RAPAKI TRACK
Support For Maori View j The Mount Herbert County Council on Friday changed its mind on the extension of I the protection zone of the Summit Road Protection Act and decided that it opposed any restrictions being applied to land in the county. Last month the council had agreed to protection extending on the Rapaki Track as far as the rocky bluff on the Rapaki side, said the chairman (Mr E. R. Radcliffe). Since then he had attended a meeting of the Rapaki rutnnga, and after hearing the Maori viewpoint, as reported in “The Press” on Tuesday, now believed that Maori opposition to control was soundly based. “They want no more restrictions on their own land and feel they can adequately control it,” he said. “I told I them that if, in future, they J wanted the form of protection proposed, they could ask I for it” I The council decided to conivey its views to the Christchurch Regional Planning i Authority’s Summit Road advisory committee.
