To control possums, goats, feral sheep, rabbits and stoats, and monitor pigs (year round with focus on spring season). With Possums officially under control in the Park Goats are the most significant threat to our ongoing conservation efforts.

Possum control will continue to require the Supporters to co-ordinate new volunteers for bait stations. New stations will be installed in Nikau Valley and ex-Miets land and. WRC only funds impracticable bait stations. Replacement stations and parts are required at cost of $500.

The Wellington City Council funds a certain number of goat shooting days per year in Makara Peak and surrounding areas;  The Makara Peak Supporters will also work with local land owners to seek a return to access to their properties for more regular goat control.

Supporters continue to run trap lines for mustelid control (eg. stoats) within the Park.

The Makara Peak Supporters continue to work with the Wellington City Council on improving the quality and effectiveness of the fencing around Makara Peak.  However there remain significant areas of the Park on the South Karori Road side that have no fencing at all.
