at Auckland-Northland border
Earlier this week there was talk holidaymakers might be barred from Bay of Islands over summer.
However, on Wednesday night Waitangi marae chairman Ngati Kawa Taituha confirmed that is not the case, a position police backed up in a statement on Thursday afternoon.
"In Northland, police are working closely with Iwi around our plans to ensure we welcome visitors after 15 December in a way that will help protect vulnerable communities," police said.
