Outfall draws a storm of protest
NINETY Forest and Bird members from Te Puke and Tauranga, plus local residents, staged a beach protest over the proposed
stormwater outfall at Papamoa. The 1200mm drain would be in the middle of an area designated as wilderness by the Tauranga District Council and would create an eyesore along the unspoilt beach.
A petition was sent to the District Council asking it to consider other options for stormwater disposal, including re-creating the natural drainage system which existed behind the beachfront, or for the outfall
to be put underground at an area of the beach zoned for development.
