Until late 2021 Lyttelton Port Company (LPC) will be quarrying Gollans Bay Quarry to the south of the track. This will include blasting and the use of large machinery. Please keep to the Council track, obey all signage and do not cross the fence into the quarry.

During blasting activities, the track may need to be closed for 10 to 15 minutes. Staff will be stationed at the track entry to provide information and ensure you do not enter the area.
