Ngai Tahu have clearly indicated they support the wetlands protection. A marketing document is currently being developed by the Travis Wetland Trust in association with the Council and will be used to complement the Landscape Development Plan as an aid to gaining sponsorship and for general publicity. Travis Wetland Nature Heritage Park is an exciting project which will provide interest and enjoyment for generations to come. The Wetland - Background and Overview , provides a background to the Development Plan , the wetland's history and why it is important. Park Concept - Objectives and Priorities, lists the objectives for the Heritage Park, provides an impression of the appearance of the Park towards which management will be directing efforts, sets out development priorities for achieving the objectives and includes a budget summary listing costs and revenue associated with the proposals.
Appendices follow which provide further detail for development and management.
Because the document is designed to be read by a wide variety of people the more technical details have been allotted to the Appendices. They should be consulted by those concerned with the park's management and operations before undertaking any activities.
