Marie Black: Hurunui Mayor says the addition of a Great Walk would be a boost to local economies

The National Party is promising to build a new “Great Walk” as part of its new tourism policy.   It's planed an $14m upgrade the 80km Waiau-Toa/Molesworth walking track in Canterbury, creating the 11th Great Walk.  Hurunui Mayor Marie Black told Tim Dower that having a track of this distinction in their district would be a significant boost for the local and regional economies.   She said that the district would embrace something of this nature, and it could bring in the big spenders.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
