Exp Explanation:
lanation:
Concept plans are a necessary prelude to the development of all parks. They include the
analysis of the values of the park land and form the basis for the protection and
management of these values. The concept plan provides the context for subsequent
development plans. Concept plans are intended to be a values-based analysis and
prescription for the future development and management of the park.
The layout of a park is governed by the concept and development plans for that park. The
maps contained in Volume 2 of this plan largely incorporate the content of existing concept
plans for the regional parks; including a reviewed concept plan for Ambury (refer to Map 1)
and Cornwallis in the Waitakere Ranges (refer to Map 19.16), and new concept plans for
Atiu Creek (refer to Maps 2.1 and 2.2), the regional park land at Te Arai (refer to Map 16) and
the Schischka Block at Wenderholm (refer to Map 21). The regional park land at Pakiri, Te
Rau Puriri Regional Park, and the regional park land at Waitawa are yet to have concept
plans prepared for them and have not been formally developed and opened for full public
use. These parks are, however, included in this plan and are subject to the general policies
in Parts 6 to 16 and specific policies in Part 16, and the Parks Bylaw 2007. The maps in
Volume 2 relating to these regional parks (refer to maps 10, 17 and 20 respectively)
therefore represent ‘interim’ concept plans.
