Yesterday it finished in the Environment Court with a ruling that the South Coast is not an appropriate place for an Aquarium. In that time I was supported only by Cr David Zwartz. In 2004 I was joined by Cr Jack Ruben in my opposition. This proposal divided the community. While the political battle was raging and we were overwhelmed by a developer friendly Council, Save Te Rae Kai Hau Point was formed. It was this group that in the end won the day. islandbay marineeducationcentre places issues people blogs election-candiates-2010 elections2010 local-body-elections councillors government Fri, 21 Sep 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://pepptalknz.blogspot.com/2007/09/save-point-has-won-in-environment-court.html Bryan Pepperell - Back To The Future 2007-09-21T00:00:00Z -41.3322495 174.7716525 Island Bay, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, New Zealand/Aotearoa http://pepptalknz.blogspot.com/2007/05/te-rae-kai-hau-point-keep-it-natural.html This is my seventh year in the battle to Save Te Rae Kai Hau Point. As seven is a special number I see this as a positive year to do things. It has been seven years where many people have played a part in opposing the shameful proposed Marine Education Centre ( Fish Zoo and Cafe) on this wonderful piece of natural heritage. marineeducationcentre issues people blogs election-candiates-2010 elections2010 local-body-elections councillors government Tue, 08 May 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://pepptalknz.blogspot.com/2007/05/te-rae-kai-hau-point-keep-it-natural.html Bryan Pepperell - Back To The Future 2007-05-08T00:00:00Z http://pepptalknz.blogspot.com/2007/03/save-te-rae-kai-hau-point-2007.html The $22 m cost of this project(the fish zoo) continues to escalate due to its proposed location at Te Rae Kai Hau Point and the need to protect the building from the relentless force of the sea. Not only will ratepayers be press-ganged into paying the inevitable shortfalls and ongoing costs, we will lose our precious natural heritage to so called environmentalists. marineeducationcentre issues people blogs election-candiates-2010 elections2010 local-body-elections councillors government Sat, 10 Mar 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://pepptalknz.blogspot.com/2007/03/save-te-rae-kai-hau-point-2007.html Bryan Pepperell - Back To The Future 2007-03-10T00:00:00Z http://pepptalknz.blogspot.com/2006/08/save-te-raekaihau-point.html Come and help the Save the Point Group raise funds for their legal battle against the destruction of an iconic headland on our South Coast by joining them for a glass of wine and the chance to view the movie from the Wellington Film Festival everyone is talking about, AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH. marineeducationcentre issues people blogs election-candiates-2010 elections2010 local-body-elections councillors government Sun, 13 Aug 2006 00:00:00 GMT http://pepptalknz.blogspot.com/2006/08/save-te-raekaihau-point.html Bryan Pepperell - Back To The Future 2006-08-13T00:00:00Z
