Managing Porirua’s Parks - Have your say!

Healthy Parks, Healthy People

Parks are places where we play, encounter nature, enjoy sports, walk the dog, sit at lunchtime or just get away from the bustle of a busy daily life.

Porirua City Council is consulting on:

• The development of a reserves management plan for all Porirua parks and reserves; and
• proposed reserve classifications.

The closing date for submissions on both projects is 31 March 2010.

The Managing Porirua’s Parks page summarises these two projects, provides links to supporting information, and tells you how to have your say.
