New public access signs available to farmers
Published 3 June 2011
Rural Women NZ members who allow public access across their property will soon be able to signpost contact details and access conditions for visitors, thanks to a partnership between Rural Women NZ and the New Zealand Walking Access Commission.
A joint project between the two organisations will provide public access signs for landowners to use to show access points, often along a fence. Conditions, such as 'no dogs', 'no guns' or 'closed during lambing' can be marked on the signs with waterproof pictorial stickers, and a contact phone number can be provided to prompt people to ask permission.
Rural Women NZ Executive Officer Noeline Holt said: “we are really excited to be able offer these signs free to all our members, we will certainly be encouraging everyone to make the most of this opportunity.â€
