Before preparing a management plan for any 1 or more reserves under its control, the administering body shall –
- Give public notice of its intention to do so; and
- In that notice, invite person and organisations interested to send the administering body at its office written suggestions on the proposed plan within a within a time specified in this notice; and
- In preparing that management plan, give full consideration to any such comments received.
Council will put together a draft Reserve Management Plan for each of the individual above listed reserves which will be made available for the public to make submissions on at a later date.
We are in the early stages of planning and would like the hear the community’s views about what we could include. We invite you to tell us what you think we could provide for, so that we can produce a draft for formal consultation later this year.
Set your imagination free – tell us about the sort of activities you’d like to be able to do in your neighbourhood parks. Should we cut the grass so it looks like a playing field or let it grow longer? Do you visit any of these reserves now? If you do, what draws you there? And if you don’t, what keeps you away?
Let us know your thoughts ….
The process for initial feedback closes on, and feedback must be at Council’s office no later than, 4.00pm, 8 July 2024.
Provide your feedback or input by sending a written letter to the Kaikōura District Council, PO Box 6, Kaikōura or email to:submissions@kaikoura.govt.nz. You can also share your ideas by using the digital submission form on the link below:
