Queen Elizabeth Park Resource Statement
Queen Elizabeth Park occupies a landscape between Paekākāriki and Raumati with Māori histories, coastal routes, wetland environments and later European land uses. A resource statement is valuable because it brings natural and cultural features together within a defined place, but it is not a substitute for iwi and hapū accounts of ancestral relationships.
The historical record
Queen Elizabeth Park Resource Statement — Greater Wellington — 2008
A coastal landscape with layered histories
Connections beyond the park boundary
The park belongs to the wider Kāpiti coastal story: inland routes, the changing shore, nearby settlements and the maritime corridor between the mainland and Kāpiti Island. Read the resource statement alongside local heritage trails, archaeological assessments and place-name histories to follow those connections.
