TONGARIRO DOMAIN - Taupo District Council

Tongariro Domain Reserve Management Plan December 2005
control measures and parking on grassed areas in certain cases
at certain times.
Policy E
Policy F
Policy G
Explanation:
An historic designation is in place in the Taupo Proposed
District Plan to protect and permit the proposed realignment of
Redoubt Street to connect up with the Spa Road/Tongariro
Street roundabout. The existing use of the reserve can
continue in the meantime but no new proposals will be
permitted which prejudice the potential realignment.
Following the completion of the Eastern Taupo Arterial Bypass
and second river crossing, consideration will be given to
improving the integration of and links to the Tongariro Domain
from the CBD through pavement widening and better crossing
points on Tongariro Street.
To protect and enhance vehicular access to adjoining land uses
and existing and proposed Domain activities and facilities,
whilst protecting the recreational purpose of the Domain, the
existing Story Place to Redoubt Street to Spa Road roundabout
link will be upgraded and realigned in general accordance with
the alternative option in the Taupo Town Centre Structure Plan.
There are public roads through the Domain which provide
access to surrounding land uses and Domain activities and
facilities and additional parking space. The current Story
Place/Redoubt Street/Spa Road roundabout link is inadequate
for future needs and will be upgraded. This will help protect the
rest of the Domain whilst meeting town centre traffic
management needs. State Highway One is a dominant activity
adjacent to the Domain and is controlled by Transit NZ.
Following the completion of the Eastern Taupo Arterial bypass,
the state highway designation will move to the bypass and
Taupo District Council will be in a position to improve access to
the Domain and to seek the improved integration of the
Domain and Central Business District.
