The controversial proposed Tairua Skatepark is now the subject of a judicial review.

The action has been lodged in the High Court by Preserve Cory Park Domain Incorp, a society which represents the majority of property owners directly neighbouring the proposed skatepark site.

The review is against Thames Coromandel District Council.

The design plans for Tairua Skatepark were approved by Council at its April meeting, which also authorised a project team to proceed with procurement and construction.
