Friends of Belmont Regional Park Inc

Community Organisation

The Friends of Belmont Regional Park Inc. (FoBRP) was formed in 1999 to promote community interest and advocacy for this significant public open space reserve (3,500 Ha). The area has a mix of remnant and regenerating forest, open hill tops with spectacular views and farmland, and is accessible from several entrances on the Hutt and Cannons Creek – Takapu Rd sides; see http://www.gw.govt.nz/belmont/ . Our particular interests are in management and policy concerning the park, and in promoting interest and activities associated with environmental, historical and outdoor recreational values. A working group meets most months and there is an annual general meeting; see http://fobrp.org.nz/ .
