These tracks are either administered and maintained by the District Council, or by the Department of Conservation (DoC).
Tracks under repair
The Reotahi and Mount Aubrey tracks are closed indefinitely until repair of damage can be undertaken.
Some renewal work is being undertaken on other tracks. Please take care when you come across these areas.
