Running an event in the Pakuratahi Forest
Both the Rimutaka Rail Trail and Tunnel Gully are very popular venues for events, including group picnics, school and club fun runs and/or walks, and mountain biking.
If you would like to run an event in the Pakuratahi Forest, please contact the park ranger to discuss your ideas and to obtain the relevant forms so that you can apply for a concession. Commercial activities require a full concession that is processed at GW's Wellington office. Most non-commercial activities require a streamlined concession that is processed by a park ranger. In most cases you also require a health and safety plan.
You should allow at least 15 working days for your application to be processed.
For more information about applying for a concession please contact the Concessions Officer at the Wellington office:
