Outcomes sought

2.  Protect the potential connections to a 'Porirua to Pauatahanui' walkway network.

3.  Protect the natural forest remnants, riparian areas and wetland, promoting healthy ecological functioning through animal and plant pest control (including pampas).  Increase native planting, improve riparian values and remediate the wetland as funding opportunities allow.   Ensure that land management does not introduce contaminants to the wetland values. 

4.  Protect street-to-street, reserve-to-reserve, and ecological connections.
