"They are the best entity to make the findings."
The trust, made up of seven voluntary board members, is responsible for park administration of Te Mata Peak, Mr Bate said.
"We're responsible for the administration of the parks and consistent with that we arrange for work to be done on tracks...that's just part of the business of running the park."
Recent administration of the park saw new mountain biking tracks built by Southstar Trails in a joint project between the Hawkes' Bay Regional Council and the Hastings District Council.
Mr Bate said the new mountain bike tracks were "expertly" built last year.
"Part of the reason for developing purpose-built mountain bike tracks has been to make walking and mountain biking safer by separating walkers and mountain bikers. There are signs and barriers installed to achieve that," Mr Bate said.
Mr Warren fell from an area that had both a walking track and a mountain biking track.
Mr Bate had stated he did not think the track was a factor in the incident, however he made clear that it was still unknown what track Mr Warren had been biking on.
"With these variables it becomes difficult to make any helpful comments and my view is that it's [only] appropriate to comment on factors to an accident if we know where, and to some extent how, the accident has occurred," he said.
Prominent local business owner Rod Drury, who donated a digger that had been used to build some of the new mountain bike tracks, said the mountain biking community was awaiting further information about the circumstances surrounding the tragedy.
"We were surprised to hear that someone had died. We don't know what happened and our thoughts go out to the family," he said.
"It's really rocked the community."
