Western Bay of Plenty District Council is kicking off a review of its Kaimai Ward Reserve Management Plan and wants to hear your thoughts on how the spaces where locals and visitors play, explore, and unwind can be enhanced.
With close to 50 unique reserves – ranging from playgrounds and sportsgrounds to bush trails and scenic spots for picnics, the plan will shape how the Council cares for the spaces over the next nine years.
“The community knows these spaces best, and we want your ideas to be at the heart of this plan,” says Council’s Senior Recreation Planner, Jason Crummer.
“It could be a few extra trees for shade, a walking track to connect neighbourhoods, or even new playground equipment. Whatever it is, we’re here to listen.”
The Kaimai Ward Reserve Management Plan was last reviewed in 2016.
“We’ve made great progress since 2016, but we want to continue to deliver what the community needs, so it’s crucial that we plan for the future together,” said Mr Crummer.
“Your feedback will help shape the draft Kaimai Ward Reserve Management Plan, which will be shared again with the community early next year for further input.”
