Rangitikei District Council

Rangitikei District Council is currently developing Management Plans for its parks and reserves. It is working on the Plans in two parts: the first is a District-wide component which will apply to all parks and reserves and the second will be specific to the particular park or reserve being considered. The procedure is that Council prepares and adopts a draft Plan which is then subject to a period of public consultation (two months in the case of reserves). Following this consultation process, Council will reconsider the draft plan and adopt it in a final form.

To date, Council has prepared a plan for Wilson Park in Marton and has just finished consultation on a draft plan for Dudding Lake. The submissions following the consultation on the draft plan for Dudding Lake will be considered by Council at its meeting in November 2009 and the final Plan will be prepared for adoption in due course.

A draft document to address the District-wide component is currently being developed by a working group of Councillors and Council officers. It will be released in the near future for public consultation, along with a draft Plan that is specific to Memorial Park in Taihape. These will be posted on the website as soon as Council adopts the final draft versions.
