Public right of access

Simon Kitson made this Official Information request to Auckland Council

Auckland Council did not have the information requested.

From: Simon Kitson

Dear Auckland Council,

In the UK there is a practice where if a footpath is used by the public for a certain length of time it becomes known as a public right of way and the landowners have to assure continued access of that land to the public.

Is there any such obligation in Auckland. I believe it might be called a right of access here and I was wondering if you could explain the rules of that to me. Thanks very much in advance.

Yours faithfully,

Simon Kitson
