Pakuratahi Forest news
Felling of a section of the forest continues, but due to the nature of the process we’ll be delaying the weekday re-opening of Tunnel Drive (from Maymorn Gate through to the other side of the tunnel) for a few weeks. This is to allow for work continuing either side of the Drive, meaning it’s not yet safe for public access.
Health and safety is our number one concern so until work moves away from this area it will have to remain closed on weekdays. You can still access the area on weekends.
We’ll keep you updated through social media, and will announce the weekday reopening of Tunnel Drive on our website.

Poll: Have you ever had a scary flight?
A plane flying from Christchurch to Wellington on Sunday had smoke billowing out of the engine and upon landing, passengers had to open the emergency exit and jump out. Have you had any scary flying experiences?
