UPDATE: Dove Myer Robinson Park was not the right site
2019-11-08 19:07:05Thank you for all your support to date.
Many of you will have read the NZ Herald this morning and we wanted to update you personally.

We embarked on this fact-finding process because things simply did not add up and when we asked questions of both Auckland Council and the Ministry of Culture and Heritage, we were brushed aside and dismissed.
When something doesn’t look or feel right – it usually isn’t.
What we now know that Dove Myer Robinson Park was not the right site for the proposed Erebus memorial.
A report commissioned by the Government recommended that the memorial be located elsewhere in Auckland.
The site failed to meet a number of criteria set.
The Government then ignored that advice and chose not to share that information with the Waitemata Local Board when they requested Landowner Approval.
We have provided all the facts to the Waitemata Local Board members and the CEO of the Auckland Council this week and asked them again to decline Landowner Approval.
We will be in contact again when we have more information to share.
