Tauranga City Council can confirm that an agenda prepared for a joint meeting of Ngā Poutiriao ō Mauao and the Mauao Trust, scheduled for 6 August 2025, included an Operational Report.

Good progress is being made on work to support the longer-term reopening of Adams Avenue following the recent reactivation of the Mount Maunganui Beachside Holiday Park landslide.

Recent monitoring has confirmed renewed movement within the main landslide area on Mauao above the Mount Maunganui Beachside Holiday Park.

Tauranga City Council advises that the monitoring alarms on Mauao have activated again today.

The landscape on Mauao continues to change.

Over the weekend we have seen reactivations of the main landslide of 22 January 2026 within the Mount Maunganui Beachside Holiday Park.

Adams Avenue, between Pilot Bay and the Maunganui Road roundabout, will be temporarily closed to vehicles, effective immediately.

Over the past several months, a substantial number of documents have been released on the Tauranga City Council dedicated Mauao webpage relating to the tragic landslide in January.

Additional monitoring of the main Mauao landslide area has been set up.

Charlie Rahiri, Recovery Manager, Tauranga City Council undertook a four-hour hīkoi led by Mauao Trust with representatives of the three iwi of Tauranga Moana, the owners of Mauao, to witness the slips and the impact on the ancestral mount.

This week marked an important step in the beginning of the restoration work on Mauao.

Following the initial release of information last week on Tauranga City Council’s Mauao Landslide website, a second tranche of documents has been published today.
