Increased access to Hunter Valley unnecessary, leasee's lawyer argues

Department of Conservation is supporting the Walking Access Commission's appeal for an easement on a 40km road that winds through Hunter Valley Station, which its leasee - millionaire American Matt Lauer - is refusing.

*The audio version of this story incorrectly refers to DOC requesting an easement. DOC hasn’t requested an easement, but says it supports Walking Commission’s appeal for an easement.
