Our judicial review hearing is next week - come along and support us if you can.
28 November 2023The countdown is on to our judicial review hearing at the Auckland High Court, starting at 10 am on Tuesday the 5th of December.
The half-day hearing will focus on our request for the High Court to “quash” (cancel) the resource consent Auckland Council granted Tupuna Maunga Authority in 2021 permitting it to fell 278 of Ōtāhuhu Mt Richmond’s exotic trees. Without that resource consent, the Authority cannot cut them down. The Judicial Review claim alleges Auckland Council acted unlawfully in granting that resource consent without first giving the public an opportunity to object or comment.
Members of the public are welcome to attend and we would love to have supporters come along and watch (but please, no placards or protest action).
Thanks to everyone who has donated to support our judicial action.
Unfortunately we are short of our goal so please encourage friends and family to donate - every bit counts!
Respect Mt Richmond Ōtāhuhu community.
Shirley Waru.
