Posted 30th January 2019 to the Otago Daily Times Newspaper Dunedin NZ.
Peter Wilson’s response to the over enthusiasm about Mount Titiroa in Fiordland National Park
exposed the problem with the Heath Robinson way the Department of Conservation has been set up.
The lack of local decision making is dreadful especially for local staff, common sense has flown out the window
and the whole consultation process has tied itself in knots. Quite frankly it is a neglected tangled system that need a razor gang to cut through it all just to get to basic transparency.
There are no figures on the actual numbers of Visitors to Mount Titiroa. Local guiding agents say the numbers are minimal especially if you compare them to landings on Mount Tutoko near Milford Sound.
Something else is at play here and we are all being kept in the dark as usual.
