Shortly after our last post, the devastating landslip occurred on Mauao. Our sincere thoughts are with all the families involved, as well as the rescue workers, MAUAO TRUST kaitiaki, and staff of Beachside Holiday Park and Mount Hot Pools. We're sharing the below details encase anyone wishes to make a donation, it's the only help that many of us can give. We also wish to reassure you that the majority of Mt Maunganui is still open for business, but you are required to stay away from the immediate area close to Mauao. Please continue to support our local businesses if you are in the area this weekend or over the coming weeks, many are supporting the rescue teams with food, coffee and more ❤️
Devastating landslides, flooding, and wide-spread damage have impacted communities right across Tauranga Moana and the Western Bay of Plenty.
