Dear Leigh Romanos,
Thank you for the information.
The answer to question 2 looks extraordinary large. Would you please confirm that DOC have indeed closed one hundred and four thousand two hundred and fifty three km of track due to kauri dieback. This must be a very large proportion of your total track network.
Yours sincerely,
t Austen
