Parks Planning Masterclasses

Xyst, in partnership with Recreation Aotearoa, delivered a series of five one-day, in person, parks planning masterclasses across Aotearoa, New Zealand in September 2024.

Across the five locations, 117 participants from 34 local government organisations participated in the masterclasses.

The classes were designed for new and experienced parks planners and managers to build practical knowledge of the Reserves Act 1977, reserve classification, reserve management planning and other parks planning tools.

The day included expert-led sessions, real-world case studies, and an interactive Q&A featuring Paul Beverley from law firm Buddle Findlay.

Project Benefit

The parks planning masterclasses aimed to build practical knowledge, strengthen capability in reserves and parks planning, improve compliance and provided parks planners with an opportunity to network.
