HEAPHY ROAD OPPOSITION
The Organisation to Preserve the Heaphy Track is up and running again, ever since the recent Ministry of Works and Development decision to reassess the feasibility of a road through the track. The last time pressure was put on the Government was in the early and mid-70s; a big difference between then and now is the change of heart by locals to the prospect of a road. It’s estimated by long-term Karamea residents that about 60 percent of local people would be opposed to the idea of a road through this magnificent area of native bush.
Contact for the organisation is: Secretary/treasurer, Colin Fussell, 505 Harwood Rd, Christchurch 5. The spokesperson is Neil Fitzgerald.
