An amenity area is a type of New Zealand protected area.[1]

Under the Conservation Act 1987, designated Amenity Areas must legally be managed so:

  • its indigenous natural resources and its historic resources are protected
  • it contributes to and allow for people to appreciate its indigenous natural resources and its historic resources[1]
  • it fosters the recreational features of the area.

Land Information New Zealand lists 16 amenity areas on its website, all in the West Coast Region:[2]
