This is pretty interesting. Pakiri is one of my favorite places in NZ.
“The multimillion beachfront property at the centre of a struggle between David Tua and his former managers is to become Auckland’s newest regional park.
The boxer, who had a shot at the world title in 2000, yesterday congratulated the Auckland Regional Council for closing a $10.25 million deal to buy the 51ha of prime Pakiri land.

Hopefully it won’t lead to too many more people showing up and spoiling the place.
