Abstract
In December 2010 the Department of Conservation carried out a partial review of the Kahurangi National Park Management Plan. This allowed for a three year trial of mountain biking on the Heaphy Track (on a seasonal basis between 1 May and 30 September), the Kill Devil Track and the Flora Saddle to Barron Flat Track (all year round) in the Upper Takaka Valley.
This three part report published in September 2013 supports mountain biking continuing on the Heaphy and the other two tracks. These recommendations are supported by a resource document providing relevent statistics, visitor numbers and background information.
