About us
Herenga ā Nuku Aotearoa, the Outdoor Access Commission, is the Crown agency protecting and enhancing public access to the outdoors for everyone in New Zealand — walkers, mountain bikers, anglers, horse riders, landholders, trail runners and more.
Herenga ā Nuku has a small team in Wellington and a network of regional field advisors. It is governed by an independent board.
For more information about the functions of Herenga ā Nuku, please consult the Walking Access Act 2008.
