MARK TAYLOR/Stuff Improving parking at the estate is a priority, Waikato District Council douments said. Other plans include making a viewing area for the cricket oval, looking into the lake's water quality and adding a new jetty, and making it easier to string fairy lights across the “music lawn” beside the homestead. However, the plan doesn't commit council to any of these works, documents say. It will need heritage professionals’ advice, and will decide what funds to allocate in the annual and long-term plan processes. The reserve is part of a block of land taken from local Māori during the 1863 land wars, Mayor Allan Sanson wrote in council documents.
