Waikawa Bay Foreshore Reserve Management Plan
The Waikawa Bay Foreshore Reserve is a small popular recreation reserve located on the eastern side of Waikawa Bay between Port Underwood Road/Waikawa Road and the sea. The Reserve is used as a base for picnicking, swimming, launching small craft and trailered boats and providing access to moored boats within Waikawa Bay.
The Reserve is of great significance for Te Ātiawa o Te Waka-ā-Māui and is also very important to residents and visitors who enjoy its many attributes.
The Council has prepared the Draft Waikawa Bay Foreshore Reserve Management Plan and this includes an overview of the key values and issues identified through consultation. An overall vision along with objectives, policies and actions then provide direction for the future management of the Reserve. The Draft Plan is now available for public feedback. The feedback period opened on 16 December 2024 and will close on 7 March 2025.
A more detailed account of the overall process, consultation undertaken and responses to issues identified is provided in a separate document. The document does not form part of the draft reserve management plan and is not open to submission but is intended to provide more detail should readers seek further information about the review process.
A copy of the Draft Plan can also be viewed at the Council’s offices.
