Summary

The Southland Murihiku Conservation Management Strategy (CMS) describes the conservation values present in mainland Southland and the Subantarctic Islands, and provides guidance for DOC's work in the form of a vision, objectives, outcomes for Places, policies, and milestones. It translates DOC's strategic outcomes to Southland.

This CMS remains operative unless formally reviewed in full. in part or amended.

Volume I includes:

  • Part One: vision and objectives
  • Part Two: outcomes, policies and milestones for places
  • Part Three: other specific policies that address legislative and general policy requirements
  • Part Four: implementation monitoring and reporting, and review
  • the glossary and appendices.

The vision and objectives in Part One, and the policies in Part Three, cover all public conservation lands and waters in Southland. The territorial jurisdiction aligns to the old Southland Conservancy boundary excluding Stewart Island/Rakiura, which has a combined CMS and National Park management plan published in 2011. The Southland Murihiku area is within the Southern South Island Region.

Volume II contains maps and a public conservation land inventory.
