Proposal to change the reserve status for Tisbury Reserve

Proposal to amend the Rural Reserves Omnibus Management Plan 2012 to reclassify Tisbury Reserve to allow for Museum Storage Facility Development (Te Unua)

Creating somewhere safe to store the region’s taoka (artefacts) will be key to the success of the project. It is proposed to build a new storage facility (Te Unua) on Tisbury Reserve. This location meets the requirements for a seismically safe location that is within a good distance to Queens Park.

Submissions are invited on a proposal to amend the Rural Reserves Omnibus Management Plan 2012 to change the classification of Tisbury Reserve from Recreation Reserve to Local Purpose (Museum) Reserve to allow for the Te Unua Museum Redevelopment.
