Show Notes

There's slim options for Takapuna Golf Course, which looks likely to halve in size under an Auckland Council plan to turn it into a flooding wetland.

The Council's final proposal converts the course into a flood-protection area.

Public consultation is planned for later this year, including how to use the dry half. 

Auckland Council Head of Sustainable Partnership, Tom Mansell, says they don't want golf in the wetland section.

"In the remaining area, if they can fit an 18-hole in and that's what the Kaipātiki board wants, then we'll work on that."
