Who we are
Central Otago Clutha Trails Limited (COCTL) was incorporated as a charitable company in 2014 to maintain the Roxburgh Gorge Trail and the Clutha Gold Trail. COCTL is owned by the shareholders of Roxburgh Gorge Trail Charitable Trust and the Clutha Gold Trail Charitable Trust.
The purpose of COCTL is to supervise, finance, and maintain the pedestrian and cycle trail from Alexandra to Lawrence in order to facilitate and promote public use and enjoyment of this area.
The company receives income from Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) for the purposes of maintaining the tracks. Additional, essential, income is received by donations from cyclists and selling advertising to support the marketing of the trails. Our financial reporting is available here.
The company has a volunteer board of five who meet monthly.
