Rodney Green Party Candidate, Graham Evans,  warns...

Development brings up more issues. 
This time Te Arai - Mangawai

Development and the 'fantasy plans' of days of endless profit are one thing, the endless stretching of roads, power provision, and infrastructure are another. 

There are many questions regarding developments and it is only when the nature of any development is discussed directly with the community (people upon who the immediate impact of development will impact at first) can  those  questions be approached with more than just a nod and a wink  towards justice.

Erosion of an environment is generally accepted as being accomplished over a long long period of time and by some natural means, glaciers, rivers, desert winds and the like.
Development by its nature has managed to avoid the 'erosion' label by camouflage under the banner of 'progress'.

The Te Arai Beach protection society is holding a public meeting Monday 11 April.

Their focus is on issues related to zoning provision , in Mangawai. The contact person for this new Group is Jane de Witt, their website is going with the address

... and I say good voice to you Te Arai.
