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

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
31.4% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
67.1% No, I enjoy it
-
1.4% Other - I'll share below
