A rāhui has been placed over the Mimitangiatua Awa within the rohe of Ngāti Mutunga to take effect from Saturday 7th November 2020.
The cultural health and mauri of the water in the awa has become degraded over recent years meaning Ngāti Mutunga consider that it is not safe to gather and eat kai from the awa or to swim there. This means that there should be no:
- taking of any shellfish from the awa
- taking of fish from the awa
- swimming or recreation in the awa
We ask that your respect the rāhui to protect your health and wellbeing until the health of the awa improves.
