Cheers thought some one would know what they were up to

But they have been available to the public for a long time.
Legally I am pretty sure any road that is open to the public is public.
For example the access road to the power stations I work on are owned and maintained by the company, but are treated as public.
I am sure others on here will know what is correct.
But it is a time that all current users get together as a lot of users besides hunters use these roads.
Going by reports by trampers they probably use them as much if not more than hunters.
I can remember going on school camps at Waipakihi back in the 70s.

Not public roads.

How does one tell if they are or not?

Purple layer on WAMS GIS is road reserve.


Other coloured layers if they included the area of the roads could be public land access (e.g. if they were shaded green - conservation land).

Just found this which says it all.
Not looking good as deer numbers in that lower part of the river will really take off.

It sounds like Rangipo intake Rd is owned by Genesis energy.

One would think so as their access is essential.

Such a shame, great place to take groups of kids to get them into the NZ back country.

Can only assume that it will be heavily monitored with cameras and alike to act as a deterrent to stop people biking in there.

so thank you to helisika for shitting on ground hunters

I wonder if helisika or their associates have a concession to run mountainbiking business in the kaimanawa forest park ?

Current established cash flows from aerial access there are:
Recreational hunters
Predator control
Sika foundation herd management

Its only going to affect the law abiding (sound familiar!!!)
The locals all know a dozen ways to get in there that's not along the sealed road.

Drove past the intake rd and large steel posts 40m from state h/way, nothing visible on kaimanawa rd

Access to the Urchin and Umukarikari tracks is also not on public roads.
