Arthur’s Pass survey
Stafford Strategy have been engaged by DOC to develop a Development and Investment Framework for potential enhancements to Arthurs Pass National Park, which also incorporates the Arthur’s Pass Village, and the journey along State Highway 73 from Springfield to Otira.
FMC is actively looking into what the project will cover and who feedback is being sought from. In the meantime we welcome the community’s feedback on what is being proposed.
If you don’t undertake day walks or overnight tramps please just fill out the stakeholder survey. If you are a member of a tramping club etc., or just a regular or occasional tramper or day walker in Arthurs Pass National Park and/or the various tracks along sites on State Highway 73, please complete both surveys by 16th May 2020.

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.
