From Morning Report, 8:57 am on 27 June 2024

New Zealand's first Surf Park facility has been given the green light to be built on Auckland's North Shore, after getting resource consent from the Environment Ministry. The 43-hectare facility marked for Dairy Flat is set to begin construction later this year. The project is expected to cost about 100 million dollars. The Surf Park will be the first of its kind to be powered by renewable energy. Surf lover and former All Black Sir john Kirwan who heads the project spoke to Corin Dann.
