Ugly edifice waiting to happen

At last we have details of the misguided souls said to be actually driving the Wakamania - namely Tuskany Mainstreet management, council-controlled organisation Bay Venues Limited, Priority One and the TCC project manager with the usual suspects, Gate Pa zealots and Museumites probably directing operations from behind the scenes.

All these outfits have direct or indirect Tauranga City Council ratepayers' funding so we as ratepayers are already paying for any assessment of this aberration through the payment of these peoples' wages, retainers, contracts, etc.

This 75m x 16m x 6m piece of Auckland flotsam will simply overshadow and overpower the Strand Reclamation as an ugly edifice. The thing is not wanted in Auckland or San Francisco and we don't want or need it reconstructed here on Tauranga public reserve land either.

If someone wants to go private, on private land with private moneys, after obtaining the appropriate RMA/building consents and an earthquake /OSH clearance then go for it with a blessing… From all the acerbic comments I have seen, 95 per cent of commentators don't want this dross in our backyard so stop spending any TCC money willy nilly on this non-event. What don't those involved with this promotion understand about the word ‘no'?
