The Pilot Bay boat ramp remains closed.

Due to the risk of landslip and the associated maritime safety risks around Mauao/Mount Maunganui, a 30-metre exclusion zone put in place by the Bay of Plenty Regional Harbourmaster remains. 

The exclusion zone applies to all vessels and people and is 30 metres from the base/shore of Mauao.
