Mongrel Mob events will be allowed to continue atop of one of Hawke's Bay's top tourist destinations.

A meeting between gang leadership, Hastings Mayor Sandra Hazlehurst, police and the Te Mata Park Trust Board was called after a Mob event caused the top of the peak to be closed on Saturday May 5.

Hazlehurst described the meeting, which took place on Monday, as positive.

"This morning we had a very positive meeting with police, Te Mata Park Trust and leaders of the Mongrel Mob to see how we manage big gatherings at the top of Te Mata Peak going forward."

"We are all adamant that Te Mata Peak remains accessible for everyone in Hawke's Bay and our visitors.

"We focused on forming good management plans for future gatherings."

Hastings Mongrel Mob leader Rex Timu told Hawke's Bay Today last week, that the event was bigger than expected, due largely to families coming to the event.

He said they have been holding ceremonies on top of the Peak for about 20 years, but they are normally held at night when there a fewer members of the public around.

However, they had scheduled the ceremony earlier in the day due to members work commitments.
