This area is currently under consideration by Rodney Council. If you wish to be part of the process contact Genevieve McGirr. The draft reserve management plan will be out for submissions around March next year and Genevieve will put you on the list of people to be contacted (so that you don't have to keep constant watch on the RDC website).

Atiu Farm Park
Contact: Auckland Regional Council
Status: wishlist
This is one of the Auckland Regions newest farm parks, due to open in 2011. This will make a wonderful equestrian resource if we can get access and potentially could provide camping and trail end facilities (see Kaipara Trail).
