The Milford Sound Opportunities Project was established in 2017 to create a masterplan for Milford Sound Piopiotahi - which before Covid attracted almost one million visitors a year - as well as the Milford corridor and the region surrounding it.
After several years its masterplan will be released next month, aimed at ensuring Milford Sound Piopiotahi, an Unesco World Heritage site, does not return to its pre-Covid state. It also aims to protect Fiordland National Park.
