Kaumātua have placed a rāhui from Thursday 1 May following a tragic accident. As a sign of respect, the community is kindly asked to refrain from recreational activities such as fishing, kaimoana (seafood) collection, swimming, surfing and boating at the beach and harbour until Sunday 4 May. We extend our condolences to the whānau, friends and Whangamatā community during this difficult time.
