Coromandel Zone Management Plan
Our zone management plans (ZMPs) are the primary tools for implementation of all our river and catchment management activities.
The Coromandel Zone covers the majority of the Coromandel Peninsula, and includes all land within the Thames-Coromandel District Council boundary, except Kauaeranga, Tararu and catchments flowing into Thames town which
are included in the Waihou Piako Zone. The zone also includes part of the Hauraki District Council area between Whangamatā and Waihi.
The Coromandel Zone Plan includes:
- an overall vision for the Coromandel zone
- 30 year goals for the zone
- implementation actions for the next 10 year period to meet the goals identifies
- processes (and measures) for monitoring and reviewing
the plan.

The Ūmangawha/Colville landscape has seen the most dramatic change within the last century, which has bought both prosperity and loss to the people and the land. The catchment of Colville today is a hub of community groups and individuals working towards the welfare, the maui and the sustainability of both their people and the environment.
This land management resource document aims to provide both individuals and community groups with information and connections to help them restore or enhance the Colville catchment.
