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

17 Jul 2025, 10:23 AM

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.
