Auckland Mayor Phil Goff says full consultation was made with iwi and mana whenua as protesters occupy the pā site of Mataharehare where an Erebus memorial is planned.
Occupants who oppose the memorial at Auckland s Dove-Myer Robinson Park have put up signs at the Parnell site.
But Goff said full consultation was made with Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei over the memorial, which would pay tribute to the 237 passengers and 20 crew killed when an Air New Zealand flight crashed into Mt Erebus in Antarctica in 1979.

It comes as concern mounts over some churches defying lockdown rules and spreading misinformation about the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Ministry of Transport says it d be overstepping its boundaries to comment on Ports of Auckland s controversial and prolonged container terminal automation project - but it sounds happy to stick its nose in.
