POSTPONEMENT of Cultural Storyboards opening and blessing

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. This is due to areas of the walkway suffering from washouts and flooding from recent weather events. The installation of the storyboards and blessing will be held later in the year, which will allow for the walkway to be repaired and stabilised. We thank you for your understanding.

A section of trees along the Mangaokewa Stream will soon be removed as part of Waikato Regional Council’s Obstruction Removals Programme.

The area downstream from the Te Kūiti Water Treatment Plant intake (pictured) has been prioritised for the next few weeks.

The area will be cordoned off to the public and all safety precautions will be undertaken.
