What has really surprised me is the ambivalence DOC, the Access Commission, Tramping Federation/Fed Mountain Clubs, Taupo Council and NZDA etc have shown towards the situation. I've pretty much talked to and raised it with every outdoors organisation I have contacts with and the answer has been the same. "We are watching the situation, we are concerned, there is other access, there is nothing we can do" ...

Has anyone got an update on if anything positive is happening to get the situation resolved?

Yes, Ive also contacted FMC, NZDA and te herenga (walking access) and got the same response from each: “Lets see how it plays out .”
