Shelly Bay, on Miramar Peninsula in Wellington, has caused all manner of strife as developers push to turn it into a $500 million development.
Iwi members fighting to overturn the sale of Shelly Bay land have been dealt a “bitter blow”, after a major funder linked to the film industry pulled $2 million that was bankrolling their legal battle.
Mau Whenua, a group comprising Taranaki Whānui members who did not support selling the land, said in a statement on Thursday that it was exploring alternative options for raising about $2.2m to continue the case. The group warned it may not be able to continue.
