Four-wheel-drivers ignoring rules, damaging Waimakariri beaches
Local authorities plan to come down hard on people driving vehicles around the sand dunes along the Waimakariri coast.
District council community projects officer Mike Kwant says people are still flouting the rules, despite the council's best intentions.
"We continue to be disappointed by the number of vehicle owners driving in the sand dunes of our beaches, especially Pines Beach.
"We have also suffered ongoing vandalism of fences put in place to protect both this natural environment and the safety and enjoyment of visitors," he says.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
