Reserve Management Plans
This page describes Porirua’s Reserve Management Plans and gives links to the documents.
On this page:
Management plans guide how we look after our parks and reserves: their protection, uses, maintenance, and development.
The Management Plans can be downloaded from this page, or viewed at the Porirua Public Library.
Not all reserves have a management plan. If a reserve is not covered in a plan, Council is guided by a General Policy for Reserves.
