Hundreds protest Auckland wharf extension

From Morning Report, 8:30 am on 11 March 2019

Hundreds of people gathered at Auckland's waterfront yesterday to protest against the council's plans to build a 90 metre long wharf extension into the Waitemata Harbour. The $14 million concret extension will allow huge cruise ships that now anchor in the harbour, to berth at Queen's Wharf. Groups opposing the plans say it will close off more space to the public - where the city meets the sea.
