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.
