Mount Maunganui, or Mauao, known to locals as The Mount, [3] is a 232 metre (760 foot) volcanic dome at the end of a peninsula in the Tauranga suburb of Mount Maunganui in New Zealand, beside the eastern entrance to the city's harbour. Local Māori consider Mauao to be tapu (sacred), and it plays an important role in their mythology.
Mount Maunganui that forms one of the heads of the main entrance to Tauranga Harbour erupted 2.35 ± 0.06 million years ago and is the most recognised volcano of the Centre but other volcanoes nearby have been used as Pās by the Māori.

On the Mount Maunganui side of the harbour, the Port of Tauranga has 2,055m of linear (continuous) berth face. Immediately adjacent to the wharf are cargo sheds and a 20,000 tonne capacity coldstore. Spread along the wharf are 22 bunker points to allow ships to refuel while loading or unloading.
In 1935, the Tauranga Aero Club leased land adjacent to Tauranga Harbour in Mount Maunganui to establish an aerodrome. Up until then, the only airfield serving the town was a runway on the eastern side of the Waikareao Estuary which was only usable during low tide, and it was deemed that a permanent facility was going to be necessary in order to cater for growing demand in the region.
