Regional councillor fights for 'million-dollar' Porirua property
A scrap is brewing over a piece of “premium” public land in Porirua valued at more than $1 million, with the Porirua City Council up against a consortium led by Greater Wellington Regional councillor Chris Kirk-Burnnand.
He heads a group of five neighbours wanting to buy almost 6000 square metres of public land at Motukaraka Point, which has views over Pauatahanui Inlet and backs on to their properties.
The consortium values the property at $180,000 while the council has a valuation of $600,000.
A local real estate agent reckons it is worth over $1 million.
Have you seen Graham?
The 77-year-old was last seen by family at the Colonial Knob walkway near Porirua, on ‘The Doctor’ track, around 5:45pm.
He is potentially suffering dementia, and has difficulty hearing.
Graham is around 165cm tall, of slight build, wearing a blue puffer jacket and brown corduroy pants.
Police are in the area searching, but if you have any information that may help, please call 111 and quote event number P060575913.
