Asbestos found at Hokitika's Sunset Point after council encouraged dumping
Material used to help save Hokitika's Sunset Point from erosion is not cleanfill, a report has found.
Contractors have been dumping material on Hokitika Spit for the last two years as part of a project to restore the popular tourist spot and save it from being washed away by the sea.
West Coast Regional Council launched an investigation in August after polystyrene and plastic were found at the site.
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.
