A deep sinkhole has opened up in Golden Sands, Pāpāmoa.
The hole, estimated to be about 5m deep and 3m wide, opened next to a public footpath on Golden Sands Drive, opposite Golden Sands School, this morning.
A resident told the Bay of Plenty Times he had “never seen so much hi-vis”.
“I wouldn’t have expected that to happen around here,” he said.
Fulton Hogan workers were erecting fencing around the hole.
Almost 20 people were at the site assessing the sinkhole.
Tauranga City Council has been approached for comment.

Twenty people to assess a sinkhole.
No suprise for a sinkhole in Papamoa.

....now you have pointed that out...someone in the TCC (WFH due to it looking like rain) will have decided as it is of public interest, instruct contractors to put 300 road cones around it and sell tickets to the public to view it! :)
Road cones

Not surprised 🤨 much, reclaimed land used to be a beach, another might just 'pop up'
