Campaign for a public buy back of New Chum/Wainuiototo beach

From Afternoons, 1:52 pm on 12 November 2021

Thirty hectares of the beautiful New Chum/Wainuiototo beach is for sale by tender, and a Givealittle campaign is underway for the public to buy it.

The beach is on the northeast coast of the Coromandel Peninsula - near Whangapoua.

Linda Cholmondeley Smith from the group Preserve New Chum for Everyone! talks to Jesse about how much they need to raise.
