Haast Roar Ballot
**Applications not containing Party Leaders name, address, email and date of birth will be considered invalid**
**In 2024 DOC undertook an unplanned predator control operation in the Haast and Landsborough valleys. As this occurred post the ballot process, it impacted hunters who had been successfully allocated sites. Hunters were offered the option to postpone their allocation to the 2025 ballot; accordingly some sites will not appear available in the selection below**
