I sent an email to Bryan Jensen, Waimak Area Manager for DoC, about Ranger Biv. I've no idea if can do any good but I'm not the sort of person to give up without trying.
Hello Bryan
I was concerned to see reports Ranger Biv was included in the list of facilities to be removed from the eastern AP area by end October.
I know I'd seen Ranger Biv inaccurately listed as 'derelict' on a department list, but I'd passed on my concerns about this at a couple of "usergroup" meetings.
Based on that I believed it's status would be reviewed and corrected in due course as it appeared be a simple clerical error (confusing Ranger with Waterfall perhaps).
Separate but related to that, I'm also aware a number of people interested in Ranger have been discussing the possibility of joining an inspection/maintenance agreement covering that biv, similar to agreements reached on the West Coast. This was in recognition that Ranger was not covered for maintaining in the recent ROR round.
Sadly people interested in Ranger had been bypassed by the club/DoC discussions during the ROR so any concerns were never heard.
Are you able to negotiate at your level or if not could you please advise at which level this could be discussed.
Cheers
Frank
