“I think the amount of visitors’ campervans in waterfront parking lots is an issue.
As locals you can’t park there anymore.
One time I counted 25 campers on a Sunday. We couldn’t even use the car park, vehicles had to park all the way up the side of the street.”

“For me, the main issue is definitely the state of the roads.
There aren’t enough to deal with the volume of traffic that will be coming to Snells Beach in the future and upgrades are needed.
The fact that more subdivisions are going in is only going to make it worse, too.”

“I think a big issue is the seasonal nature of customers in Snells Beach.
After being here for just a year, I can already see how businesses are negatively affected over the winter period.
I also think we need more accommodation available to help gain more visitors into the area.”

“I think an issue will be that Snells Beach is going to turn into a mini Whangaparaoa with only one way in and one way out for the traffic.
We can already see over the Christmas and holiday periods that the traffic is backing right up.
Locals can’t get around and do what they need to do with the influx of people.”
