The MMNR is well served by a number of
strategically-located visitor entrance gates around the
Reserve.
These are generally at points where classified or
other major roads meet the area’s boundary, or in
areas
where there is significant demand to warrant the
establishment of a gate. Enoompuai is the only
remaining
place in the Reserve where a major road provides
access to the Reserve without an entrance gate to
control
access and to collect entry fees. This ambiguity
in the area’s boundary has encouraged illegal activities,
such as
livestock grazing, in this section of the MMNR and
has forced visitors entering the area to make a detour
in
order to pay for entrance to the Reserve. To
address this loophole, a new visitor entrance gate, and any
associated
staff housing needed, will be constructed at
Enoompuai at the point where the major road
connecting
Talek-Musiara Gates meets the Reserve
boundary.
