Tasman District Council road advice near Murchison

Buller River Murchison


Tasman District Council on the 11 February has advised through Antenno that there is still a problem with the roads near and around Murchison due to the rain during the past days. 


Murchison is known as the 'whitewater capital' of the country, because there are rivers everywhere – the Gowan, Mangles, Matiri, Glenroy, Matakitaki, Maruia and the mighty Buller. 


For anybody into canoeing or kayaking, it's a dream come true with the region offering some of the best all-grades options in New Zealand.


But if you are travelling


Take care on these ROADS:


Rappahannock Road - 4wd access only. 


Pointons road - 4wd access only. 


Maruia west bank – 4wd access only. 


Matakitaki west bank has had major slips on it and is closed. Road is ok for normal use up to closure just past Johnsons creek. 


Matakitaki east – open but drive with care. 


Glenroy Road – 4wd access only.


Matiri has had water damage across the sealed are - open but drive with care. 


Brooks road has flood damage - open but drive with care.
