Mauao Base Track opens for all
Mauao Base Track repairs have officially been completed, and people can now walk the full circuit without having to use stairs.
The repaired section reopened this morning, marking the conclusion of a successful project for iwi and the council.
A pre-Christmas repair blitz by council staff and contractors successfully allowed the section to open for the busy holiday season.
It was temporarily closed last month for drainage and stabilising work.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
