New Mt Eden viewing platform offers ‘instagrammable’ views while protecting historic Māori site
A new boardwalk around the crater of Mt Eden wants to be Auckland’s most “instagrammable” spot, while protecting an 800 year-old Māori settlement.
The deck is perched on the northern knoll of the mountain, and offers panoramic views of the city and Waitematā Harbour.

The deck is perched on the northern knoll of the mountain, and offers panoramic views of the city and Waitematā Harbour.
Tūpuna Maunga Authority chair Paul Majurey said the boardwalk provides protection for the last remnants of a historic Māori site built around 1200AD,
“Maungawhau is a waahi tapu – a sacred place of immense historical, cultural and spiritual significance to the Mana Whenua iwi/hapū of Tāmaki Makaurau,” he said.
“It is also geologically important and is highly valued by the many communities that have a connection with this special place. Maungawhau is a taonga in every sense of the word.”
The boardwalk carefully winds through the tūāpapa (terraces) where the houses and gardens of the pā once sat, and the rua (pits) which were roofed for storing crops.
Visitors can now appreciate these features without causing damage.
Majurey said extensive planning for the project included a review of historic locations and World Heritage sites around the world, such as the boardwalks at Yosemite National Park in the United States and the trails around Stonehenge in England.
“With around 1.2 million people visiting Maungawhau every year, a better solution was needed to both protect the pā features and enhance the experience that visitors expect from one of the country’s most iconic Maunga,” he said.
Construction began in November 2019 and experienced some delays due to Covid-19 lockdowns.
Visitors are encouraged to place health and safety first, maintain a 2-metre physical distance from others on the Maunga and take advantage of the manual check-in feature on the NZ COVID Tracer app.

However, the guidelines for COVID-19 Level 2.5 restrictions are somewhat confusing for Dance Yourself Happy. We are unsure whether our sessions fall into the category of a social gathering or likened to a gym.
For all intents and purposes, we're taking an err-on-the-side-of-caution approach to resuming Dance Yourself Happy. Therefore, this Thursday's (3 September), session will not go ahead.
A restart date for the Dance Yourself Happy 2020 season will be reviewed after the Prime Minister's scheduled COVID-19 Level update on Sunday 6 September.
Mari Pettersson and MECOSS thank you for your understanding and we look forward to seeing you all back at Dance Yourself Happy in the very near future.
Stay safe, keep your distance, wash your hands and wear your masks.

New Zealanders from farms, factories and schools around the country are showcasing messages of support for Aucklanders trapped in lockdown.
The initiative is being driven by Kia Kaha Auckland, a group aiming to support communities and regions who continue to be disadvantaged by the impacts of Covid-19.
Group spokesperson Lee Astridge said it was a way to show Auckland the rest of the country was thinking of them and wishing them strength in adversity.
“We’re a bunch of rural people who believe that stepping up and showing we care for everyone in New Zealand ultimately gives the country the best chance to thrive,” he said.
Here’s a clip of some of the messages, let us know what you think in the comments!
Letters, Tinder messages to feature in upcoming Auckland Museum love exhibition
Auckland Museum is calling on the public submit personal messages they have received in their life about love, loss and longing.

Auckland Museum … View moreAuckland Museum is calling on the public submit personal messages they have received in their life about love, loss and longing.
Letters, texts, postcards and even Tinder messages Aucklanders have sent to one another will be compiled into an upcoming exhibition in mid-2021.
Auckland Museum spokesperson Nina Finigan said the exhibition will explore the ways Aucklanders communicate feelings of love, loss, and longing, and how that has changed and stayed the same over time.
“Love, loss and longing – these feelings are universal and reveal something profound about what it means to be human,” she said.
“How we communicate these emotions continues to evolve but our need to tell people we love and miss them is timeless.”
Submissions can be anything from a love letter physically received in the mail, an email from a friend overseas, an affectionate card from a family member or messages from a Tinder profile.
They can focus on love lost in the form of a breakup message, a letter from someone disclosing profound grief, or a letter that takes on new meaning after the sender has passed away.
Family stories where letters or messages played a key part, or letters that have been passed down in your family, are also welcomed for submission.
"We acknowledge that such messages are highly personal. We are committed to ethical use and display of personal stories and will work alongside submitters to ensure their stories are treated with care, sensitivity and respect,” Finigan said.
To submit items for consideration please send a photo, scan or screen grab of the letter, email or message history to submissions@aucklandmuseum.com
Submissions close Sunday 13 September.
