NGĀTI WHĀTUA ŌRĀKEI OPPOSES PANUKU DEVELOPMENT AUCKLAND’S AMERICA’S CUP RESOURCE CONSENT APPLICATIONS
Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei has confirmed it is opposing Panuku Development Auckland’s “America’s Cup 36” and “America’s Cup – Ferry and Fishing Industry Relocation” resource consent applications.

The group is eager to support the America’s Cup and ensure Maori maximise the significant opportunities the event will bring, ranging from jobs in the sailing industry through to supply of goods and services.....
