Ngati Whatua to close Auckland's Okahu Bay for tribal event.

1394645 2015-02-19 23:27:00 If the Ngati Whatua tribe own Okahu Bay beach they have the right to control it, unless the Council rent it from them. mzee (3324)
1394646 2015-02-19 23:32:00 If they own and control it, then how much do they pay in rates? R2x1 (4628)
1394647 2015-02-19 23:47:00 Bit of a contradiction isn't it ?


A public notice in the East and Bays Courier says the beach will be closed to the public from 6am to 4pm


"It's not the intention of the family to close out the public. It [the beach] is always accessible to the public."

More like not closed to the selected ones.

1394649 2015-02-20 00:03:00 Say what you think about the process which gave them co ownership of the land.....they took co ownership in 1991, and are closing it for part of one day for an event. That seems fair enough to me, they do have co ownership, and part of one day in 24 years does't seem unreasonable to me. Nick G (16709)

Closed for 10 hours out of the 24 years or so they've had co control...and you're really going to take exception to them saying it's always accessible?

Very few always/never statements are 100% true, but this one is for all intents and purposes.

1394651 2015-02-20 00:14:00 Expect more of this crap as they flex their muscles. Next we will see the Auckland volcanoes closed for such things as well or a tall gate to go up them.. Stupid politicians for giving this stuff away just to get votes from them.. paulw (1826)
1394652 2015-02-20 00:25:00 Looks like sensationalist journalism to me, they have said it will be a flexible arrangement.
I doubt the will ask anyone who is respectful to their space to leave.

If they werent maori, it would be a total non issue .
Rednecks on parade, again.

Hey, who on this forum complains about our non access to streams & rivers on/through white owned farms?
Or access to beaches through white owned fenced up land ?
