Tenure Review of the Poplars Station in the Lewis Pass

Postby PeterVahry » Mon Dec 22, 2014 2:33 pm

After various submissions by PANZ etc. all the unformed legal roads (ULR’s) bisecting the Poplars Station have now all been properly surveyed and pegged, giving the public their rightful access to this outstanding landscape, fishing, hunting, horse riding etc. All the Section 24 Marginal Strips have also been marked on the new title documents as well.
The public now has direct access from State Highway 7 to the Hope Riverbed by the cattle yards; this access did not exist before Tenure Review.

Nice, Is there a updated map available that shows where the ULRs are/go?, I would be interested in having a look through this area by 4wd in the next month if possible.
thanks for the update Peter

You shouldn't need an updated map, as the survey should have essentially followed the existing boundaries as shown on maps such as those of Walking Access. There may be some 'on ground' variation, but that's why the pegging has been done.

To a large degree it has been the 'horse' enthusiasts who have spearheaded this PANZ project to get LINZ to recognise the value of ULR to the public, rather than the past attitude of minimising access. Please respect all users so we can demonstrate that there is room for all on our public lands.
