Mount Maunganui
Mount Maunganui (Māori pronunciation: [ˈmaʉŋaˌnʉi], locally ) is a major residential, commercial and industrial suburb of Tauranga located on a peninsula to the north-east of Tauranga's city centre. It was an independent town from Tauranga until the completion of the Tauranga Harbour Bridge in 1988, which connects Mount Maunganui to Tauranga's central business district. Mount Maunganui is also the name of the large lava dome which was formed by the upwelling of rhyolite lava about two to three million years ago. It is officially known by its Māori name Mauao, but is colloquially known in New Zealand simply as The Mount.The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "large mountain" for Maunganui.
