Plan for Rere falls and rockslide

Council recently gave approval to the preparation of a management plan for Rere falls and Rere rockslide.

We invite the public to make written suggestions, over the next month, about any concerns or issues you may have, or how you might like to see these places looked after in the future.  "This phase of the management plan process is a great opportunity for me to find out who is interested in these reserves, what they consider important, as well as any concerns they may have about this process" says De-Arne Sutherland, senior reserves planner.  These popular destinations are natural treasures.  We need to look after these special places, as well as keeping them accessible for everyone to enjoy!

 "Some of the issues I imagine council will be looking at through this process will be about how we provide car parking and other park facilities, such as toilets and picnic tables.  The most important aspect will be providing for visitors while retaining the 'natural countryside aspect that is intrinsic to the appreciation of Rere falls and rockslide".

If you would like to make comments on the management of these areas please send them to council by 7 December 2009, or email service@gdc.govt.nz.  Any questions please contact our Reserves Planner.
