Parks, reserves and playgroundsThe council maintains approximately 500
hectares of recreational grounds and facilities through the district, in
over thirty locations. They are there for the enjoyment of all,
ratepayers and visitors alike.
Many of the parks and reserves also contain playgrounds. It is the council's responsibility to maintain these to comply with New Zealand/Australian playground standards. These are supplied through the Community board programme. Please look after our parks and reserves as they are there for us to enjoy. If you would like to use a park or reserve for a wedding, sports day or fund raiser please look at the information we have provided about applying to hold an event on a Council Reserve Go to topVolunteers in Parks and ReservesVolunteers make a vital contribution to the social and environmental well being of our district. They often provide an enhancement to the current level of service provided by Council. Council recognises and values volunteers. Changes to the Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992 have extended the protection of the Act to include volunteers. Prior to starting a project or working in a Council park or reserves please read Volunteer Activity Safety Guidelines Pamphlet (PDF) Council will hold an annual Health & Safety Seminar for volunteers and if you wish to be involved in this please contact our Community Services Operations Manager using our normal contact details Go to top |
