Auckland/Waikato was the first Fish and Game Council to prepare a plan, which was approved by the Minister of Conservation on 18th August 1994. This plan builds upon its predecessor and, as with such, will be put to good use in guiding Council over the next decade. The preparation of this plan reflects the significant responsibility entrusted to the Council to prepare a management plan for sports fish and game birds and their habitat in this region and to provide quality angling and hunting opportunities for licence holders. The plan has again involved consultation with a wide range of stakeholders. We appreciate the input these people have made, which will make the plan more enduring.
