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.
The COVID-19 Protection Framework, along with several other COVID-19 public health measures ended at 11.59pm on 12 September 2022.
This means visitors to our council offices and facilities will no longer be required to wear a mask, however people are still welcome to wear one if they choose to.
