Thread: Kaimanawa Forest Park

The project seeking PGF funding is a construction project being undertaken by Kaimanawa 3B2A and 3B2B Ahu Whenua Trust in partnership with Lake Rotoaira Forest Trust to enable the two respective Trusts to operate a tourism venture. Kaimanawa 3B2A and 3B2B Ahu Whenua Trust was established to administer two Māori freehold land blocks (Kaimanawa 3B2A and Kaimanawa 3B2B), the land where the proposed tourism development is to take place. Lake Rotoaira Forest Trust administers Rangipo North 7C which is a freehold land block adjacent to SH1 (the Desert Road). The project is to construct a mountain bike and walking track that can only be accessed via helicopter (heli-biking and heli-hiking). PGF support is also required to construct associated infrastructure required to operate a venture of this kind. Following the completion of this project, Kaimanawa 3B2A and 3B2B Trust and Lake Rotoaira Forest Trust will operate the venture under the name ‘Kaimanawa Alpine Adventures’. The operation of Kaimanawa Alpine Adventures will be contracted to Helisika Ltd, an experienced third party that has extensive knowledge of the local tourism sector.

So if they dont intend on using Waipakahi road at all for access, why the fk close it!!

The more information I have found about his the more the parties that claimed they had no idea were in fact "Balls Deep" in this. Taupō District Council were well aware and supported it. Same to Bike Taupō (council), destination Taupo and Enterprise Taupō.

Taupo Mayor Trewavas claimed he knew nothing of it and that there had been nil consultation as at last month (July).
So where is your info from ?

I don't know if this has already been shared. I assume its the same venture but 2020 dated??

Makes mention of the specific supporters and who is responsible for which tasks in the relationship eg mtb track construction

Yes that is the document I was looking at. 13 Pages, unfortunately some is redacted.
I wonder if an OIA on this is worthwhile??

This appears to have gone quiet has anybody had updates?.

Been taken up by NZDA and related groups. Ask them.

Very quiet , usually not a good sign. Status really needs to be clear & visible, together with the position of local councillors before the LB elections

Had Cam Speedy at our NZDA meeting the other night he was adamant that the road was Maori land.

Gates were open two weeks ago.
I'm guessing the land hadn't been transferred to private ownership yet.

Cam Speedy is wrong. I have an email from the Maori Land Court that very clearly states the land belongs to the Crown.
People can believe what they want, but the facts are the facts.

How long ago was the email written, Ross Nolan?

About page 26 of this discussion.

So quite recently.

If you go onto woke websites like Wikipedia or our own Govt websites you will see our history is being quietly rewritten as we speak...

As to ownership of the road that goes over this easement, technically it belongs to the Crown (local government) since this easement is owned by the Crown and what is on it belongs to the Crown.

Excerpt from email dated 1/8/2022

Recent and/or clear enough?
