Coromandel-Colville Reserves: Management Plan September 2018 Purpose of this plan The Reserves Act 1977 requires that Thames-Coromandel District Council (the Council), as an administering body, prepare this management plan (Section 41). Reserves Act management plans are an important reserve management tool. These management plans are developed in consultation with reserve users, community and key stakeholder groups, with consideration to current management of a reserve. A management plan will provide for continuity between legislative requirements, council plans and policies, and the day-to-day operation of a reserve. This draft Coromandel Colville Reserves Management Plan applies to all reserves in the Coromandel Colville area administered by Thames-Coromandel District Council that are covered by the Reserves Act 1977. A management plan for the Coromandel Colville reserves was first prepared in 2005. This is the first review of the original plan.
