The volcanic alert for Whaakari/White Island has been lowered to level one, however minor volcanic unrest continues on the island.
The decision is based on the "slowly decreasing" level of volcanic activity and observation of ash emissions ceasing, Geonet said in a statement.
"Alert level 1 indicates the primary hazards are those expected during volcanic unrest; steam discharge, volcanic gas, earthquakes, landslides and hydrothermal activity."
The island was previously at alert level two which indicated moderate to heightened volcanic unrest.
The volcano was moved into level two on July 26 and has been in a "period of heightened unrest above background activity levels since then," GNS Science duty volcanologist Yannik Behr told the Bay of Plenty Times.
