Opponents of a marina on Waiheke took part in a hīkoi (march) to Auckland’s High Court before a hearing about a controversial injunction on Wednesday morning, Stuff reports. Protect Pūtiki, a Ngāti Pāoa-led group, has been protesting the Kennedy Point Marina at Pūtiki Bay since construction started last March. Protect Pūtiki member Maia Piata Rose Week said it was “heartbreaking” to see the developers taking over the bay. “They’re pushing the community out, they’re pushing mana whenua out and tāngata whenua out.”
