TECT Park

16/06/2026

Good morning (?)
We've been reviewing some of the damage still remaining in the Park after January's weather event. Unfortunately there a couple of areas that we feel are still active, so we'll be doing some earthworks to stabilise them over the next couple of weeks.
Julian will be working on the track through the gorge to the north-west corner of the Park (from the MTB car park to the north-west trailhead) for the next two weeks, reprofiling the banks above the track. This means that the track (and as a result the horse & MTB trails on that side of the Park) will be closed on weekdays until at least next Friday 26th June.

Someone left their water buckets at the Equestrian Hub. They are at the Ranger Station if you want them.

Well, the inevitable has happened and Tropical Cyclone Vaianu has brought down trees across Weld Road. It looks like it may take us a while to clear them.
For the moment the main entrance is closed and access into TECT Park is likely to be affected until at least mid-week
