Vaughans Rd & Piripiri Pt Drive
Long Bay is a very busy regional park, with over 1.3million visitors per annum coming from all over Auckland. Indeed, it is such a popular destination and the demand from a growing population so strong, that ongoing extensions to the Long Bay Park are important, if we are to provide for future generations in the same way our forbearers did for us.
Therefore, the Long Bay Okura Great Park Society believes that Council should buy the land that is for sale at Piripiri Point, at the end of Vaughans Road. This 7.06ha of land is zoned Piripiri Point Protection Area and most of it is designated Outstanding Natural Landscape. It could be amalgamated into the Long Bay Regional Park and would thus protect the Outstanding Landscape Area of the whole park. It would also provide access from Vaughans Road to Grannies Bay and Pohutukawa Bay, and also significant extensions to the recreational track network in the Park.

World Ocean Day
Every year on the 8th of June, we celebrate World Ocean Day.
But why is it so important? The oceans are the lifeblood of this planet. They cover over 70% of the Earth's surface, regulate the climate, provide us with food and resources, and are home to an extraordinary amount of biodiversity.
World Ocean Day serves as a global reminder that the oceans face more threats now than at any other time in history. Plastic pollution, overfishing, deep sea and seabed mining, and climate change are all taking a toll. This day is a chance to raise awareness about these dangers and inspire action.
At the Long Bay Great Park Society we work to protect our local marine reserve and preserve it for future generations.
