Kia Ora, Welcome
Recreational access to our lakes, beaches, rivers, and mountains is an important part of what it is to be a New Zealander. The New Zealand Walking Access Commission is the Crown entity that works to enhance free, certain, enduring, and practical walking access to the outdoors for New Zealanders and overseas visitors. The Commission has a small team in Wellington and a network of regional field advisors. A copy of our legislation, the Walking Access Act 2008, is available here.
