The St John grant is significant, although it pales in comparison with the lion’s share of $1.75million granted to the Central Otago Queenstown Trail Network Trust, the fourth instalment of a five-year grant commitment. The Central Lakes Trust’s overall $11.15million commitment to the cycle trails was its largest grant to date, CLT chief executive Susan Finlay said.
