MAUAO CLOSURE!! Following the vandalism of the kāpehu (cultural compass) on Friday, 13 December, a full closure of Mauao is required to complete repairs to the pounamu touchstone. All tracks on Mauao will be closed on Tuesday, 17 December from 8.30am, to allow the team to carry out the repairs safely and efficiently. The maunga and tracks are expected to reopen by the end of the day.
Damage to the pounamu on Mauao
There will be a karakia at the summit tomorrow morning at 5.30am to bless both the kapehu and the Mauao-a-thon.
A Mauao Trust representative says the damage has been assessed and the plinth area is now closed off to the public.
“We ask that the community please do not climb or lean over the fencing to view or take photos of the compass to prevent further damage. We also ask the public to respect the maunga and the forthcoming closure.”
Some temporary restoration work is being undertaken this afternoon around the cultural compass. All other areas of Mauao and all tracks remain open.
The original artists of the cultural compass will travel to Tauranga to assess the damage, with the dates for this visit to be confirmed. Once the assessment is complete, a timeline for repairs will be established, and during these repairs there will be a full closure of Mauao. The dates for this closure will be communicated to the public in advance.
Mayor Drysdale says he is deeply disappointed that someone has vandalised the precious pounamu touchstone on Mauao.
“This is a despicable and disrespectful act which should not and will not be tolerated. This has been reported to the Police and we encourage anyone with information that might assist to come forward, so that those who have committed this wanton vandalism can be held accountable.”
