A message from DOC


In Northland there have been significant landslides and erosion on coastal walks.

The popular Managwhai Cliff Walkway is closed until further notice and we're asking people not to attempt to do this walk, as you could be putting yourself and others at serious risk of harm.


In Auckland, the well known Te Henga Walkway is completely inaccessible and fully closed for the foreseeable future. Not only are there large slips and landslides throughout the track, but the bridge at the Bethell's end has washed away.
