Mt Kaukau

This page is all about future plans for Mt Kaukau from Stu Bailey at the Wellington City Council.

Horse Riding along the main ridge will be allowed subject to appropriate conditions.
Vehicle access will be confined to management purposes, unless there are exceptional reasons.
Key entrance areas will provide access to the outer green belt, but are also important as community recreation areas for playing, picnicking and other activities.

Complete and adopt the Old Coach Road Conservation plan (confine content to the management of the heritage values, rather than the wider landscape)
Old Coach Road to be developed and enhanced as a major access point to the outer green belt.
There will be a clearly defined walking access to Mt Kaukau.
Consider closing Old Coach Road (as a legal road, except for any section needed for actual roading purposes and protecting it as a category one historic road.)

Clearly defined areas to be grazed and new fencing required to achieve this.
Create a relatively remote part of the outer green belt to provide outstanding views of the city.
Protect the ridgeline vegetation south of Kaukau from Darwin's Barberry.
