Hawke's Bay residents are being invited to say what they would like to see on the province's landmark, Te Mata Peak, and how they would best like to use it.
A long-term vision for Te Mata Peak is on the drawing board and the Te Mata Park Trust is lookingfor public input into it. The peak is used by many. It was set up for the use of the Hawke's Bay community by the Chambers family in 1927. It remains in the ownership of the trust, and is protected by an Open Space Covenant through the Queen Elizabeth II Trust.
The trust is asking the public what they would like to see on the peak.
Hastings District Council is assisting the trust to get input from the public, and as part of that, the council is putting its big, yellow "My Voice My Choice" consultation container on the peak for the weekend. It will be set up in the main car park and manned from 8am to 4pm Saturday and Sunday. Comment can also be made on the trust's website, tematapark.co.nz.
The council said the trust would collate all the feedback into a draft management plan designed to set priorities for the next 10 years-plus.
