OceanaGold | Waihi North Project | Recreation and tourism assessment 29 The Strava heatmaps show an access route to the west of the GOP area on private land, crossing the OGNZL conveyor and meandering north-east across farmland and adjacent to the proposed NRS. This is the route of The Full and Half Nugget annual multisport events which operate between Waihi Beach and Waihi.17 Figure 20 shows the event route map for the final stage near Waihi. A 10km loop run, part of The Nugget Multisport Festival circuits the Martha Pit and the Ngāti Koi domain via the western side of Winner Hill on OGNZL land. The Blackhill Motorcross Club course is located on the north-eastern corner of Ngāti Koi Domain, with vehicle access across OGNZL land (the course is visible in Figure 19). The Club issues to members keys to the locked gate to the course, and the keys expire annually.18 There are no formal agreements in place between OGNZL and the Black Hill Mountain Biking Trails or the Blackhill Motorcross Club allowing access across private land. All developments on OGNZL land have occurred via casual agreements with no security of tenure or access. 17 https://thenugget.co.nz/ 18 https://blackhillmx.co.nz/ Figure 16: Strava heatmap – cycling. 12 months of data to July 2021 GOP TSF3 NRS Figure 17: Strava heatmap – running. 12 months of data to July 2021 GOP TSF3 NRS
