History

The Waipoua Forest Sanctuary was formally established in 1953 following a long public campaign.

The Northland Conservation Park was established in 1984, and came under the management of the Department of Conservation when it was established in 1987.

Since 1988, the Department has been investigating the establishment of a national park based around Waipoua Forest. Since 2008, the Department has been consulting with Te Roroa on establishing a national park within its tribal area.
