Jane Bruce

Secretary

Started tramping in the Tararuas, came to Dunedin as a student and stayed. Joined the OTMC, tramping and XC-skiing Otago's block mountains, then with children and friends discovered the walking opportunities and history of our local area. Add in recreational mountain biking and geocaching. In my spare time I am a paper-shuffler in one of Dunedin's beautiful heritage buildings. Once the Dunedin Tunnels Trail is completed, you'll see me biking slowly out to Mosgiel for a leisurely latte!

Gerard Hyland

Trustee

I first arrived in Dunedin for University, then following graduation and a few years away came back to raise a family. With the children now gone, I spend my leisure time split between gardening, MTB riding, and geocaching. An IT professional by day, evenings are spent following up on tunnels and reading mostly Science Fiction.

Kate Wilson

Trustee

Kate is an enthusiastic supporter of the tunnels project having seen the benefits of the Otago Central Rail Trail Trust to her community in Middlemarch. As a keener biker than her hill riding ability she loves the thought that the tunnels can make Dunedin flat from Aramoana to Henley and offer children safe independent links to family and friends. She also hopes to ensure it provides for a broad range of people - keen to mitigate any accessibility issues.
