The hearing comes in the wake of Kaipara Ltd’s application to renew its consent to extract two million cubic metres of sand offshore from Pakiri and Mangawhai over 20 years.

She thinks almost 100 years of sand mining off Pakiri Beach, north of Auckland, has caused the shore s sand and the dunes to slump into the holes and trenches left by dredging. To visitors, Pakiri Beach still looks like a slice of paradise; a long, empty arc of white sand extending from the Pakiri to Mangawhai. For locals like Haddon, there s worry.
