Mauao

Mauao is a historic reserve. It is owned by iwi and managed by Tauranga City Council.

Mauao historic reserve is owned by local iwi Ngai Te Rangi, Ngati Ranginui and Ngati Pukenga in the form of the Mauao Trust. The reserve is managed jointly by the Mauao Trust and Tauranga City Council under the direction of the Ngā Poutiriao ō Mauao (Mauao Joint Administration Board).

Mauao Placemaking

Ko Mauao te Maunga, ko Tauranga te Moana. Mauao is the mountain, and Tauranga is the sea.

An icon and taonga here in Tauranga Moana, Mauao has long stood as a beacon for those returning home or visiting.

A collaborative project between Tauranga City Council and Ngā Poutiriao ō Mauao (the Mauao Joint Administration Board), Mauao Placemaking sets out to share the rich history and stories that Mauao holds through new wayfinding signage and cultural touchpoints across the maunga (mountain).

The project encourages those that call Tauranga Moana home to rediscover the history of the maunga and for those visiting to immerse themselves in the history of Mauao.

Mauao Placemaking news articles

Tracks

There are several tracks to the summit. Mauao is 232m high, and it takes about 40 minutes to get to the top. On a hot day it can be hard work – pace yourself and take water, sunscreen and a hat. Tracks are busy, so please keep left and share with care. Please also remove all rubbish and leave gates as you find them.
