Parties for and against Waiheke Island s controversial Kennedy Point Marina are meeting today after tensions rose when construction started last month and concern was raised about kororā (little blue penguins) in the area. Karen Saunders, a native bird rehabilitator and Native Bird Rescue general manager, opposes plans for the 186-berth scheme at Putaki Bay, Kennedy Point, but said hopes the meeting might clarify issues.

Fears the home of a little blue penguin colony on Waiheke Island could be a victim of a controversial development have infuriated some island locals.
It comes after a fight against marine developers, with mana whenua iwi Ngāti Pāoa who have been camping at the site, to oppose Tony Mair s 186-berth marina proposal for Putiki Bay Kennedy Point.

Plans to develop Waiheke Island s first marina are opposed by Māori as well as rich-lister Bruce Plested, chairman and founder of Mainfreight with a $6.8 billion market capitalisation. It s a disgrace, a kind of madness, quite extreme. It s grotesque if you see what they re trying to do, Plested said of Tony Mair s 186-berth marina proposal for Putiki Bay, Kennedy Point.
Ngāti Pāoa iwi members have also been camping at the site where Mair s business began development in early March. Those iwi members are also vowing to stop the scheme, citing the kaupapa of the moana.
