A restaurant planned for Long Bay Regional Park will now not go ahead after two discoveries of koiwi or pre-European bones and other bone tools were found at the site. Out of respect for the cultural significance of the site Auckland Council, local iwi, Heritage New Zealand and the existing restaurant licensee have agreed to cease development of the new establishment.
Work originally stopped two months after redevelopment started on the site in May 2013 after the first bones were uncovered. Photo: Stuff.
