25 years on from the gifting of the Taitua Arboretum to the people of Hamilton City and 50 years on from the first tree plantings, the Arboretum’s landscape has changed significantly; the trees have matured, infrastructure has been developed and visitation has increased significantly.
The intention was to take a fresh look at the Arboretum, identify what the key issues and challenges are currently, and what challenges may lie ahead. This plan looks to
re-establish what the key values of the site are, understand and highlight Taitua’s point of difference and describe development and investment priorities for the next 25 years.
