next 10 years.
How we are creating the plans
To develop the plans, we will be using the statutory consultation process for developing reserve management plans under the Reserves Act 1977.
