Fiona Anderson: Piha campground manager on the ground reopening over summer

The manager of a popular West Auckland campground is claiming a win with its short-term future being saved.

The Waitakere Ranges Local Board will again let people camp overnight at Piha Domain, despite the area being a high flood hazard environment.

It has updated its monitoring and warning systems, occupancy restrictions, evacuation procedures and reporting requirements - with a long-term plan being decided next year.

Fiona Anderson told Kerre Woodham the community has pulled together to make this happen.

She says the phone has been ringing constantly this morning, and the bookings are now flooding in.
