More public land access denied: investigation launched Guarantees that a coastal strip at the Wakakura block be kept in public ownership appear to have been reneged on. When the Crown-owned block went to Ngati Whatua as part of a treaty settlement, guarantees were made that a 20 metre marginal
strip would be set aside for the public as required by the Conservation Act. However a copy of the freehold land title obtained by Auckland councillor Chris Darby shows the land was tranfered to Whai Rewa Property Holdiings in 2011, but with the cov-
enant that the marginal strip sections of the Act did not apply. Darby described the title as a “great concern” and has asked council officers to launch an urgent investigation into the status of the coastal strip.
