So now the question is, will the current owner follow the PWA and offer back to the owner off whom the land was taken, which is DOC as the land appears to have been part of the adjoining National Park when it was taken for "Electricity development". I have put this question to Outdoor Access Commission and are awaiting their reply. To offer the land to anyone other than DOC in the first instance would be ignoring the requirements of the PWA, and if DOC have acquiesced and let it go then DOC is not fulfilling their own obligations under the Conservation Act, and some serious questions of them need asking.
