We’re asking for your feedback on our Draft Signal Hill Reserve Management Plan and its suitability for managing Signal Hill Recreation Reserve. Your feedback is an important part of the plan’s review and will help shape the final document. We will consider your feedback before we finalise the changes.
Why are we reviewing this?
Under the Reserves Act 1977, we’re required to regularly review and update reserve management plans. Our Signal Hill plan is 20 years old.
What changes are proposed?
The plan outlines the ways we are proposing to improve the reserve. These include ways to improve recreational opportunities for mountain bikers, walkers, trail runners, runners, orienteers, and the community. Ideas include protecting view shafts and the biodiversity of the reserve by better managing vegetation and tracks to benefit reserve users. We also want to honour the cultural and mana whenua values through interpretation and storytelling projects.
