A battle has broken out in Whangamatā over whether Williamson Park should host commercial concerts.
A past concert organiser says uncontrolled, unticketed events will lead to the unruly behaviour Whangamatā experienced in the past.
However, many locals want to keep the security fences and noise levels down, and leave the park open for the public to use.

Many people setting up paddling pools for their children this summer will be breaking the law - are you one of them?
Any pool, fixed or portable, deeper than 400mm is now subject to safety provisions under the Building Act, meaning there a quite a few rules you probably aren't even aware of.
For example, do you have a 1.2-metre fixed childproof fence with a self-closing gate opening outwards?
What are your thoughts on paddling pool safety? If faced with an inspection, would your pool set-up pass? Do you think all these rules are essential? What are your tips for setting up a paddling pool safely?
