EZE director responds to DOC track toilet woes

Checkpoint - A podcast by RNZ - Mondays

Could the answer to clogged toilets and a lack of funding for popular hiking tracks be well a POO-R-CODE or a virtual honesty box? Earlier this week, DOC was forced to close the popular Mueller Hut Route on Aoraki Mount Cook to day trippers because the toilets were almost full. In a briefing to government, DOC 's repeatedly sounded the alarm over funding saying it cant afford to maintain its assets, visitor congestion's an issue and its time to consider more user charges. Some listeners told Checkpoint they had tried to leave a koha or donation for trail up keep, but there was no eazy way to do that. However, a local business could have the solution, EZE director Wayne Campbell speaks to Lisa Owen.
