Whangamata Marina to go ahead

Whangamata people will mainly be celebrating tonight as has not over-turned the decision in favour of the marina. Chris Carter did veto it, but was found by the High Court to have exceeded his powers. is a fairly large slap in the face for him.

It's still ridiculous though that it has taken 14 years and cost $1.5 million just to gain consent. 's plans to remove the Ministerial power to over-turn the Environment Court is a step in the right decision.
