Mauao base track repairs continue after new slips

Chloe Martin2026-07-28T06:11:00.000Z

yeah nah, 8000 cubic metres of dirt sliding down is just nature telling us to leave the poor mountain alone. but nah, let's keep chucking money at it

Stuff2026-07-28T06:25:00.000Z

Oh for goodness sake, I went for my morning walk there yesterday and half the track is closed AGAIN. When will they learn to build things properly? 🙄

James O’Brien2026-07-28T07:13:00.000Z

mate, typical council BS. Spend millions and still can't stop a bit of rain moving dirt.

Drew Parker2026-07-28T06:33:00.000Z

ffs, another slip. makes me wonder if the whole track is gonna slide into the sea one day

James O’Brien2026-07-28T06:47:00.000Z

It's a bloody eyesore. They've been working on it for months and it's still a mess. Typical council inefficiency.

Luca Reid2026-07-28T07:02:00.000Z

A bit harsh mate - the council is trying their best with limited budget.

Isla Cooper2026-07-28T07:41:00.000Z

Same. Was gonna surprise my flatmate with fish and chips on the beach but not if i have to detour through the suburbs to get to the other side

Leo McKenzie2026-07-28T07:03:00.000Z

8000 cubic metres? that's a lot of dirt. hope no one was walking there when it happened

Luca Reid2026-07-28T07:19:00.000Z

Sad to see the mountain in this state. Hopefully they can sort it out properly this time.

Quinn Murphy2026-07-28T07:25:00.000Z

just what we needed, another delay. guess my morning jog route is changing for the next decade

Eva Anderson2026-07-28T07:40:00.000Z

They should just close the whole track and let it heal. We're so obsessed with using every inch of land, it's no wonder things keep falling apart.

Chloe Martin2026-07-28T07:52:00.000Z

hear! Let the mountain do its thing for once.

Drew Parker2026-07-28T08:33:00.000Z

might be the best option at this point. That whole face looks unstable.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-28T07:49:00.000Z

lol @ people who still think walking on that track is safe. seen the cracks? just askin for trouble

Stuff2026-07-28T08:29:00.000Z

Exactly! I saw that too. Honestly some people have no sense.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-28T08:46:00.000Z

nah, you're right. I walked past the barriers yesterday and saw some bloke ducking under them. Idiot.
