The section of Ōtaki Gorge Road known as Blue Bluff remains unstable and is likely to remain closed for the peak summer period.
As well as a camping ground, it is also a major entrance point for trampers and hunters accessing the Tararua Forest Park.
The slip, 12km in from SH1, is a major one. Kāpiti Coast District Council Access and Transport Manager Glen O’Connor says expert geotechnical advice is that further slipping could occur at any time, and may be extensive.
Engineers are waiting for the slip to move before deciding what the best long term solution is.
The Department of Conservation is working to find alternative public access to the huts and walks in the forest park and is expected to have options for trampers by summers.
You truly can achieve anything. If you want something bad enough, there’s nothing to stop you from achieving it.

From November 2-15, Bird of the Year Te Manu Rongonui o Te Tau 2020 is back showcasing our native birds and encouraging Kiwis to vote for their favourite feathered friend.
This year the Wellington City Council is backing the hihi (also known as the stitchbird).
The total population of the hihi is unlikely to exceed 2000 birds.
Wellington's Zealandia is thought now to have the largest mainland population.
Wellington sports teams The Pulse and The Phoenix are also supporting the hihi – the bird that sports their team colours.
What is your favourite bird?

It really offers a lot of hope for folks who might be looking at the property market and wondering what on earth is happening out there these days.
Courtney and Ben were tenacious and bold, and now they're living happily in their Hawke's Bay home.
Have a read and see how they did it, and while you're at it have a listen to our third episode of First Rung, the podcast for first home buyers for a little more inspiration.

The reason? She’s a girl. Aayla Toman, 13, has been told she’s not allowed to play in the u13 boys’ grade in Wellington’s Pacific Youth Cup because of her gender – something that led her club team, the u13 Petone Panthers, to play her ‘illegally’ all season.
New Zealand Rugby League rules state the maximum age for males and females to play in mixed gender full contact rugby league is 12 years of age.

After a long-term driver shortage and chaotic changes to the bus network, Metlink is promising that a new review of routes will set things straight.
Several extra services will be added to meet rush-hour demand, and several routes extended to run directly from outer suburbs to the centre city, starting from October 25.
The changes will remove some of the most unpopular aspects of the 2018 ‘Bustrastrophe’ network fiasco, particularly the need to make multiple transfers across different services.

Last year, an animal at the Zoo died and it is believed to be the result of distress caused by fireworks.
Under the Wellington City Council Public Places Bylaw it is an offence to “discharge a firework in a public place” and this includes the Town Belt and Melrose Park which backs onto the Zoo.
Park Rangers will on patrol during Guy Fawkes night, however you can help even further by respecting this bylaw and encouraging your neighbours to do the same.
What kinds of dogs and how many of each kind does Troy have? Leave your answer in the comments below!
We saw some friendly ghosts and even some costumed pooches this year! We'd love for you to spread the joy further than your backyard by sharing a snap from your Halloween festivities below 🎃
