Bay of Plenty residents have one more week to have their say on the draft Mauao Historic Reserve Management Plan.
Owners of Mauao and The Mauao Trust have worked with Tauranga City Council to establish a joint management board called Ngā Poutiriao o Mauao.
The plan has been created to achieve integrated management of the reserve and positively affect its historical, cultural, ecological and recreational values.
The objectives of the draft Mauao Reserve Management Plan are to protect the historical values and meet the cultural needs of tangata whenua, to protect and enhance the landscape character and ecological values of the reserve and to continue to meet the appropriate recreational and amenity needs of residents and visitors to the city.
Submissions close at 5pm on September 27 and can be made online at www.tauranga.govt.nz, at Tauranga City Council's customer service centre at 91 Willow Street, or at libraries around Tauranga.
