Anti-marina group demonstrates outside Auckland Council, demands work to stop

Speaking through a megaphone on the steps of the tower, Protect Pūtiki spokeswoman Emily Māia Weiss said the bay was a taonga, or treasure.
To have council agree for it to be privatised was a “huge insult to tāngata whenua”, she said.
It allows the developer to build a 180-berth marina, a floating car park and other amenities at Kennedy Point.
But Weiss said a consent being legal “doesn’t mean it’s right”.

Protectors are concerned the construction work could harm the little blue penguins at the bay.
Those opposing the marina are also concerned construction work could harm the kororā, little blue penguins, nesting in the rock breakwater.
