Welcome

Nau mai haere mai,

Welcome to our website 



The Trustees are pleased to announce that Access to Lake Rotoaira Forest Trust is opening at 4pm – Friday, 18 August 2023. We thank you for your patience over this challenging time and appreciate the understanding from everyone that our Health and Safety obligations to owners has always been paramount in our decision making.

Please be aware of the following:

  • There are areas that have been impacted upon by the Cyclone which we have not yet been rectified
  • There may be areas that still have trees “hung up” or trees on the ground that are under stress – we ask owners to be vigilant in selecting where they go and where they park vehicles
  • Owners need to stay clear of the obvious areas that harvesting needs to be carried out over the summer period as these areas are hugely dangerous
  • Normal conditions on access permits still exist and the priority for trustees is to reopen access as soon as safely possible.

Owners are reminded that all conditions for access permits exist as per “Pre-Cyclone” but extra care is needed accessing the forest as there are more hazards than normal

A reminder that the opening hours are:

4pm – 8pm week nights, and

7am – 8pm weekends and public holidays
