Working closely with Kapiti Coast District Council and in partnership with iwi, Xyst developed a Strategy to safeguard and guide the provision of open space for the next 30 years, to ensure the right open space is provided in the right place for future generations to enjoy and cherish. The Strategy was developed using a Kaupapa Māori framework to articulate the kaupapa (values), hunanga (objectives) and tikanga (approaches) to be adopted.
This project involved a wide range of stakeholders who were engaged with at stages of the Strategy development.
This Strategy was nominated for a Recreation Aotearoa Planning, Research and Policy Award in 2022.
