From the Meeting of 21st October 2013 in Te Anau
In Breif, the Trust is waiting for the Department of Conservation to regoup after thier traumatic reshuffle
and get an agreement sorted to start construction of an upgraded trail from Rainbow Reach Bridge to Manapouri Township or redefine the Existing Walking Trail from Te Anau to the Golf Course as a Multi Purpose Cycle Trail.
The Trust has also made a provision for Associate Members to be invited to join the trust from the Community, So if any one wants to donate time, equiptment, skills or Money they are welcome to come on board.
The Local elections have returned Community Board Members who are in favour the Manapouri Te Anau Cycle Trail project and the New Mayor has been breifed.
The big Headache with the District Council is that they are dedicated to a finacial Blowout on the Ill-fated 'Round the Mountain Cycle way that will cost more than 6 times more than the Manapouri Te Anau Trail just to get the last section finnished.
It was also noted at the Meeting that Venture Southland is no longer the Dynamic Orgainisation it once was probably due to financial fatigue, I Figure in part from too many over budget grand Ideas like Round the Mountain.
