Northern Regional Council Meeting — 22 April 2025

Members of Bream Bay Guardians attended the NRC meeting held at the Waipu Surf Club this month to express our opposition to the application.

We were delighted to see so many community members come along to let the Council know the facts.

We wanted to share our presentation with a wider audience below.

We were represented at the meeting by Malcolm Morrison and Pamela Tindall on behalf of Bream Bay Guardians and by Brenda Leeuwenberg on behalf of Concerned Citizens against Bream Bay Sand Mining, who presented the petition signed by over 15,000 people opposing McCallums application.
