Marina Developer Focused On Future After Today’s Supreme Court Decision
Thursday, 6 May 2021, 1:15 pm Press Release: SKP Inc
The Supreme Court has again today denied a bid to stop
construction of Waiheke’s Kennedy Point
Marina.
Opposition group, SKP
Incorporated, asked the Supreme Court last week to recall
their 27 April decision not to grant their application for
leave to appeal a decision of the High Court.
The High
Court (June 2020), Court of Appeal (December 2020), and now
the Supreme Court again, have all refused to allow SKP to
challenge the Environment Court’s original
decision.
Tony Mair, Kennedy Point Marina, Project
Director said; “The project has met all consent
requirements. We have had our position further validated by
last week’s Supreme Court ruling and now again by
today’s confirmation of that ruling.
“We have the
full support of our growing number of berth holders as well
as a large number of Waiheke residents and we are looking
forward to making Kennedy Point Marina one that all New
Zealanders can feel proud
of.”
