Mauao track closures
UPDATE 17/11, 4.24pm:
During scheduled maintenance on Mauao today our team found a large boulder/rock that needs to be remove for safety reasons.
The Mauao base track and Oruahine track will remain closed tonight instead of opening at 4pm, as planned, to allow work to continue this evening.
The 4X4 and Waikorire tracks to the summit will remain open.
We are aiming to get all tracks open again by around 6.30am tomorrow morning. Thank you for your patience.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
