Gibbston Trail closed for upgrade

Gibbston Trail closed for upgrade


The walking trail between the Kawarau River bungy bridge and Gibbston wineries has been closed temporarily while the track is upgraded to meet the full cycle trail standard.

The track was built by the Gibbston Community Association several years ago and is being widened so that it meets the same standard as trail network developed by the Queenstown Trails Trust. The Trust is paying for the work. QLDC will take over the ongoing maintenance of this trail once the upgrade is completed.

Unfortunately as there is no safe alternative route for walkers and cyclists, the track will be closed completely while the work is being carried out. It is scheduled to be finished by Christmas.
