Centennial Park Bush Society urgently needs volunteer legal advice. The Urban Development Bill, which seeks to fast-track planning consents for large scale residential developments, casts uncertainty over the future of Auckland’s recreational land. In particular, it is unclear whether Campbells Bay’s Centennial Reserve, one of Auckland’s oldest and largest Crown-owned reserves, is absolutely protected from acquisition and development under the bill. The long-established Centennial Park Bush Society manages and protects the reserve’s wildlife, its bush blocks and unique areas of regenerating native forest for the recreational benefit of all Aucklanders and for future generations of Aucklanders. The Society urgently needs voluntary legal advice regarding the status of this reserve under the proposed legislation. Can you help us save and protect this environmental and recreational taonga?
