Long Bay Okura Great Park

DAVID GATWARD

David Gatward passed away on 27th November 2006.

Over the last ten years David had fought for the vision of a Great Park at Long Bay / Okura for the people of the greater Auckland region and had become the central driving force leading the effort as the Society's Convenor until his ill-health last year. Without David's leadership the Great Park cause would not be where it is today. The Society is dedicated to continue the fight in David's memory.

We will remember David as a visionary, a leader a teacher and a friend.

Long Bay - Okura Great Park Society.

About Us
The society was formed in 1996 to convince local, regional and central government to work together with us for the creation of a 1,000 acre Great Park at Long Bay - Okura in North Auckland. This area currently has over 1.3 million visitors per year.

The society has a financial membership of about 800.

We welcomed the acquisition by the North Shore City Council of additional reserve land at the northern end of the area but are seriously concerned about the enevitable degradation that would result from residential and commercial developemnt along the boundary of the remaining ARC Regional Reserve. Our efforts are concentrated on saving the existing rural aspect and environmental values of the present parkland.
