Mangawhai Community Park - Master Plan Review

Council has prepared a new Master Plan for Mangawhai Community Park.  Your feedback is sought to see if we have this Draft Master Plan right or if changes are needed before it is adopted for implementation.  The Master Plan will direct how the park will be managed and developed going forward. This includes setting a vision for the park and what activities would be appropriate there.

Read the Draft Master Plan.

Key changes proposed in the Draft Master Plan include:

  1. Parking improvements to optimise existing car parking areas.
  2. Creating a new Merz Hut precinct with car parking and picnic areas off Thelma Road South.
  3. Permitting some commercial development in the park that may provide necessary and meaningful contributions to the infrastructure or economic development of the community.

Feedback, objections and comments can be submitted:

A hearing will be held for those who indicate they would like to speak to their submission.

All submissions must be received by close of business on Monday 06 May 2024.
