But there are some issues with regard to access that do need sorting out in NZ. For instance rivers/waterways are legal rights of passage. What happens, as happens frequently in the South Island, when rivers shift their course, leaving the 'legal' river in a different location to the actual river. Or what about the myriad of paper roads that exist in rural NZ, the exact boundaries of which are often unknown and unseparated from the rest of a farmers activities. It's 'grey' issues like this that can cause conflict, even when there's no dispute over property rights. Whether this task force is the best way to address those issues is another matter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
