Poll: What would you like to see happen at Whitianga's wharf?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

With summer hordes about to descend on the Coromandel, one of the region’s busiest wharfs is set for an upgrade as Whitianga grapples with juggling growing tourist numbers alongside commercial and charter boats.

However, between the cost of $12.5 million for a new pier, a controversial plan to move a waterfront playground in favour of trailer parking and perhaps also the wellbeing of local sealife, not everyone is chuffed with the plan.
