The Makara Walkway
has been closed by the Department of Conservation after
sections of the track were damaged by heavy rain this
week.
The track, which begins and ends at Makara Beach, 16
km north of Wellington, will remain closed until further
notice, DOC Poneke area manager Peter Simpson
said.
“Parts of the track have been washed away and it
is unsafe to use.”
DOC staff were assessing the damage
today and determining what remedial work is required.
