The closure of two Mauao tracks in the second week of November has been delayed.
The Waikorire and Oruahine tracks were to be resurfaced between November 7-11 ahead of the busy summer season but the work has been postponed.
The tracks to the summit would instead be closed at a later date, Tauranga City Council said, which would be advised early next week.
The work was still planned to be completed before Christmas.
The closure would be in effect from the stone steps at the Mount Maunganui Beach entrance up to the summit.
