Long Bay and Okura are Under Threat Again!

Send your feedback on the Unitary Plan to
Auckland Council by 5pm 31^st May

All that we have fought for through the Environment Court could be lost if the draft Unitary Plan is not changed.

The draft Unitary Plan makes much of what we have fought for null and void. If we do not act now, everything we have achieved so far may be lost.

The Unitary Plan reduces the 105 pages of the Long Bay Structure Plan to just 12 and has no specific provisions for Okura. In the process it removes critical protection for:

The outstanding landscape of the Long Bay Regional Park
The Long Bay – Okura Marine Reserve
The Heritage Protection Area
Ecologies and native bush of the Vaughans Stream
