New marine gateway for Coromandel - Will it rejuvenate the township?

Reporter Hauraki Herald

Hi neighbours - Coromandel Marine Gateway plans to transform an estuary at the township and build a $40 million marina with a ferry service to Auckland, 16 marine-side apartments, and berths for charter vessels.

Conservation organisation Forest and Bird oppose the application, believing the project to be "environmentally damaging".

What are your thoughts? Do you think the marine gateway will bring a newfound rejuvenation into the township, or do you agree with Forest and Bird?
