Latest update: 15 November 2016
The Department of Conservation (DOC) is in the process of checking its huts, tracks and structures following Monday’s earthquake and subsequent aftershocks in North Canterbury. DOC staff are working to confirm that tracks and huts in the worst affected areas are safe to use but it will be some days until we have full information.
DOC staff are also assisting with the Civil Defence response to the earthquake in the South Marlborough and Kaikoura areas.
Kaikoura and South Marlborough
People are urged to stay away from all DOC managed tracks and conservation areas in South Marlborough and Kaikoura until further notice as we still have to assess damage.
