Concerns raised over new high country sale

The latest battleground over public access to Conservation land is a high-country sheep and beef farm near Arthur's Pass. The Overseas Investment Office has approved the sale of Mt White Station to a New Zealand resident of Czech whakapapa. The property includes almost one thousand hectares, known as Riversdale Flats, which were originally meant to be set aside for inclusion in a national park. Earlier Forest and Bird spokesperson Jen Miller says we've lost an opportunity to save a very rare environment. Jerome Sheppard is Land Information NZ's deputy chief executive of Crown property.
