Background

Council is responsible for several reserve areas in Castle Hill Village, which is located 100km north-west of Christchurch on State Highway 73.

Under the Reserves Act 1977, Council must prepare management plans for all recreation reserves it administers. In 2010, a reserves management plan was developed for the village and adopted in 2011. The plan sets out the long-term management, development, and expenditure planning for the Castle Hill Village reserves.

Reserve management plans must be regularly reviewed so that they can adapt to new information and remain fit for purpose. Over the last six years, Council has worked closely with the Castle Hill Community Association and the wider village to review the plan.
