Summary

The Canterbury (Waitaha) Conservation Management Strategy (CMS) describes the conservation values present in Canterbury. It provides guidance for DOC's work in the form of a vision, objectives, outcomes for places, policies and milestones. These translate DOC's strategic outcomes to Canterbury.

This CMS remains operative unless formally reviewed in full, in part or amended.

Volume I includes:

• Part One: vision and objectives
• Part Two: outcomes, policies and milestones for places
• Part Three: other specific policies that address legislative and general policy requirements
• Part Four: implementation monitoring and reporting, and review
• the glossary and appendices.

The vision and objectives in Part One, and the policies in Part Three, cover all public conservation lands and waters in Canterbury. The territorial jurisdiction aligns to the old Canterbury Conservancy boundary, now contained within the Eastern South Island Region.

Volume II contains maps and a public conservation land inventory.
