Aotea iwi fight helipad applications

From Morning Report, 8:26 am on 24 February 2022

Māori on Aotea Great Barrier Island have told the Auckland Council to stop helipads being put in, and to start taking them seriously as kaitiaki.

But the council says the complete absence of sites of significance to mana whenua on the island in its plans, shuts the hapū, out of the loop.
