Mōrere Hot Springs to reopen next week after being shut for two months
The public will soon once again be able to enjoy a local taonga when the Mōrere Hot Springs between Wairoa and Gisborne reopens next week.
An alert on the Department of Conservation website confirmed this week that Mōrere Hot Springs, or Nga Hua o Mōrere, will reopen on Monday, May 26.
The facility closed for critical maintenance on March 20 because of an issue at the springs' hot water collection point.
A DoC spokesman said at the time it hoped to have the hot springs open again by Easter, but this was delayed largely because of weather conditions, according to a previous update on the Nga Hua o Mōrere Facebook page in April.
The site will have new hours when it reopens, shifting the opening and closing times an hour earlier.

Love Taupō Supports New Visitor Charges
Press Release – Destination Great Lake Taupo Love Taup General Manager Patrick Dault believes the extra funding provided will deliver positive results for regional tourism for both visitors and locals. Love Taupō supports the Government's announcement of a plan to charge overseas visitors for the privilege of visiting some of New Zealand's most iconic and popular conservation areas. The Tongariro Alpine Crossing is one of four high-visit conservation locations featured in the initial scheme. Revenue gathered by these visitor charges will go back into Department of Conservation work at the same locations. Love Taupō General Manager Patrick Dault believes the extra funding provided will deliver positive results for regional tourism for both visitors and locals. 'More money to sustainably manage our treasured conservation estate is a positive for every Kiwi because we all get to benefit from a safe and healthy environment,' Dault says. 'Any investment in improving and developing new infrastructure on the Tongariro Alpine Crossing should be good news for both visitors and local communities as it will ultimately offer an enhanced experience.' 'A large proportion of our international visitors visit the region for the purpose of exploring the Unesco World Heritage Park and the Tongariro Alpine Crossing remains one of the destination drivers.' adds Dault. 'This aligns perfectly with Te Ihirangi — the Taupō Regional Destination Management Plan, a common vision for a more regenerative approach to tourism. It puts people and place, communities and the environment first, ensuring tourism adds true value to the destination.' The watchout for the tourism sector, he said, would always be the challenge of keeping costs within the reach of visitors. While a small extra charge might not be much for some market segments, it could represent a deterrent for a different group. The Government is looking initially at applying charges to four locations: Tongariro Alpine Crossing, Cathedral Cove/Te Whanganui-a-Hei, the Milford Track and Aoraki/Mount Cook. Foreign visitors account for up to 80% of visitors to these places. Conservation Minister Tama Potaka said the charges would range from $20 to $40 per person, with the goal of raising up to $62 million per year to be reinvested directly into those same areas. Entry for New Zealanders would remain free. Up to 105,000 visitors used some, or all, of the Tongariro Alpine Crossing in the 2023/24 season (1 October 2023 to 8 April 2024), according to the Department of Conservation. Booking data shows that 80% were international visitors. Up to 1500 to 2000 people visited the track on the busiest days.*

Unleashing Growth On Conservation Land
Rt Hon Christopher Luxon Prime Minister Minister of Conservation Unleashing economic growth on one third of New Zealand's land will create jobs and increase wages across the country, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and Conservation Minister Tama Potaka announced at the National Party Conference in Christchurch today. 'The Department of Conservation manages huge tracts of New Zealand, from the most pristine parts of our National Parks and the Great Walks to areas of grassland used for grazing,' Mr Luxon says. 'Many New Zealanders already run outstanding businesses on the conservation estate – from guided walks and ski fields, to filming documentaries, grazing sheep and cattle, or hosting concerts and building cell phone towers. 'But to do any of that, you need a concession – and the concessions regime is totally broken, often taking years to obtain or renew and leaving businesses in a cycle of bureaucratic limbo. 'Outdated rules mean we've got examples of modern E-bike users being turned away from potential touring opportunities because they have to be considered as proper vehicles. And tourism on the Routeburn is being held up because the trail crosses artificial boundaries, with different rules and different limits. 'So, in the spirit of saying yes to more jobs, more growth, and higher wages, today I can make two announcements. 'First, we're going to fix the Conservation Act to unleash a fresh wave of concessions – like tourism, agriculture, and infrastructure, in locations where that makes sense. 'At the same time, sites that are truly special to New Zealanders should be protected so we are giving DOC more support by introducing a charge for foreign visitors to access high volume sites,' Mr Luxon says. Tama Potaka says this will initially involve looking at four locations – Cathedral Cove / Te Whanganui-a-Hei, Tongariro Crossing, Milford Track, and Aoraki Mount Cook – where foreigners often make up 80 per cent of all visitors. 'Tourists make a massive contribution to our economy, and no one wants that to change. But I have heard many times from friends visiting from overseas their shock that they can visit some of the most beautiful places in the world for free. 'It's only fair that at these special locations, foreign visitors make an additional contribution of between $20 and $40 per person. 'For the conservation estate that will mean up to $62 million per year in revenue, which will be directly re-invested into those same areas, so we can keep investing in the sites that underpin so much of our tourism sector,' Mr Potaka says. Mr Luxon says, at the same time, there will be no charge for New Zealanders to access the conservation estate. 'It's our collective inheritance and Kiwis shouldn't have to pay to see it. 'If we're serious about keeping Kiwis at home, creating jobs, and increasing wages for all New Zealanders, we can't afford to keep saying no to every opportunity that comes our way,' Mr Luxon says.

Editorial: Foreign tourist fee is a no-brainer
Those who have been lucky enough to visit these sites know how busy they have become as years have passed. According to Conservation Minister Tama Potaka, foreigners can now make up 80% of the total visitors. It's only right then that if we are willing to open up our precious places and taonga for the world, then the world should help us maintain them for future generations. 'Tourists make a massive contribution to our economy, and no one wants that to change,' Potaka said. 'But I have heard many times from friends visiting from overseas their shock that they can visit some of the most beautiful places in the world for free.' Many of us have travelled overseas and are familiar with the idea of paying a similar fee to see a country's great sights. Having often spent thousands of dollars on airfares already, it would take a particular type of Scrooge to mutter and moan about paying a $20 to $40 fee. The money that is generated from this scheme, however, must be used to help protect and maintain these places. Potaka said it would result in up to $62 million per year in revenue and he promised it would be 'directly reinvested' into DoC sites. Every tourist operator and Kiwi should ensure they hold this and the next government to that promise. Another promise was that New Zealanders would not be hit with the charge. We already enjoy similar schemes with some of our museums. The foreign tourist fee should be an easy political win for the Government and Luxon is unlikely to face any serious opposition to the move. A no-brainer, which now only leaves us wondering why we didn't make the move sooner.
