Poll: Mauao carries $1.35 million cost

Matt Shand Reporter from

A trip to Mauao is on the must-do list for most visitors to Tauranga, but maintaining the track has carried a $1.35 million cost to ratepayers over the last three years.

While the majority of that figure has been budgeted expenditure from Tauranga City Council, but unbudgeted expenditure is becoming more common, forcing some to question if the walking track can remain free forever.

Do you think a user pays arrangement is needed to ease pressure of ratepayers?
