Clear Message in Prosecution
"The recent prosecution and fining of two companies, Payne Sewell and Higgins Contractors Limited, for their involvement in knowingly damaging and destroying a burial area at Waikanae is a clear message that disregard of the law will not be tolerated," says Vivien Rickard, Central Region Manager for New Zealand Historic Places Trust.

Access to Albert Park tunnels included in new legislation that comes into
effect today
Exciting new developments will be able to take place in Auckland as a
result of three pieces of legislation that come into effect today, says the
Minister Assisting the Prime Minister with Auckland Issues, Judith Tizard.
The Auckland Improvement Trust Amendment Act enables the Auckland City
Council to develop the tunnel complex under Albert Park and Altern Rd
Reserve.
"This is an innovative piece of legislation that will allow amazing
enterprise to happen," says Judith Tizard, MP for Auckland Central, who
introduced three private members' bills on behalf of Auckland City Council.
The bills were passed last Wednesday.
"The Auckland Improvement Trust Amendment Act allows Auckland City Council
to explore, develop and reconstruct areas beneath Albert Park that include
historic air raid shelter complexes built during World War Two.
"Aucklanders will be able to understand better the concerns New Zealanders
had during the second World War, and the provisions that were made to
protect the citizens of Auckland. They will also get the chance to
understand the geology and formation of early Auckland, develop tourism
opportunities, and look at public transport options that could help to
reduce congestion in the inner-city."
