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.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
