Fiordland Advocate - Te Anau Cycle Trail Action

Posted 31st of May 2014 to the Fiordland Advocate Te Anau NZ



Thank you Fiordland Advocate for Writing about the Struggle we have had in the Fiordland Trails Trust with the Department of Conservation..
It’s not really clear cut what goes on in DOC they are a bit of a dysfunctional Family at times many of them are Wonderful People, some are racked with Paranoia,
some are just too overworked trying to keep the system going, they are a big old Family and they try and lookout for each other... But they are living under a tight budget and there are no performance incentives, in-fact the opposite is observed to be true. Some Cheeky People even compare the Department to the NZ Railways of old.
However that is not their fault, it is something inflicted on them from above, handed down from Wellington.

As for getting community projects done in Fiordland, it is to Wellington we must complain as they just set a new decree that they want more Community joint ventures with the Department. Nick Smith is the Guy we need to make friends with. He just stopped Queenstown from expanding into Fiordland so maybe he hopes Te Anau can do a few tricks of it’s own.
