The grazing concession for the current occupant has expired and we're open to expressions of interest for this area. We invite interested parties to submit their interest through our Expression of Interest ‘EOI’ process. Information gathered from the EOI will assist us to develop a process which best reflects public interest in this concession opportunity.
Interest in the land:
- can be for any kind of activity – not just grazing
- does not need to include the whole area and may only cover a smaller part of this land.

The roughly 290 ha portion of the Okiwi Recreation Reserve is located near the northeastern Whangapoua Creek (Estuary) near Okiwi and is comprised of numerous smaller blocks scattered along the edge of Mabey Road and Aotea Road.
