The district’s destination management plan will go out for consultation this month, following a planning workshop last week. Tourism Waitaki general manager Margaret Munro said consultation was expected to take about three months, and it was important there was a range of voices heard. "The bulk thing now is we’ve got a governance group and a working group [for the plan]. It reviewed the plan’s purpose and looked at recent national initiatives involving environment protection and sustainability in New Zealand tourism sector. The destination management plan would work alongside the district spatial plan, long-term plan and the Mackenzie district destination management plan.
