You could also call this:

"Plans to look after New Zealand's reserves"

Illustration for Reserves Act 1977

The Department makes plans to manage reserves in New Zealand. You need to know that these plans are called conservation management plans. They help the Department look after the reserves.

The Department manages reserves according to these plans. These plans do not override other laws or policies, such as the Conservation Act 1987, or general policies approved under section 15A. They also do not override conservation management strategies.

If a management plan was already in place when this law started, it is now considered a conservation management plan. The Department can approve draft management plans that were proposed under section 41 as conservation management plans. Some sections of the Conservation Act 1987, such as sections 17E, 17G, 17H, 17I, and 17N, apply to these conservation management plans.
