Doc seeks Twelve Mile site camping ground developer

The Department of Conservation (Doc) is hoping to attract lease interest from private operators to develop the popular but basic Twelve Mile Delta Recreation Reserve into a "new, family- and environmentally friendly, affordable and safe camping ground".

The Doc Wakatipu area office began advertising that it was seeking proposals in a bid to enhance the 6ha camping ground that will serve campers for the long term.

The camping ground was likely to feature toilets, showers and a food preparation facility, as well as a suitable accommodation building for a camping ground manager.
