Re-opening of Rochfort Station Road suggested for logging trucks
Re-opening Ohakune' s Rochfort Station Road as a heavy traffic by-pass should be an urgent agenda item of the W aimarino Community Board, according to chairman Colin Webb. Mr Webb, speaking to members at their | monthly meeting, said the board should | consider the feasibility of re-opening the | 0.5km stretch of road (behind the Carrot) | in preparation for the imminent logging of 1 the Waimarino Forest, located on Pipiriki Ri ver Road. Logging could start as early as
Christmas he said, and at lts peak some 30 trucks will be following the route through Ohakune to Tangiwai and Karioi for processing. Member John Compton told the meeting that Rochfort Station Rd, used primarily as a through road, was closed on a recommendation by the Ministry of Transport in the days of the Waimarino District Council. The board agreed to obtain more information and come back to their next meeting before making a recommendation.
