Rotorua residents are being encouraged to share their aspirations for the future of Hannahs Bay Reserve.
Rotorua Lakes Council is partnering with Ngāti Uenukukōpako and Ngāti Te Roro o te Rangi and the Eastside Community Collective to review the reserve's current management plan and set clear aspirations for the future of the area.
Under the Reserves Act, the council is responsible for creating and maintaining management plans for all reserves under its control.
The plan sets out a framework for the future use and management of a reserve.
By working in a partnership, council, mana whenua and Eastside Community representatives aim to make sure the plan for Hannahs Bay meets the needs and aspirations of the community who treasure and use the reserve.
