Waiheke community vows Kennedy Point marina fight 'ain’t over yet'

Reporter Reporter from Central Leader

Kia ora neighbours,

Opponents of the marina at Kennedy Point have vowed to continue their fight, even as construction at Pūtiki Bay gathers pace.

Hundreds packed the Ostend War Memorial Hall on Sunday, with Whaea Kathryn Ngapo​ opening with a statement that became the theme of the afternoon: “It ain’t over yet”.

The meeting closed a week when tensions flared at the beach occupation. On Thursday, police descended on the beach and three protesters were arrested.

Ngā uri o Ngāti Pāoa (descendents of Ngāti Pāoa) are the force behind the occupation and the 15,000-strong petition for Council and government to instigate a review of the consent.
