The 12-year campaign to keep New Chum Beach from developers
environment court 32 minutes ago
New Chum beach is one of the last undeveloped beaches in the Coromandel - with access only provided by a walking track. For the last 12 years, a group of locals have been fighting to keep it that way by protesting against a planned 25-house development. This week the fight hits the courts and campaigners Phil Keoghan (yes, Phil Keoghan from the Amazing Race) and Preserve New Chum For Everyone chair John Drummond.
