Council sees no need for park
The Nature Conservation Council considers that there is no reason for setting up an additional national park in the Red Mountain area of South Westland.
In its recent newsletter the; Council said that it supported the recommendations of the' Mount Aspiring National Park Board on extending the: area of the parks where they; affect areas of outstanding, natural beauty. The Council said that the I area of prospecting (in the! general area of the Olivines.; Red Hills and Little Red Hill Range) should be excluded (from the park until the extent and results of such activities is known. “The Council appreciates
|that this will take some! time.” ' "The land further to the! J west should be the subject [of a much fuller land use injventory survey, and also that around the Arawata and Cascade Rivers. If the opportunity arises, the best use of the : I areas served by the Jackson Jto Cascade road should be investigated by a proper and 1 qualified committee, irrespective of land status, and taking conservation as a prior- ; ity.”
