January weather event updates
Pāpāmoa Hills Cultural Heritage Regional Park
Pāpāmoa Hills Cultural Heritage Regional Park remains closed until further notice. This is due to significant damage caused by the January severe weather event, which impacted tracks and park infrastructure.
Work is underway to construct an alternative walking track around a major slip area to enable the park to safely reopen. We are aiming to have this track open in March.
We know how eager people are to have the park open again and to get back out on the tracks. While this work continues, we ask the public to respect the closure and to stay out of the park, for their own safety.
Our teams are working as quickly and safely as possible, and we look forward to welcoming visitors back to Papamoa Hills as soon as it is safe to do so.
Exclusion Zone in place around Mauao
Due to the risk of landslip and the associated maritime safety risks around Mauao/Mount Maunganui, a 30 metre exclusion zone has been put in place by the Bay of Plenty Regional Harbourmaster.
