I think it is important to understand that Waipakihi road is not necessarily a "PUBLIC" road as such. It is a road formed for public works. It is equally important to understand that it is not owned by Iwi. The two questions myself and others are endeavoring to clarify are -
- Do the public have a legal right to use as access.
- Do Iwi have the right to deny public access.
Clarification is needed and I have no doubt that it will be forthcoming.
