Postponement again of official opening and blessing of the Mangaokewa Walkway Cultural Storyboards

Waitomo District Council, with the support of Ngāti Rōrā, have made a call to POSTPONE the official opening and blessing of the Mangaokewa Walkway Cultural Storyboards for the second time.This is due to the heavy rain forecast for the rest of the week. The ground will be wet and the weather looks worse for Friday (26 September 2025). It's important to us that this significant occasion is done correctly. We will schedule another blessing to be held later in the year when the weather has improved.

We thank you again for your understanding and support.

Repairs completed on Mokau Jetty

25 Aug 2022, 4:18 PM

The Mōkau Jetty is open for public use again, following the recent completion of permanent repair work.
During the Cyclone Dovi storm event in February, debris was swept into the jetty causing some stress on the ramp. Over time, it had gotten worse and was a health and safety risk.
The side beams have now been shielded with a steel plate and dedicated bearings for the pivot. This will ensure the joins on jetty are structurally sound for many years to come.
