Auckland Council cracking down on drivers damaging dunes at Muriwai Beach

Muriwai Beach has long been a hot spot for 4-wheel drivers with a need for speed, Newshub reports. But now, the council is cracking down on those venturing onto the dunes and damaging vegetation. The rules dictate that drivers stick to the flat part of the beach but unfortunately one too many are being tempted by the dunes and the concern is they’ll cause irreparable damage. Drone vision shows how much of the dunes have already been damaged into what Auckland Council calls a sand wasteland.
