Have Your Say! – OCRT Business Network Discussion Sessions Next Week
Next week we're holding two facilitated discussion sessions and we'd love to hear from businesses across the Otago Central Rail Trail.
Whether you're a long-time member, a new operator, or simply have a connection to the trail, this is your opportunity to share your thoughts, ideas and experiences.
Facilitated by Mark Button
Current OCRT Business Network Board Member, owner of Waipiata Pies, and former owner of the Waipiata Country Hotel.
What would we like to hear from you?
✅ What would you like to see from the OCRT Business Network Board?
✅ How did your business find the past season?
✅ What are your thoughts on the upcoming season?
✅ What opportunities or challenges are you seeing?
✅ What questions or discussions would you like to have with fellow operators and Board members?
Questions and discussion topics can be submitted:
📋 Through the RSVP form

💬 In person on the day
📮 Via our anonymous suggestions and questions box at the event
Feel free to bring a written question with you. Pens and paper will also be available on the day for additional questions and ideas.
These sessions are intended to be open, constructive and collaborative conversations. The stronger the discussion, the stronger our network becomes.
Bring a colleague, a neighbouring operator, or anyone with a connection to the trail — the more the merrier!
We look forward to seeing you there.
