The only exceptions are gas cookers and BBQ.

Waihirere Domain's plan

Waihirere Domain is one of our district’s destination reserves. In its ‘glory days’ with the swimming pool it was the place to go for family picnics.

Have your say on the future management plan for the Domain. The plan focuses on revitalisation of kaitaikitanga, protecting the natural and recreation values.

We welcome your feedback on the draft plan before 20 February
