For general information on the Objectives set by Government start your visit with the Objectives Matrix Introduction and the Objectives set by Government for the FRPA Values pages.


1. Use this Objectives Matrix Table of Content web page if you are only interested in viewing or downloading the relevant documents, maps and GIS files grouped under the 11 FRPA values.
2. You can also view or download files directly from the FTP site.

3. The Web based Objectives Matrix site contains objectives set by Government, relevant legislation sections, documents, maps, and useful web links along with a rational in a hierarchical order specific for the South Island Forest District Planning Area.
Using this site is subject to the disclaimer at the bottom of this page.

A collection of supporting documents, maps and GIS files, relevant to the SIFD area can be found grouped under the 11 FRPA values below:
