Proposals to classify reserves in Moutere-Waimea Ward
Tasman District Council manages 156 parks, reserves and open space areas within Moutere-Waimea Ward. Many of these areas are made up of a number of land parcels.
We need to classify most of the reserve areas (207 parcels of land in total) before publicly notifying a draft Moutere-Waimea Ward Reserve Management Plan.
We want to know your views on the proposed classification of these existing reserves.
Submissions on the proposals are open until 15 March 2021.
