The Bush Society advocates for the park
CPBS has been advocating to council and the community for better management of Centennial Park and nature in general since 1976.
The Bush Society has taken an active role in the development of the park management plan. This has put the Society at odds with some locals who differ in their ideas around weed trees in particular. This resulted in a prolonged battle with in 2008-2010 culminating in the current Centennial Park Management Plan which can be viewed here. The photo above was taken a long time ago when the society was fighting the Takapuna Local Board to get the plan changed.
The society has opposed a huge dam proposed in the valley, advocated for better stormwater management, improvements to tracks and the park road.
CPBS also submits on local board plans and relevant council plans such as dog control bylaws to protect nature in Campbells Bay.
