Freedom Camping - CLOSED from 23 February
Please note that from Sunday the 23rd February 2025 - the freedom camping area will be closed for approximately a week for us to carry out the resealing of the freedom camping carpark - sorry for any inconvenience. We will update this page once the work has been completed.
Public Motorcycle Tracks - OPEN
Tracks have been groomed and ready for action.
Tree Harvesting
Over the next couple of weeks contractors will be felling trees alongside Weld Road and Te Ara O Raho. From time to time they will need to use traffic control to allow the safe felling of some trees, so you will experience occasional delays when using those roads. Disruption will be kept to a minimum but please be patient.
