Have your say on the review of the West Coast Te Tai o Poutini Conservation Management Strategy
The Department of Conservation, Poutini Ngāi Tahu (Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Waewae and Te Rūnanga o Makaawhio) and the West Coast Tai Poutini Conservation Board are partnering to develop a new Conservation Management Strategy (CMS).
The CMS is the overarching strategy for managing the natural, cultural, historic, and recreational values of public conservation lands and waters on Te Tai Poutini West Coast.
With 84% of Te Tai Poutini West Coast being public conservation lands and waters, the CMS plays a significant role in shaping the region’s future. Whether you live near, operate on, care about, or visit the area, the new CMS will affect you as it will influence how these lands and waters are managed.
We want to hear how you use and value this place and how you think it should be managed for the next 10 years and beyond.
Take our survey to share your views and help shape how this place is managed over the next decade. You can find it here. The survey will be open from 16 October to 16 December.
