The NZHGPA advocating on members behalf, has made both an association submission and united with 11 other Outdoor Recreation Groups to form a coalition urging the government to amend the health and safety laws to safeguard public access to New Zealand’s outdoors.
The submission was made in response to MBIE’s ongoing review of the country’s work health and safety regulatory system.
The coalition consists of;
Federated Mountain Clubs of New Zealand (FMC), Aotearoa Climbing Access Trust (ACAT), New Zealand Deerstalkers Association Inc (NZDA), New Zealand Game Animal Council (GAC), New Zealand Fish & Game Council (NZFGC), Mountain Bike New Zealand (MTBNZ), New Zealand Alpine Club (NZAC), New Zealand Canyoning Association (NZCA), New Zealand Speleological Society (NZSS), Cave Conservation and Access Trust (CCAT), New Zealand Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association (NZHGPA), and Te Araroa Trust
