This management plan provides for the management and development of river berm land alongside the Waimea River and lower Wairoa and Wai-iti rivers in Tasman District. These lands are held by Tasman District Council for the primary purposes of river control and soil conservation. This management plan has been prepared in response to public enthusiasm for these lands to be managed for a wider range of uses, such as nature conservation, historic resource protection, public access and recreation. To facilitate this objective, the lands have been grouped together as the Waimea River Park.
Tasman District Council is obliged to continue to manage lands within the Waimea River Park for river control and soil conservation. This management plan identifies other values and uses of the park lands and outlines how these values and uses can be provided for while not compromising the primary management objectives. The plan seeks to give guidance and clear direction for management of the park by Tasman District Council for the next ten years, while remaining flexible enough to provide for changing circumstances within that period.
