Notice of indefinite closure of Sunshine Track, Taumarunui

There has been a significant tree fall on the Sunshine Track approx. 100m from the start of the track. This has blocked the track and demolished the footbridge making further passage up the track dangerous.

Council considers this a serious Health and Safety risk and has taken the unusual measure of installing security fencing at the start of the track to discourage walkers.

Please respect the security fencing - it is there to protect you, your family and the wider community - while Council explores options for making the track safe again.
