Memorial to honour Erebus crash victims approved.
A national memorial to remember the victims of the Erebus disaster will be built almost 41 years after the disaster.
Members of the Waitematā Local Board have voted to support plans for the controversial memorial at Dove Myer Robinson Park, also known as the Parnell Rose Gardens.
The project has drawn opposition from residents of the central Auckland suburb, who believe the memorial is not suited for the park.
Steel walls rise on either side of the path, with 257 snowflakes carved into one of the walls to represent each life lost in the 1979 plane crash.
