The first 1 km of that land parcel commonly known as Waipakahi rd is indeed in the Tongariro National Park. That's why the bollards and gate are 1 km in off the state highway. All private businesses that conduct money making activities on or through the Public Estate managed my DoC are required to obtain a concession from DoC.

Well there you go. There is a point of leverage if ever I have seen one: Manage public access along what is commonly known as Waipakahi road, or you don't obtain a concession to drive through the Tongariro National Park to run your private money making business. You'll have to fly clients and staff in and out of your base in there.

But in this day and age....yeah nah
