Submissions close on Waitemata Harbour Foreshore Reserves Management Plan
Submissions have closed on the draft Waitemata Harbour Foreshore Reserves Management Plan.
Nearly 50 public submissions were received during the two consultation periods and they covered a diverse range of issues - from people wanting more walking tracks in the city’s reserves, to calls for off-leash exercise areas for dogs, to people wanting car parking issues resolved.
The Waitemata Harbour Foreshore Reserves Management Plan combines all local reserves that lie adjacent to the Waitemata Harbour, that are managed by the Waitakere City Council.
These reserves are important public spaces, not only do they cater for many different users but they often also play host to native vegetation and wildlife – reserve management plans are designed to enhance and protect the ecological and community values of these areas.
There is a scheduled hearing which is open to the public on September 4, 5pm at the Waitemata Room at Waitakere Central – where those who have submitted are invited to speak to their submissions.
The plan is expected to be adopted by October.
