It may pay to still keep a little distance from the crater area.

Mt Ngauruhoe crater off limits(Nzoom)
===========================
http://tvnz.co.nz/view/page/411749/742224People are being warned not to enter the crater of Mt Ngauruhoe in Tongariro National Park because its volcanic alert level has increased.
The last significant eruption at Ngauruhoe was in 1975, but it has had minor seismic activity since then.
Geonet says over the last few weeks there has been significant change in the number and magnitude of earthquakes being recorded by seismographs on the mountain.
The scientific alert level has been raised from zero to one which means there are some signs of unrest.
As a result the Department of Conservation is advising visitors to Ngauruhoe not to enter the crater area in case concentrations of volcanic gas have increased there
