Thames-Coromandel District Council aims to get a skatepark built in Tairua, and Aucklanders have voiced disapproval.
The Auckland Marist Brothers Rugby Club have urged members to write in opposing it to help out their holiday home-owning benefactor.
Tairua Sport and Recreation Trust chair Jacqui Gage-Brown is 'unsurprised', as the community has faced pressure over construction of the skate park for the last 30 years.
"They were probably trying to please a sponsor and the benefit for them was going to be some cash involved. So, a bit of oversight and a bit of error, bit of a bad call on their behalf."Â
