Pāpāmoa Hills Cultural Heritage Regional Park is closed to the public until further notice following multiple landslips caused by recent severe weather.

More than a dozen slips have occurred across the park, blocking vehicle and pedestrian access and damaging walking tracks and park infrastructure. The slips remain active, and there is an ongoing risk to public safety.

Staff and specialist contractors are on-site assessing the damage, including geotechnical assessments of high-risk areas. Due to the extent of the damage and ongoing instability, the park will remain closed while safety assessments are completed. Signage is in place and additional access controls will be installed as required to prevent public access.

The adjoining Summerhill Recreation Farm is also closed until further notice.

The public is asked to stay away from the park and not attempt to access closed areas.
