Historic reserves of New Zealand

Historic reserves are a type of New Zealand protected area. Most are less than 10 hectares in size, and protect places of places, objects, and natural features of historic, archaeological, cultural or educational value.[1] Land Information New Zealand lists 185 historic reserves on its website.[2]

Northland's historic reserves include Ruapekapeka pā, the site of a significant battle in 1846, and Pompallier House, an early Catholic mission at Russell.[1]

In Auckland, some historic reserves are located on the Hauraki Gulf. One reserve protects the World War II fortifications at Stony Batter on Waiheke Island. Another includes the palatial house and Italian garden of 19th century Governor George Grey, which is maintained by volunteers.[1]

Wellington's historic reserves include the wooden Government Buildings.[1]

In Otago, there are several historic reserves related to the Otago gold rush, including St Bathans Post Office and the former diggings at Gabriels Gully.[1]
