Consultation draft: South Island High Country Access Report

The New Zealand Walking Access Commission has produced a draft report for consultation on public access to the outdoors in and around the South Island High Country. We’re now seeking views from the public on this consultation draft – are there issues we’ve missed? What are the opportunities for the region? How can we work together on solutions?

To prepare the report, Commission staff held in-depth discussions with 55 people, including landholders and farmers; central and local government staff; recreationalists; community groups building, maintaining and using tracks and trails; tourism operators and agencies, and others.
