Henderson-Massey Local Board is developing a local parks management plan for all parks and reserves in the local board area. The plan will guide the use, protection and development of local parks and reserves over the next 10 years.

The plan will focus on important cultural, historic, natural and recreational features of parks and reserves in the area.

This plan is required under the Reserves Act 1977.

We used online platforms, in-person and print to reach a wider audience.

For a complete summary of the consultation findings, please download the below report:

We will use your feedback to help draft the plan. We will also work with mana whenua (local Māori) to include their input.

In 2027, we will run a second round of public consultation to get feedback on the draft plan.

The local parks management plan will:

• guide how we develop and improve our parks
• help us meet community needs and aspirations
• guide how we use the parks for recreational activities
• identify issues and opportunities at specific parks.

Tell us:

• what you value about parks in the Henderson-Massey Local Board area
• what main challenges you experience when using parks in the local board area
• your ideas to protect and improve parks over the next 10 years.
• if you have any other feedback to help us draft the park management plan.

We also want to know:

• how you use the parks in the Henderson-Massey Local Board area
• how often you visit your local parks
• which parks you visit the most in the local board area.

You can have your say from Thursday 1 May to Sunday 1 June 2025.

To have your say, you can:

We will use your feedback to prepare a draft local parks management plan and present it to Henderson-Massey Local Board. We expect to run a second consultation in 2027 to get your feedback on the draft plan.

Once adopted, the plan will replace all existing reserve management plans for parks in Henderson-Massey.
