Moirs and Dills - October '24

Moirs and Dills are open again. Please refer to the site guide for access details.

Pakiri - February '24
Local Iwi have placed a rāhui on the beach. In light of how this rāhui is enforced it is recommended that anyone considering flying this site contact Tony Seaman for any update.
In the meantime the recommendation is that unless you are absolutely confident of top landing then do not launch, as Iwi consider all areas of beach and sand dunes currently out of bounds.

Muriwai NW (Otakamiro Pt) - January '25

Access permission has been regained from Auckland Council to use the NW Face launch site at Otakamiro Point, Muriwai. The originally proposed access track was unworkable, but a new path through flax was approved and cut with help from volunteers and ranger Wallis.

Council parks rangers remain cautious about public access due to the presence of nesting grey-faced petrels and another petrel species in the nearby forested valley. Human activity and dogs pose serious threats to these birds. The new access track avoids the sensitive area and is marked with blue tape. Users must strictly stay on this new path and not clear vegetation at its entrances to avoid drawing public attention.

Draft - Site Monitor role/responsibilities
Some time ago the discussion started within the Committee to define the 'Job Description' of a Site Monitor. The concept has always been there, but was never defined. This resulted in the drafting on the following document, setting out the expectations and framework around Site Monitors.
Current Site Monitors and all Members are welcome to comment on this draft.
