Ōpua-Paihia walkway closed

The Ōpua-Paihia Coastal Walkway has been closed until further notice due to a number of significant slips and fallen trees.

With heavy rain expected to continue over the next few days, it’s possible there will be further slips and damage to the walkway. The public is urged to stay away from the walkway due to the danger posed by unstable ground above the coastal track.

Signs have been erected and fencing will be going up as soon as possible. Walkers are asked to respect the signs and fencing and keep off the track for their own safety.
