Used to trampoline all the way through there. It inspired my love of trapping and love of wilderness

People are part of nature and providing access adds value to these areas. With some limited water run-off maintenance and sharing the kaitiakitanga, e.g. working bees, people's presence may actual enhance the native species, biodiversity etc. There should certainly be a no dog policy and getting users involved with trapping invasive species could be a win-win.

Please do not restrict my access to the Silverpeaks. We are so lucky in Dunedin to have such easy access to the wide open spaces.

We should be promoting not ham-stringing the use of our local tracks!!

Access and water quality go hand in hand... Care for the land requires access by its people

We recently had a memorable 3 days tramping with our family. I have been telling people they need to do it! Very shocked by this proposal.

The DCC is incompetent

A popular recreation spot for runners, walkers and many others. This consultation has been inadequate in bringing to light these proposed plans and even the reasoning for these changes.

Unless it is actively being damaged and trashed which I hope it’s not. We should not have to apply for a permit

I've run around these parts for years, enjoying the interconnected nature of the many trails Dunedin has. Having to get a permit to run in certain areas would not only lead to confusion as to where people could run, but also kill the joy for runners being able to run whatever set of trails they picks that day. I've taken part in the 3 Peaks race 3 times myself and from those experiences see an know that that amazing race is important to me and the community. Dunedin has many awesome outside trails and activities and closing many of them off would remove this special thing that Dunedin has.

The 3 Peaks is a great event and great tracks for walking and jogging they should be open for the public at all times.

Why is a permit required anyway.? What argument does the Council have to be involved with this? Is it just another wrought where iwi are demanding money. Like the waitakere s etc.

As a DCC Rate Payer, I find this proposal abhorrent and a total overstep.

Why would you take this away? Are we not trying to give more people reasons to come to our city and are we not trying to promote a healthier city?
