LAKE DUNSTAN TRAIL

WE’D LOVE YOU TO JOIN OUR TRAIL COMMUNITY

However you choose to join, you’ll be part of the team. The trail is not funded by rates or central government - it’s all up to us.

Trail partners are businesses who operate on the trail and are committed to contributing to it’s long term sustainability.
Supporters are individuals, families and local businesses who care about the trail’s benefit to us all.
Volunteers offer time and skills to build, improve and maintain.
Trustees use their collective skills and experience to maximise the impact of every dollar, every person and every conversation.

Trail Partners

Is the Lake Dunstan Trail a key part of your business? Our Official partners are Qualmark certified, or demonstrate good business practices and customer service.
We actively promote our partners, and
their contribution helps with the ongoing maintenance of the trail.
Interested?

  • Our Official Partners are businesses that directly use the Lake Dunstan Trail.

    To become an Official Partner, the company should be Qualmark certified or be able to demonstrate good business practices and high levels of customer service.

    Businesses such as shuttle companies, or smaller local businesses, are encouraged to become Trail Supporters.

  • Our Official Partners can use a special logo and marketing package. They receive regular updates and we actively promote our partner businesses on our website and on the NZCT website.

    Official Partners can also attend virtual and in-person meetings, to receive updates, information and to discuss and share ideas and knowledge.

    It’s all about team work!

  • At the start of each season, you make a tax deductible donation of $1,000 (GST incl). You agree to donate an amount per rider. We rely on your honesty and commitment to the future of the trail.
