Waka Kotahi NZTA map showing road closures cutting off Nelson, at 11.20am on Sunday. ”Contractors are aiming to re-open SH1 by midday and we expect to re-open a route through to Nelson by the end of the day via SH6 and SH65. We are also assessing flood damage on SH7 north of Hanmer this morning which completes this critical link.” The damage was still being assessed, and it was too early to say when other roads would be reopened, she said.

Eugenie Sage, then minister of conservation, at the East Matakitaki Hut in Nelson Lakes National Park. (First published in September 2020) Across in the Rainbow Conservation Area, near the Upper Wairau River, both Lees Creek and Begley huts have also been refurbished. The work has been made possible by a $2 million expansion of the Backcountry Trust programme to repair and maintain remote huts as part of the Government’s $1.3 billion Jobs for Nature fund. Department of Conservation Nelson Lakes operations manager John Wotherspoon said he was “really chuffed” with the amount of work the crew had been able to get done.
