Deal sees Council wrest control of Hammerhead
The future of the Hammerhead as a public space and key transport link looks bright thanks to a deal done recently by Council.
Local councillors, from left, John Watson and Wayne Walker, say it is a satisfying end to a 20-year battle.
A deal between Auckland Council and Gulf Harbour Investments (GHIL) has removed the threat of a commercial ‘right to lease’ over the Hammerhead land at the end of Gulf Harbour marina, enabling greater investment in the public recreation and transport hub.
The ‘right to lease’, held by GHIL but never actually taken up, has been an ongoing sore point for decades. Since Rodney District Council days, there has been strong opposition to losing public control over the land, and stories in this newspaper to alert residents to proposals discussed under a cloak of confidentiality.
