The Esplanade and Foreshore Reserves Management Plan is now operational, having been approved by Council and the Nelson/Marlborough Conservator on behalf of the Minister of Conservation.

Purpose of the Plan

A management plan is a working document which:

  • Provides the foundation on which all future reserve management will be undertaken
  • Publicly states the objectives and policies for the management of an area
  • Briefly outlines how these objectives and policies will be achieved
  • Acts as a reference point for integrated consistent management
  • Is a reference source for information on reserve areas

Background
