Former senior DOC ranger Chris Stewart, left, and local resident and motelier Peter Neale want the centre saved. Motelier Peter Neale said the iconic building was well-loved, and locals were told by DOC the cost to repair and strengthen it would be about $3 million, much less than a new building. The centre was “a real focal point” for visitors passing through, he said. “I think it was the third most visited [national park centre] in the country pre-Covid, behind Aoraki and Punakaiki.” Adults and children alike enjoyed the displays, which featured a model showing the terrain of the park, Richard Seddon’s stagecoach, and displays on everything from history and weather, to birds and pounamu, he said.

Nest cams on the Ashley River bed captured four wheel drive vehicles and motorbikes driving through the colony last week, with the Canterbury Regional Council reporting that 10 birds were killed.
The native birds are protected and classed as a critically endangered species.

DOC North Canterbury operations manager Kingsley Timpson said rangers are making good progress to find those responsible. We are progressing quite satisfactorily in terms of trying to reach a solution with locating these people, and having a conversation with them to determine exactly what went on, Timpson said.
