A Cathedral Cove tourism operator believes the Department of Conservation's latest track update is just another delaying tactic.  

The track has been closed for almost a year after damage from severe weather.  

DOC says it'll know in coming months if the track is feasible, or if other options need to be considered. 

It has commissioned further land stability monitoring.   

Cathedral Cove Scenic Cruises' Ken Hindmarsh told Tim Dower that he's on the water constantly and hasn't seen any rockfall since the main weather damage.
