A single-lane bridge in and out of the Coromandel town of Tairua is vying for an advanced revamp under the Government’s Fast Track Approvals Bill.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort
Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.
