Tauranga City Council team leader parks and environment Warren Aitken talks about the dangers of Omanawa Falls.
This story was originally published on RNZ.co.nz and is republished with permission. Members of a Tauranga hapū will be taking time off the marae this summer to keep an eye on visitors to a dangerous waterfall that has proved irresistible to snap-happy tourists. The Omanawa Falls in the Kaimai Range near Tauranga can only be accessed by climbing down a hazardous cliff face. The falls have always been closed to the public due to safety concerns. In 2018, one person drowned at the falls, in addition to a number of people getting seriously injured getting to the falls or having to be rescued over the years.

Kaitiaki are at the Omanawa Falls in an advisory role, to help those working on reopening the site which closed due to safety concerns.
They will be on site most days through summer from Monday, December 21 2020 until April 2021.
"The Omanawa Falls area is in the rohe of Ngāti Hangarau and we are partnering directly on the care, design and development of this important cultural site," Tauranga City Council parks and recreation manager Mark Smith said.
The Omanawa Falls are currently closed to the public for safety reasons and the council is working closely with Ngāti Hangarau and Tourism Bay of Plenty to reopen the falls by constructing safe access with full consideration given to the historical, cultural and environmental significance of the site.
