Preface

This Management Plan for Arthur’s Pass National Park has been reviewed in
accordance with the procedures set out in section 47 of the National Parks Act
1980. The plan is a statutory document and provides for the management of
the Park in accordance with the National Parks Act, the General Policy for
National Parks (2005) and the Canterbury Conservation Management
Strategy (2000). This is the second review of the original plan published in
accordance with the National Parks Act 1952 and it sets out the intentions for
managing the Park over the next ten years.

The Plan will be reviewed again within ten years from the date of approval,
but may be reviewed in whole or in part at any time as a result of changes in
circumstance.

This plan was approved by the New Zealand Conservation Authority on the
13th day of December 2007.
