West Coast to get bigger National Parks, but some DOC land may be sold
Stuff - Environment: 27-May-2022
West Coast National Parks are proposed to grow by 77,000 hectares, a special Ngāi Tahu historic reserve will be created and some Crown land could be sold off under new recommendations.
The recommendations, which will be up for public consultation before a final decision is made by the Minister for Conservation, include doubling the size of Paparoa National Park and the creation of a 500ha new Ngāi Tahu historic reserve.
They have been made by a panel of experts in a Government review of stewardship land on the West Coast and across the top of the South Island announced in November.
