Waitākere and Hunua Ranges – Under Controlled Area Notices

Ministry for Primary Industries

To help stop the spread of Kauri dieback there is now a Controlled Area Notice in place on currently open tracks of the Waitākere Ranges. A Controlled Area Notice also applies to areas (not just tracks) of the Hunua Ranges. Theses notices have been declared under Section 131 of the Biosecurity Act 1993.

Visitors into the Waitākere and Hunua Ranges have to scrub all visible soil from footwear and equipment and use all cleaning stations along the tracks as per instructions.

*Note, tracks may be under video surveillance.
