On 22 January 2026 severe weather caused widespread damage across our city and region, including multiple landslides and damage to infrastructure. Mauao, our city's treasured maunga (mountain), was particularly affected. Forty-two landslides occurred, and, tragically, a large landslide above Mount Maunganui Beachside Holiday Park claimed the lives of six people. Both Mauao and the Mauao Recreation Reserve, at the base of Mauao, suffered significant damage.

Join the Recovery Office team for an update on the recovery programme at Mauao. This event will include a presentation followed by a Q&A session. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the work underway, including how we are working towards the safe reopening of Mauao.

In addition to an update on the recovery programme, you will hear more about an opportunity to explore future options for the surrounding area, known as the Mauao Precinct. This includes the hot pools and holiday park area, as well as the Pilot Bay boat ramp. 

Find out more about shaping the future of the Mauao Precinct.
