It’s clearly not a done deal otherwise the gate would be locked. Knowing how quickly government doesn’t work (including LINZ) hopefully it’s dragged out until late next year when Louise Upston becomes a cabinet minister!!

Has anyone had feedback from her?

She has the info from several people but nothing substantial has come back as far as I know.

Her electorate secretary says she is 'working behind the scenes", and to give it time.

Which may or may not be the case, time will tell. I do know that this thread is on a handful of radars, and keeping it current is important.

It is very handy that it hasn't slipped into a bash fest on the trust - like everyone they are free to make their decisions, and to live with the consequences (good or otherwise) of those decisions.

I recall driving into the lower Waipakihi back in the early 1970s for a 3 day hunt..there was a gate (open) on an access bridge, but no sign. Three days later, when we started to drive out, the gate was locked. Luckily, I carried a hacksaw.

Haven't we already identified that the access roads are public land and therefore we are all owners?

Yeah but we aren't owners of the Rangipo North blocks on either side - and apparently they will soon be the owners of the land the road is on too. But it's good to see the future owners are discussing the issue, hopefully things come to an agreement that makes everyone happy (except the dickheads who have been dumping rubbish etc)

Perhaps these discussions should have happened earlier.
Consultation with all users too in the public domain as well.

Net profit $221.9m vs $33.5m previous year. That's vulgar.

They should be good for a few bob to look after those three roads.

And here is the commercial venture website

Kaimanawa Alpine Adventures – Just another WordPress site

This explains a lot. Always wondered why there was a digger in the tops for so long

Hopefully high res enough

That'll make for a nice interlude if you're getting a bit fed up with the peace and quiet on the Tongariro Crossing
I can't wait to never spend any money with this venture.
