The New Zealand Walking Access Commission
Our vision: Journeys across the land and to our special places | Te mauri o te hīkoi
We build a legacy of public access to the outdoors for everyone in New Zealand. Communities work with us to create and care for tracks and trails. We resolve disputes about outdoor access. Our focus is the land and the people who live, work and play on it - walkers, mountain bikers, anglers, horse riders, landholders, runners and beyond.
