World Heritage nomination approved
Wellington reporter The Government has approved the nomination for the Fiordland, Mount Cook and Westland National Parks for inclusion in a World Heritage Park embracing the south-west comer of the South Island. The Government ratified the World Heritage Convention in November, 1984, which allowed the National Parks and Reserves Authority to make the nomination. Now the nomination has
to be considered by the world heritage committee of U2IELS.C.O. A dectsion is expected by NovemberDecember this year.
No consultation with focal or regional councils was needed before the approval was sent by the
Government to UJI.ES.CO. World heritage site status would not require any changes to the present status of National parks, or the legislation or policies under which they are managed.
