Rāhui in place at Mount Maunganui

The Mauao Trust has placed a Rāhui over parts of Waikorire (Pilot Bay) and Hīnekite (Mount Main Beach).

The Rāhui applies to the cordoned area: Waikorire side: From Leinster Avenue to Mauao, and Hīnekite side: From Commons Avenue to Mauao.

We respectfully ask everyone to:

  • refrain from entering the rāhui zone  
  • avoid swimming, gathering kaimoana, or undertaking recreational activities in the affected area 
  • support the intent of the rāhui in upholding tikanga and ensuring safety.
