  Abel Tasman foreshore now a scenic reserve: Media release
Foreshore along the Abel Tasman National Park coastline is now a scenic reserve under the joint management of the Tasman District Council and the Department of Conservation.
The foreshore reserve is to be managed under an administration committee comprised of the Tasman District Council Chief Executive and the DOC Nelson/Marlborough Conservator.
Reserve status for the Abel Tasman foreshore was then determined to be consistent with the Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004 and the Conservation Minister, Chris Carter, gave his approval for the foreshore to be created a reserve.

 Scoop: Tasman Council urged to retain ward system
Rural Women New Zealand (RWNZ) has grave concerns about the effectiveness of rural representation if Tasman District Council goes ahead with a proposal to abolish its ward-based voting system, and is calling on the council to scrap the idea.
Rural communities with smaller populations, such as Golden Bay, are unlikely to have the weight of numbers to elect councillors who live in their own area if a simple first-past-the-post system is adopted, as proposed by Mayor John Hurley this month.
If wards are abolished and Tasman’s 12 councillors are elected regardless of where they live, it is likely to lead to a strong urban bias on council, despite the fact that 75% of the land area is rural.
