It would seem that to erect a gate on the road, would in fact be erecting a gate on land owned by the Crown, so essentially would need to approval of the Crown agency that holds responsibility over the land taken through the Public Works Act (PWC) in 1968. Interestingly section 48 of the PWC allows for the Crown to grant an easement over the land for access at their discretion, this could be an avenue to to pursue if needed.
I would have thought a gate on the Waipakahi Road would not be the best security for a helicopter base, a fence around the said facility would be more appropriate I would have thought?
