Help finance the High Court case to stop the mass privatisation and divestment of public land assets and wealth

Auckland wide, well-used, well-loved assets, essential to community wellbeing, are being dishonestly reclassified as 'surplus land' in order to privatise the assets against the public interests.

At least six Takapuna public properties, representing hundreds of millions worth of public wealth are also at immediate risk of disposal, due to a decision of 12 councillors; at prices potentially well below market value; and with most cash divested, due to be transferred out of the community. We will lose it all.

Investigating this case has uncovered a sophisticated mass divestment of public land assets across Auckland, with billions in public wealth due to be lost to privatisation.

The public are losing essential services provided by these assets such as car parking, open space, pocket parks, buildings meant for community centres, etc. We are losing most of the cash divested from sale and we are losing the potential for this public land to be developed to enhance public amenities and increase public quality of life.

The primary beneficiaries are private developers, new private owners and the council taking cash, which contradicts the intent behind the acquisition of public land, which is often built up by generations of hard working, community families and businesses, with purpose to provide community value, not to be taken for indiscriminate external financing or external profits.

Help us finance the High Court Judicial Review scheduled for a 3 day hearing on August 13th - 16th 2018, to stop Auckland Council from selling the 9000 square meter public land asset, at the heart of Takapuna, which is currently home to the main Takapuna car park and the iconic sunday markets.

The development of this land will define the future quality of our city and it should not be traded to private developers to build new privately owned buildings and for Auckland Council to divest revenue to finance their budget that they could instead reduce.

This legal case has evolved since October 2017, to argue that this mass disposal of public land assets in Takapuna is unlawful and to request that the 12 Elected Members who disposed of democracy with their vote to dispose of our public asset ownership and use, against the public majority and against the local board; have violated multiple laws and should be ousted from office.

The hearing in August is the communities last opportunity to protect our wealth, ownership and asset use that has unlimited potential to enhance public value, if developed for public benefit.
