What we want to achieve
The community outcomes we are seeking to achieve by increasing the number of buildings and places listed on the Historic Places Trust Register are:
- Heritage sites and landscapes of significance to whanau, hapu and iwi are preserved and valued.
- Our historic buildings and places are retained and cared for. New developments are designed to be sensitive to people, places and the environment.
