Whakapapa lessons and a petition with more signatures than residents were presented to councillors to try and save Kāwhia Harbour from “eggs” doing donuts and creating their own trails on the beloved beach.
The Ōtorohanga District Council was left with a lot to ponder after its meeting on Tuesday, where a delegation of concerned members of Te Taiao o Kāwhia Moana made their feelings known.
