PLANNING & LOGISTICAL CONCEPTUALIZATION

Establishment of a dynamic visitor and educational facility at Tangikaroro Park is an important part of the Project’s planning. Suitable facilities primarily required are a visitor and information centre, and appropriate accommodation. This will be found in the upgraded former Whakaangiangi School Buildings and Grounds, which are approximately two kilometers along Whakaangiangi Road in very close proximity to Tangikaroro Park.
