Vandalism Sparks Push For Kaiti Hill Road ClosureJuly 28, 2026An iconic hilltop road overlooking Tūranganui-a-Kiwa Poverty Bay and Gisborne city could end up being closed overnight after frequent acts of vandalism. The proposal was put forward following complaints from Ngāti Oneone about vandalism, anti-social behaviour and illegal dumping at the site. “Ngāti Oneone hapū work tirelessly to keep Titirangi beautiful and safe for everyone,” Ngāti Oneone chairperson Charlotte Gibson said. Tiaki taiao, tiaki whenua, tiaki tangata: caring for our environment, our land and our people.” There’s rubbish, there’s green waste, there’s sometimes carcasses.”
