no unlikely they would get involved

this from GAC

What we do
The Game Animal Council is a statutory entity established under the Game Animal Council Act 2013. We provide expert advice to the Minister of Conservation on game animals, are a source of information and education to the hunting sector and take a science-based approach to everything we do. We promote hunter safety, enhanced public access, hunter-led conservation and seek to improve both recreational and commercial hunting opportunities

so access clearly in their professed portfolio so whats happened ???

Fair enough. If that’s what it says I can’t think of an example where the GAC have interceded on access.
