Mount Burnett, Mountain summit near Collingwood, Golden Bay / Mohua, New Zealand

Mount Burnett is a 641-metre hill in Golden Bay / Mohua that stands surrounded by, but outside, Kahurangi National Park. It gives its name to the Burnett Range, which forms the north-west border of the Aorere River valley; an unnamed 678-metre peak in the range is higher. The locality at its foot on the Aorere flats is Ferntown, and Collingwood lies to the south-east.

European settlers found deposits of materials useful for making hydraulic cement near the mountain in the 1880s, which led to the establishment of cement works in Ferntown. This industrial development shaped the region's economy for decades.

Mount Burnett lies outside Kahurangi National Park, excluded when the park was formed in 1996 because of the dolomite mining interests. The open-cast mine, operated by the local Golden Bay company Sollys, is New Zealand's only source of dolomite, an agricultural fertiliser, and employs about 20 people. Mining is opposed by groups including Forest & Bird.

Mount Burnett lies outside Kahurangi National Park, so park rules do not apply to the summit itself; the dolomite mine on its slopes is private working ground operated by Sollys. The locality at its foot, Ferntown, sits on the Aorere River flats, and Collingwood, the nearest sizeable town, is to the south-east.

The mountain provides habitat for Powelliphanta gilliesi gilliesi, a critically endangered giant land snail found only there. These large snails play an important role in the local forest ecosystem.
