FIXING TE MATA PEAK'S CONTENTIOUS TRACK COULD COST $1MChanging a controversial track up Te Mata Peak could cost up to $1 million in consultancy and landscaping fees, Hastings District Council says. The costs for altering the track, which was created by Craggy Range winery last year, were released to a member of the public under the Official Information Act. They show consultants helping the council decide what to do with the walking track could be paid $500,000 in fees for "technical reports, development option reports and consultation." "This is an unbudgeted expense," the council said. It could cost $200,000 to remove the zig-zagging Craggy Range track - which has been described by local iwi as a "scar" - in its entirety. A further $280,000 to $300,000 would be needed to create a new summit track as proposed by the winery and iwi, after they struck a deal earlier this year..... www.radionz.co.nz/news/national/369343/fixing-te-mata-peak-s-contentious-track-could-cost-1m
