Drones
Throughout New Zealand, flying remotely piloted aircraft systems
(drones) is governed by the Civil Aviation Authority.
In the Gore District we have set aside eight reserves where you
can fly a drone without a permit, you can view the list
here.
We need to be notified if you plan to fly a drone in other public spaces,
please email our Parks Manager Keith McRobie at
[email protected] for approval.
It is important to remember you cannot fly a drone over a
playground or near other park users. We also ask that you consider any animals
in the area, such as dogs off the leash, that may be frightened by a drone.
Additional personal insurance is required as Drones are not
covered by Public Liability Insurance.
Health and safety
Please notify us if any accident occurs over the duration of
your booking.
Smoking or vaping is not permitted in any of our facilities or
parks.
Some aspects of our facilities may not be suitable for children
or those with limited mobility. Please check the property details and contact
us if you are unsure of the suitability of the venue for you and your group.
Reservations cannot be refunded if on arrival the property is found to be
unsuitable for your needs.
It is your responsibility as our guest to familiarise yourself
with the potential hazards at the property.
Rubbish and cleanliness
Please ensure the area is left in a clean and tidy condition
following the booking(s). Failure to remove all rubbish or return the site back
to its original condition may incur a charge for any rubbish removed.
Legal requirements
Booking users must obtain any relevant permits, consents,
approvals and licences required.
The Gore District Council accepts no liability for any injury,
loss or damage to the guest or their property or any visitor to our facilities

From time to time, certain property features or facilities may
not be available due to circumstances beyond the control of the Council, for

Upon payment of the deposit, the booking user agrees to be bound

credit card details to the Council and authorise us to charge the credit card
