Change of Doc land to local iwi

ree

Just Yesterday Govt announced they are returning DOC land back to the local iwi

This now becomes private land

Where do we stand as a group when it comes to using it ?

If the local iwi allow clothed people to walk the say the likes of the Abel Tasman but doesn’t allow naturists to

Do we have a leg to stand on

We have been lucky to enjoy DOC tracks for a number of years

Is this all bout to change for HN?
