The purpose of the Northern Reserves Management Plan (NRMP) is to provide Wellington City Council with a clear framework for day to day management and decision making for the Council-owned reserves and open spaces in the northern area (northern reserves).
Objectives and policies give guidance for the development, management, protection, operation and public use of the northern reserves.
A primary objective of the NRMP is to ensure that the local and wider connections, recreational and ecological, are well integrated as development proceeds. The extent, location, form, and connectedness of open space at the local as well as the wider landscape scale are key determinants of visual amenity values as well as the wider landscapes character and quality.
Specifically, it will:
- ensure reserves are managed and maintained in a consistent manner by providing common objectives and policies
- ensure appropriate protection and management for important natural, recreation, historical and cultural values on Council owned reserve land and open space
- provide prioritised strategic management initiatives
- provide a framework to achieve connectivity and sustainability in and between the northern reserves.
