Repairs to the Mauao Base Track have officially been completed with the track reopening today.
The repaired section reopened this morning after part of the track was destroyed by a slip in April 2017.
Since then temporary stairs had been in place which meant people with limited mobility could not
walk the track.The topic had been contentious with the previous council, however, Mayor Tenby Powell put the repairs high on his priority list.
The council initially budgeted $4.65 million for a plan to re-route the track along the shore.
The new plan, to re-build the track close to the old route, was expected to cost less than a revised budget of $718,600.
