Auckland Business Chamber boss Michael Barnett questions why the Cornwall Park Trust is pursuing rent hikes against the likes of the ASB Showgrounds "unless they have another agenda".
The non-profit showgrounds board has warned it
is struggling to see how the 8ha non-profit exhibition and events site can remain solvent in the face of a massive proposed rent hike by its landlord, the Cornwall Park Trust, and a string of major event cancellations due to Covid-19.

Ruahine School's Crazy Chickens beat 15 other teams to win the East Coast AgriKids Competition at the Hawke's Bay Showgrounds on Saturday, February 13, run in conjunction with the East Coast Young Farmer Competition.
The team comprised Riley Finucane, 12, Georgie Hogan, 11, and Gemma Barrow, 11, and were very surprised with their win as they came only fifth in the final runoff but they had such good scores in the preceding modules they finished on top.
