Council seeks input on Reserve Management Plan

Council is reviewing the district's Reserve Management Plan.

The reserves include sportsfields, parks, Council managed natural areas and some Ōpōtiki District Council land such as the area encompassing Council's administration building.

The plans are administered under the Reserves Act 1977 and aim to ensure that reserves provide the opportunity for use and enjoyment as well being appropriately maintained, protected and preserved.

Council is seeking your input to ensure that your ideas contribute to the future management of the reserves.
