Reserve Management Plan

This survey has closed.


We asked thecommunity for input on Council-administered parks and recreational reserves in Buller. This feedback will help us create a draft Reserve Management Plan to guide how our public reserves are used and cared for in the future.

What we asked:

  • Why is your favourite park or reserve important to you?
  • How could it be improved?
  • How would you like to use it?
  • What activities or events would you like to see?

Recreational reserves are areas of land set aside specifically for public enjoyment and leisure activities. These reserves can include parks, sports fields, beaches, and picnic spots where people can engage in activities like walking, playing sports, and relaxing in nature. Council administers 28 reserves within the Buller district.

The Reserve Management Plan is an important document that ensures that these spaces are managed in a way that balances community enjoyment, environmental protection, and long-term sustainability. It also ensures that reserve use, development, management and protection are consistent with its classifications.

Your feedback will help to draft a Reserve Management Plan that reflects the community's values and aspirations.
