The track will reopen to vehicles in late October or early November this year depending on conditions. Throughout the closure, the track will remain available for those not using vehicles, like pedestrians.

This track crosses through bush and shallow mountain streams and passes by historic relics like reservoirs, pipelines, and mine shafts. There are a few bridges over steeper streams and gullies. This track can be looped with the Lipsey and the Horseman's Tracks.Please walk with caution and follow the green wayfinding markers as this track frequently crosses with mountain bikes trails. The section between Tui Road and the junction with the Hamilton Street Track is much steeper and narrower than the rest. Some DOC tracks join the track between Tui Road and the Hamilton Street Track.
Note: The Tui Domain Tack is a ‘Walking track' from Te Aroha Domain to Hamilton Street junction and a ‘Easier tramping track’ from Hamilton Road Junction to Tui Road.
