She said the court application was discontinued because there were agreements in place which were “changed now”, and the group was not ruling out any further action against the development. A representative for Ian Cassels, who owns The Wellington Company and Shelly Bay Taikuru, which have recently received a green light from Wellington City councillors to develop the land, has been contacted for comment. While councillors voted 9-6 to sell and lease the land to Cassels for the development, there is an ongoing occupation at the site by Mau Whenua. Cassels earlier bought a much larger section of land for the development from iwi Taranaki Whānui, but the validity of that sale was to be challenged by Mau Whenua in the High Court. This would now no longer go ahead.
