What we are proposing

In 2019, we asked for feedback on how you use your parks and how you would like to use them in the future. We used that feedback to create the draft Upper Harbour Local Parks Management Plan.

The draft plan:

  • guides the management of Upper Harbour local parks
  • outlines how we will manage local parks and protect their values over the next ten years.


About the draft plan

The draft plan covers all parks and reserves owned and managed by Auckland Council in Upper Harbour. That includes around 260 parks and approximately 800 hectares of land.


Where the ideas come from

The ideas in the draft local parks management plan come from:

  • our consultation with the community
  • community organisations
  • mana whenua (hapū or iwi with ancestral relationships to certain areas in Tāmaki Makaurau where they exercise customary authority)
  • mataawaka (Maōri who live in Tāmaki Makaurau and are not in a mana whenua group).


How the plan is formatted

The Draft Upper Harbour Local Parks Management Plan is in two volumes.

  • Volume 1 sets out the scope and purpose of the plan.
  • Volume 2 is a more detailed look at what the plan will mean for individual parks:
    • Albany
    • Albany Heights
    • Greenhithe
    • Herald Island
    • Hobsonville
    • Oteha
    • Paremoremo
    • Rosedale
    • Schnapper Rock
    • West Harbour
    • Whenuapai
    • Windsor Park

The plan has been prepared in line with the Reserves Act 1977.
