Calling Central Otago
The Federated Mountain Clubs Executive is in Arrowtown on Sunday the 21st of February and would like to invite anyone within cooee to come and join us for a beer at the Fork and Tap. We willl be there from early evening, but will find somewhere quiet for a group discussion around 7.30pm.
In particular, we are interested in discussing the idea of setting up a Central Otago group dedicated to the restoration of High-Country Huts, and anyone with a passion for this please come along. FMC is also involved in a number of issues around the area such as public access, national park management and recreation planning so if you want to bend someone’s ear… all welcome!

We’re excited to share the new FMC Executive Committee, taking office on June 1 2026.
For over ten years, FMC has been involved in efforts to protect the Waitaha River. FMC made its first submission opposing the scheme in 2016, celebrated it being declined in 2019, and has spent the past 12 months fighting for a voice through the Fast-Track process. Throughout it all, FMC has been advocating for the Waitaha, publicly and behind the scenes.
FMC has submitted on a proposed land exchange that would see 29.7 hectares of conservation land in the eastern Ruahine Forest Park swapped for 170 hectares of private land, to enable the construction of a dam and reservoir on the Makaroro River.
