The Southland Times reports that a meeting held by the Glenorchy Community Association and attended by 100 people resulted in unanimous opposition to plans for the proposed Milford-Dart tunnel from the Routeburn Valley to the Hollyford Valley.

Te Anau residents have also voiced strong opposition. Buses would pass through Glenorchy on their way to the Routeburn portal. Milford Dart managing director Tom Elworthy said a bypass road to go behind Glenorchy was possible if residents were against the 40 to 60 vehicle movements per day.
