Conservation Area - Omanawa River
Conservation Area - Omanawa River is a 192 hectare public hunting block in the Tauranga Area permit zone, Bay of Plenty. Elevations run from 223 m up to 371 m, with a median of 321 m — lowland foothill country sitting well below the bushline.
The block is bush-covered ground following the Omanawa River country in the western Bay of Plenty. Slopes lean north on the dominant aspect, with strong shares of north-east and north-west giving warm, open-feeling faces above the river system.
Game on the permit includes red deer, wild goat and wild pig. At this size and elevation the block is a day-hunt option.

Access & getting there
There are no huts or campsites recorded inside the block, and Omanawa River is not flagged for air access or WARO. Hunters will be working in on foot from a vehicle access point on the surrounding road network.
With a river running through the country, expect to be sidling steeper bush faces to and from the watercourse rather than glassing.
