This walk comes from licensed public walk data and is being progressively confirmed against the authorities. Signs on the day always win. The rule-setter’s own wording: “The Tūpuna Maunga Authority's rule for Maungarei is "Under control ON leash", and Auckland Council's record for Mount Wellington Domain says the same: on-leash, all times, across all park areas”. Evidence: a hand-checked correction against the authority. How we check dog rules.
