Agreement reached for Hukarere Station tenure review
In September 2021, Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) announced that a tenure review agreement has been reached for Otago high country pastoral lease Hukarere Station. The 7,177ha high country station extends from the Black Umbrella Range to the Pomahaka River.
Under the agreement, on disposal, 1,648 hectares will become conservation land, including parts of the Black Umbrella Range summit ridge, Leithen Burn and Parasol Creek headwaters, and Pomahaka River tributaries. The remaining 5,529 hectares of the lease will be freeholded, with 394 hectares subject to conservation covenants.
The tenure review’s designations plan and summary of substantive proposal are available here.
FMC had submitted on the proposal in 2014. A copy of the FMC submission is available here.
