A track and lookout closure will be in effect at Te Rere o Ōmanawa/ Ōmanawa Falls tomorrow.

In a statement, Tauranga City Council said the closure is to allow for a helicopter delivery of materials to the historic Ōmanawa Falls power station for operational work.

“This includes a full day closure of the large lookout platform (Wairere Tapu) and lower lookout platform (Te Harikoa lookout), as well as the walking track that connects to both lookouts,” said council.

The track leading from the car park and first lookout (Te Tae Ōmanawa) will remain open.

If the helicopter delivery is delayed because of weather or other unforeseen circumstances, it is scheduled for Friday, July 25.
