Pukekura Park – guiding the next chapter

Status: Open
Feedback closes: Friday 19 August 2022


New Plymouth District’s diverse parks and reserves are a key part of our outdoor lifestyle, and we’re required to regularly update our plans for how we manage them.

NPDC is working on updating the management plan for Pukekura Park. We’re starting with a discussion with our community about the issues the park faces and some ideas to address them, and we also want to hear about what you expect from our iconic park and any ideas you have for its future.

Your feedback will help us draft a management plan that will be released for public consultation early next year.

 

Pukekura Park – guiding the next chapter

Pukekura Park is a beloved and iconic part of our region. We want to enhance those elements that make it special, and ensure that the park continues to reflect the interests of the community.

We have various issues and proposals for you to consider. Please have a read through the discussion document, then send in your feedback.
