Horowhenua District Council has finalised the design of the concept plan on the long-term development of Holben / Te Wharangi Reserve, one of Foxton Beach’s most popular parks.
The Concept Development Plan proposes a vision of how Holben / Te Wharangi Reserve could look in the future.

Key aspects of the plan include:
- developing a wetland area to filter and cleanse stormwater;
- improving native biodiversity and habitat value;
- celebrating the kaupapa and kaitiakitanga status of mana whenua;
- creating a wide range of opportunities for play, recreation and learning for all ages; and
- improving access into and through the reserve.
Council has been working with partners and key community stakeholders to develop the concept plan, including:
