Maungakiekie / One Tree Hill tihi (summit) track upgrades

The Authority will be undertaking track improvements at Maungakiekie / One Tree Hill, starting approximately mid- January 2025. These improvements include formalising an informal track towards the tihi (summit). This will include building new boxed steps and adding aggregate tracks along this walkway. The boxed steps will be built to protect further erosion of the Maunga and walkways into sensitive archaeological features.

These improvements are designed to enhance the experience for all manuhiri (visitors).

Construction dates

Work is scheduled to begin in mid-January 2025 and will take approximately        20 – 22 weeks to complete. Construction will be Monday to Friday (and Saturday morning, where required) during work hours to limit disturbance to neighbours. Please note there could be delays due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances. The primary establishment site for the construction team will be set up on the Cornwall Park Trust site (near Olive grove) to store materials and access for machinery. Part of the carpark at the tihi will be used for material storage during the upgrade.

Visitor access

Pedestrian, cycle, and vehicle access will be maintained throughout the upgrade works. Alternative routes to the tihi can be accessed from Western Crater carpark pedestrian track and will be signposted.
