Seriously, there's precious little left of capability with our NZDF at the mo. I assume DoC are attempting to get another Govt dept to pay for what is considered their role, in maintaining access into Public lands.

Depts are good at dodging. The suburb we are in has a dead end paper road that goes nowhere...so the developer connected a walkway to the other end so it could become a loop. He then offered to plant it out as a tree / bird lane ot disimilar to a residential park...Coucil dept in charge of the paper road administration said 'Easy, thats good, we can transfer it over to parks for them to look after" Parks replied "No way...we dont need more work..." so it stayed a paperroad albeit a loop of sorts now....so no one mows it (apart from the neighbouring farmer if it gets long enough to bale...) And the coucil has done it once when they were advised it had becomea fire hazard to the neighbouring properties......No one wanted to look after it so while they could have had free landscaping and planting of trees, they missed ut and have simply got a long narow public access paddock
