Iwi have made it clear they will fight it if this land is used for anything other than recreation as that is what it was permanently reserved for. The talk of combining Gate Pa & Arawa Park apparently is still a consideration, sticking a new complex at Paengaroa IMHO makes no sense at all regardless if they want public to attend or not https://www.sunlive.co.nz/news/283219-hospital-1500-homes-among-options-racecourse.html https://www.sunlive.co.nz/news/283621-bopdhb-give-details-on-racecourse-hospital-plans.html meomy 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
meomy 971 Report post Posted April 22, 2022 Meanwhile up in Northland, this is also going on. Neighbours want proposed 450m Dargaville Racecourse Development canned https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/ldr/463296/neighbours-want-proposed-450m-dargaville-racecourse-development-canned The Communities who have had their Racecourses targetted f.ro Housing should be banding together and take Legal action with those in their communities.

It's a timely reminder why we have ANZAC DAY and the role of Horses in the War eras. The education system is sick and those who fail to attend school to learn history need a kick up the pants.
