Mauao restoration work has begun

This week marked an important step in the beginning of the restoration work on Mauao. Repair works can now begin in line with agreed cultural, environmental and safety protocols. Restoring access to Motukauri (summit track network) will enable us to work on restoring the maunga. A blessing was held in partnership with Tauranga City Council, the Mauao Trust and Ngā Poutiriao o Mauao, reflecting the shared responsibility and kaitiakitanga of Mauao. This enables re-entry onto the maunga for the commencement of these essential repair works.
