Your responsibilities
By taking your vehicle into St James Conservation Area, you agree to abide by the code of conduct to:
- Lock the gate after you have gone through.
- Only give the code to those registered under your name.
- Ensure your vehicle is free of any weeds before entering the area.
- Stay on the 4WD track and stop at the signs that mark the end of vehicle access.
- Not take your vehicle on the Waiau River bed, or cross the river with your vehicle.
- Decontaminate your vehicle at the last culvert before the top of Maling Pass to prevent the spread of didymo.
- Abide by the NZ Transport laws and regulations covering all vehicles and drivers (eg: your vehicles are warranted and registered, drivers are licensed).
Be aware that walkers, mountain bikers and horse riders will also be on the two 4WD tracks:
- Be prepared for the unexpected.
- Drive at a speed that enables you to stop if a hazard arises.
- Approach a blind corner no faster than walking speed as other users may be just around the corner.
- Give way to walkers, horses and mountain bikes.
- The general rule for vehicles is for downhill travelling vehicles to give way to uphill traffic.
