Help protect our kauri trees
We have closed large sections of our parks network to prevent the spread of kauri dieback. For more information see Protect our kauri trees.
1080 pest management
During August and October, we are applying 1080 bait to the parkland area. This work is weather dependent and we need to close the area for your safety.
Once track clearance work is complete we will reopen the area.
Warning signs will remain in place during the caution period, until bait and carcasses have broken down. See Hunua Project: 1080 pest management for details on the closures and when the caution period will be lifted.
