Advocating for our volcanic views
Claudia Page
On August 10 a delegation from Devonport Heritage went along to the monthly hui of the Tūpuna Maunga of Tāmaki Makaurau Authority to voice our concerns over the direction the Independent Hearings Panel is taking on Volcanic View-shafts and Height Sensitive Areas. These two mechanisms have been in place since the 1970s and have largely meant that important views of the volcanic landscape of Auckland have been preserved. Alongside this is the extremely high cultural value of the maunga ( mountains) to tangata whenua, with Co-governance of 14 Auckland Maunga now in place.
