Path

Figure 1 below illustrates the predicted route of the track as identified during the least cost paths analysis. The four parts of the route are shown: Punakiki to the ventilation shaft; shaft to the mine portal (lookout point); portal to the amenities area; and the ventilation shaft to Blackball. The results clearly illustrate it is possible to use cost paths modelling to identify a track. However, further assessment will be necessary around the aesthetic value of the track, to assess whether it is in the ‘best location’. The track seems to be in relatively straight liens for the most part with no switchbacks, and few loops. Figure 5: from ArcGlobe illustrates the terrain and landscape surrounding the track, which appears to be fairly affable, in terms of changing elevation, slope and shift between ridges and valleys. The figure is south facing toward Blackball.

It has provided a route DoC could follow for the Pike29 Memorial Track. However, the ability of this tool using the current model to provide the ‘best’ track is questionable and there are some significant limitations. This is indicated firstly by…
