Esplanade and Foreshore Reserves Management Plan
Plan operational July 2008
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

(Excluding Tahunanui Beach, already covered by the Tahunanui Reserve Management Plan 2004.)
