Should the proposed marina on Waiheke Island get the green light?
Construction on Waiheke Island's Kennedy Point marina is to continue after an out of court settlement was made between campaigners and developers.
Four years of court proceedings have been withdrawn by Save Kennedy Point (SKP), after Kennedy Point Boatharbour Limited said they would put the welfare of a little blue penguin colony front of mind.
As part of the settlement, the developers have agreed to forgo all recent costs orders made against SKP and to not seek further costs from them.
SKP was facing bills of almost $250,000 sought by the developers and Auckland Council.
In more recent developments, the group has announced they will hīkoi to Parliament to deliver a petition asking Environment Minister David Parker take the case back to the Environment Court.
The petition, which already has 8500 signatures, was started by Uri o Ngāri Pāoa, who are occupying the beach at Kennedy Point.

A new bridge costing $685 million is to be built for walkers and cyclists crossing Auckland’s Waitematā Harbour.
It is hoped construction can begin mid-2022, in a plan unveiled just five days after cycling lobbyists broke through a police barrier and rode over the existing Harbour Bridge, demanding action.
Transport Minister Michael Wood said once begun, the new structure is expected to take five years to complete, and work will continue on interim use of existing harbour bridge lanes for cycling and walking.
“A stand-alone structure is the safest option that will not only provide a walking and cycling option for commuters but creates an outstanding piece of tourism infrastructure,” said Wood.

Having worked in Aged Care for several years, Suzette’s favourite thing about her work has remained the same – giving back to those who’ve done so much for Aotearoa.
“Our residents have a lifetime of knowledge and have worked hard in often difficult times. I see it as such a privilege to be in a position to lead a team of people who are passionate about caring for them.”
Suzette’s recipe for great care is simple. “Great care means meeting a resident’s daily needs with empathy and warmth – to deliver the kind of care that anyone would want their Mum or Dad to have.”
She’s excited to take on a new challenge in our vibrant village beside Orakei Basin. “Meadowbank is a beautiful site– it’s a place anyone would feel proud to live in and a place families enjoy visiting.
Our Care Suites provide a feeling of independence within the comfort and security of exceptional 24/7, round-the-clock care.” And her vision for Meadowbank goes beyond brick and mortar.
“The heart of it is the people – staff who provide empathy and love, and residents who live their years to the fullest.”
To learn more about our Care Suites with Rest Home and Hospital level care, get in touch with Suzette today.

David South is one of the Fab Four acts along with Burn The Bridges, Marianne Leigh and Zoe Scott on the excellent line-up of performers for Live Out East – Concert 2 – a fundraising event in aid of Auckland City Mission, at Uxbridge Theatre at Uxbridge Arts and Culture, Howick, on Friday, June 18.
We’ll be talking with Davey Joe South from 4pm on She’ll Be Right. Before coming to NZ, he was an active member of the Liverpool scene – his band Cardello sharing the Bandwagon stage with the likes of The Coral, The Zutons, The Libertines, and The Stands.
He co-wrote modern musical Home with Zutons’ original guitarist, Boyan Chowdhury. He continues to write prolifically and looks toward his first Kiwi EP in late 2021.
Auckland four-piece (with keys) Burn the Bridges play earthly, rhythmically-driven songs in the country-rock-blues-roots domain, and have a superb new EP out at www.burnthebridges.co.nz.... Home has four tracks free to play. It’s worth the journey.
Marianne Leigh, at 18, has already turned ears, winning Smokefree Rockquest and Play It Strange music competition prizes for songwriting and performance. She’s been mentored by Bic Runga, and more recently Jamie McDell, for show Uke Can Do It, on TVNZ on Demand.
