HAPŪ, RESIDENTS WEIGH LEGAL ACTION OVER OPUA DEVELOPMENTHapū and locals of a small Bay of Islands town have vowed to fight a plan to build 17 houses on land they want protected for a public park. Hapū and locals of a small Bay of Islands town have vowed to fight a plan to build 17 houses on land they want protected for a public park. The commerical arm of the Far North council got consent for a housing development in November last year and in March sold the three hectare site at Opua to a private owner. Joining him in the battle to stop the development, was Te Kapotai hapū Māori Committee chair Peter Clark. "I would like to see the acknowledgement that the whenua be given back to its rightful owners who are wanting to work in a local partnership with all the local community to build it into a park, for the common use of the community - not to be sold off to some developers to make it ugly and make money from it."..... www.rnz.co.nz/news/te-manu-korihi/418527/hapu-residents-weigh-legal-action-over-opua-development
