My Account
Being Mike the Manly Butcher for 16 years, Mike the Manly Fireman for 13 years, a resident on the coast since 1978 and the father of three teenagers, I have seen a lot of change on the Hibiscus Coast. My family connection to the Coast goes back to the 1950s. I have been active in lots of sports clubs on the Coast, as well as volunteering at Shakespear Park for many years.
What issues are you concerned about?
Hammerhead must stay as an area for all to use. I don’t want to see this lease go to a private investor to line there pockets and shut out the public so we can’t use this area or have to pay to use it.
Archers Bush must be protected as much as possible especially when Penlink gets put through. This bush is of special interest as it has the original track for the first settlers when the boats came up the Wade River.
Penlink must go through. This will alleviate congestion on Whangaparaoa Road. Whangaparaoa Road needs widening and a better connecting bus service. Helping the Peninsula become pest free and making a safe haven for bird life.
