PHOTO: SUPPLIED – The walking and mountain bike track on the eastern face of the peak, on land adjacent to Craggy Range Winery, was deemed to have “no more than minor” environmental effects by Hastings District Council.
A controversial track cut into the face of Te Mata Peak in Hawke’s Bay will be removed by the company that built it, Craggy Range Winery.
“Following discussions with Mana Whenua and other concerned groups this week, Craggy Range Winery has decided the best resolution to the concerns surrounding its new walking track on Te Mata Peak’s eastern slopes is to remove the track, restore the land and return it to the previous owner,” the company said in a statement on Saturday.
