The Department of Conservation (DoC) wants public feedback on Pure Tūroa Limited’s application for a concession to operate the Tūroa ski area on Mt Ruapehu.
The company’s application comes after Ruapehu Alpine Lifts Limited (RAL) entered liquidation earlier this year.
Deputy director-general of policy and regulatory services Ruth Isaac said the information received through the public notification period would be considered as part of the application process.
“DoC is required to run a robust and transparent concession process when it receives an application to use public conservation land for commercial purposes,” Issac said.
“Ensuring commercial activity on conservation land is carried out in a way that protects wildlife and landscape as much as possible is vital.”
