The Wellington Town Belt Act 2016 (WTBA) requires the Council to adopt a management plan and review it at intervals of not more than 10 years.
The purpose of the Wellington Town Belt Management Plan is to provide Wellington City Council with a clear framework for making decisions and managing the Town Belt for at least the next 10 years.
The plan provides a framework for addressing issues common to the Town Belt and managing them in a comprehensive and consistent way.
Objectives and policies give guidance for the development, management, protection, operation and public use of the Town Belt. Specifically, the plan will:
- be consistent with the provisions of the WTBA and Town Belt Deed (as described in section 9 of the WTBA)
- ensure the Town Belt is managed and maintained in a consistent manner by providing common objectives and policies
- ensure protection and appropriate management for important natural, recreation, historical and cultural values on the Town Belt
- provide prioritised strategic management initiatives
- build on the policies and initiatives in the 1995 plan.
