3 Introduction Local authorities are obliged to develop Management Plans for the recreational reserves that it administers under the s Act Rangitikei District Council has undertaken to also develop management plans for all its recreational parks. The management plan has been prepared to enable the Rangitikei District Council to establish the desired mix of uses for its recreational parks and reserves and to guide day today management. Determining community preferences and establishing the best means to provide for them are essential ingredients of good management planning. The management plan will provide the community with certainty about the function and future management of its recreational parks and reserves. The management plan will contain a mix of classified recreation reserves and recreation parks. It is presented in two parts: Part One applies to all recreational parks and reserves in the Rangitikei District. It outlines the legislative framework, relevant Council policies and plans and general management objectives and policies covering all Council-owned and administered recreational parks and reserves in the Rangitikei. The s Act 1977 applies only to classified reserves. Part Two comprises sections applicable to individual recreational parks and reserves. As Council develops specific plans for each recreational park and reserve, new sections will be included into Part Two. Review The management plan will be subject to continuous review as outlined in section 41(4) of the s Act Definitions Council: means the Rangitikei District Council Park: refers to a recreational park : refers to a classified recreational reserves under the s Act

4 The s Act 1977 The s Act 1977 is the principal piece of legislation that governs the management and development of reserves. Section 17 of the s Act 1977 states that recreation reserves are to be managed primarily for the purpose of: providing areas for the recreation and sporting activities and the physical welfare and enjoyment of the public, and for the protection of the natural environment and beauty of the countryside, with emphasis on the retention of open spaces and on outdoor recreational activities, including recreational tracks in the countryside. Section 17 also outlines the management principles by which a recreation reserve must be administered and maintained. These are: Generally, the public shall have free access Scenic, historic, archaeological, or other features present on the reserve (if at all), or indigenous flora or fauna (if any), must be managed and protected Those qualities of the reserve which contribute to the pleasantness, harmony, and cohesion of the natural environment and to the better use and enjoyment of the reserve shall be conserved Its value as a soil, water, and forest conservation area shall be maintained Bylaws As public places, Council s recreational parks and reserves are subject to controls outlined in the following bylaws: Control of Skateboarding Bylaw Public Places Bylaw Trading in Public Places Bylaw Control of Advertising Signage Bylaw Control of Dogs Bylaw Liquor Control Bylaw The Long Term Plan The Long Term Plan outlines a review of leisure and community assets which will aim to provide a full range of recreational parks and reserves that meet the needs of the population. It will work to maintain the range and quality of playing surfaces and facilities that meet the range of sporting codes. Council will work with community boards, community committees and Te Roopu Ahi Kaa and local communities to review current community and leisure assets with the intention to achieve best fit for purpose in each community, and identify those which may be surplus or underused. 4

5 Management Objectives and Policies: This section broadly outlines Council s objectives for the management of its parks and reserves, providing additional information and guidance for activity and asset management planning. Generally, Council will emphasise retention of open space for outdoor recreation maximise freedom of access to reserves for all people rather than a few encourage multiple use of reserve land and facilities when feasible and appropriate facilitate greater involvement of the public in reserve administration and decisionmaking. 1 al Park and Management Where there is no al Park and Management Plan: Part Two in place, management of the reserve shall be entirely at Council s discretion. Where there is a demonstrated need for a separate governance arrangement, Council may form a Management Committee to be delegated responsibility for the management of a particular reserve or reserves in line with an agreed Terms of Reference. 2 Rights of public access The public has a right to access all reserves administered by Council and it encourages public use through a variety of means. The Council may, from time to time, limit access to any reserve under its administration for the protection of public safety and well-being, or in accordance with exclusive rights of access granted under a lease or licence to occupy to the lessee or licensee, or in respect of its powers under s53 of the s Act Council may limit what animals may be brought onto a reserve, whether by the public or by any lease- or licence-holder. These restrictions will have regard for public safety, conservation values, and the management of the reserve. 3 Leases and licence to occupy A lease is preferred where any or all of the following apply: The arrangement is to be long term (no less than 5 years); The lessee intends to operate the reserve for commercial gain; The Council desires to protect Council-owned improvements or assets located on the reserve; The Council desires to ensure the District s reputation is not brought into disrepute as a result of reserve mismanagement; If any of the above criteria are not present, or the cost of preparing a lease outweighs the lease rental, Council may negotiate a licence to occupy in lieu of a lease. 5

6 Council will not pay or otherwise compensate any occupier of reserves land for improvements to reserves remaining upon the termination of a lease or licence to occupy, unless agreed prior to the improvement being made. Where compensation is to be given, a methodology for assessing the compensation must be part of the lease or licence, or a variation to the lease or license. There are two overarching objectives and four general policies that describe how Council will manage its recreational parks and reserves in the future. Objectives 1 To promote and encourage the use of Council s recreational parks and reserves for a range of recreational activities. 2 To identify and protect the unique characteristics of each of Council recreational parks and reserves and to enhance the recreational amenities. Policies 1 The Council will encourage community participation in the planning, development, management and maintenance of Council recreational parks and reserves. Rationale: Community support is essential to the management and development of its recreational parks and reserves. Council will aim to manage the reserve in partnership with the local community. Implementation: Council will work towards a management structure which enables maximum ownership of its recreational parks and reserves and associated facilities by the community. 2 To maintain and develop recreational facilities at Council recreational parks and reserves in close consultation with the local community to enhance the recreational values and opportunities. Rationale: Community support is more likely to be forthcoming if Council works with local communities to develop and maintain facilities at Council s recreational parks and reserves that meet their needs. 6

7 Implementation: Any developments at Council recreational parks and reserves will be consulted upon with the community. 3 To encourage maximum use of Council recreational parks and reserves by a range of different groups. Rationale: Good day-to-day operational management of appropriate recreational and leisure facilities has the potential to greatly increase the number of activities and events at Council recreational parks and reserves. Implementation: Council practice around the day-to-day operational management of the park and facilities will ensure that conflicting demands are managed and that use is maximised. This may mean, for example: Balancing the demand from certain groups for exclusive use and ticketed events with the right of public access Restricting vehicle access onto the fields without preventing pedestrian access 4 To ensure as far as practical, the safety of users at Council s recreational parks and reserves. Rationale: It is important that users feel safe when using the facilities at Council s recreational parks and reserves. Council has its own procedures, but must also rely on users of the facilities to act appropriately in circumstances which involve Health and Safety, for example, to supervise their children whilst using play equipment etc. Implementation: Council will ensure that regular inspections and remedial work are undertaken effectively and will comply with all requirements for signage and safety etc. Council will undertake an appropriate monitoring and surveillance regime, and will work with the community and Police to contain any vandalism or anti-social use of the assets, for example to use Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) to enhance safety at all recreational parks. 7
