Please don’t let greed be the dominating factor of a decision that will devastate the fantastic tussock landscape of the Mackenzie country.

We owe it to future generations to preserve this incredibly beautiful part of New Zealand.

Stop this madness!

The lakesides need to be preserved for everyone to enjoy, rather than by a few house and lifestyle block owners. We all know the Lake shores in Europe have been sudivided and privatised to the exclusion of the general public access. This is the inevitable outcome if the Tenure Review goes ahead as planned for these areas.
The TUSSOCK land to the right of the main road going south from the Tekapo Army Camp belonging to the Wolds and Maryburn Stations is our historic heritage and needs to be preserved.

Comment on Mackenzie Country Symposium/ love,love me do by Mackenzie Runholder

Unfortunately proposed intensive farming will make selective areas green but stress the neighbouring areas with even more weeds and loss of habitat for endangered plants and birds. More water for dairying as proposed by Richard Peacock at the Mackenzie Symposium will result in long term environmental effects in this fragile ecosystem that taxpayers will have to pay for when weeds( this has happened in the central North Island lakes), as a result of nitrogen enrichment in our waterways, affect our hydroelectricity generationl. There are no easy solutions to these issues.

The Speight add and many other views are spectacular but a closer look shows this landscape is the result of 150 years of degradation by outdated extensive farming methods. Wilding pines (and other trees), rabbits, lupins, wallabies and hawkweed are what will take over without a huge change in management. I would prefer to see viable farm enterprise which has the potential to rebuild the soils that once supported real tussock lands.
