Suburban Reserves Management Plan

Adopted 2015.

The purpose of the Suburban Reserves Management Plan (SRMP) is to provide Wellington City Council with a clear framework for day-to-day management and decision-making for Council administered reserves and open spaces in the suburban areas between Khandallah/Broadmeadows and Miramar (including Makara) for the next 10 years.

The suburban reserves north of Khandallah/Broadmeadows are currently included in the Northern Reserves Management Plan. Objectives and policies give guidance for the development, management, protection, operation, and public use of these reserves.

The management plan meets the requirements of the Reserves Act 1977. Specifically, this plan will:

  • make sure parks and reserves are managed and maintained in a consistent manner
  • by providing common objectives and policies
  • give appropriate protection and management for important natural, recreation, historical, and cultural values on Council owned reserve land and open space
  • identify gaps in provision
  • identify opportunities for improving quality and maximising potential values and use
  • provide a framework to achieve ecological connectivity and track connections in and between each reserve
  • provide prioritised strategic management initiatives
  • satisfy statutory requirements of the Reserves Act 1977 and subsequent amendments
  • complete the suite of Wellington City Council Reserve Management Plans.
