The development of a Hamilton Zoo Master Plan has been pushed back a year from its original timeframe.
Zoo director Stephen Standley told Hamilton News last August that the development of a Zoo Master Plan aimed to prevent a future decline in revenue and increase support for the attraction.
Standley, who was involved in Auckland Zoo's master plan, said at the time that it was similar to a spatial plan.
"It is identifying what the development will look like in the various areas of the zoo, but it would also set some parameters around that which might include what the planting is going to look like, what is the layout? It is going to be looking at service facilities, the best routes for visitor flow through the zoo."
Last August, Council said the aim was to have a draft master plan completed in September and October and presented to the Strategy and Policy Committee in November in time for the Long Term Plan so any funding could be allocated.
