So it begins at Ihumatao
So it begins at Ihumatao

Fletcher Building may this morning shut an Auckland road which leads to the contested South Auckland housing estate.
Fletcher has the right to build 480 homes on the site, despite years of protest, land occupation and legal challenges.
Opponents maintain the land is historically and culturally significant, but the courts have disagreed.
Fletcher Building says it needs to close Ihumatao Quarry Road before development work begins for health and safety reasons.
It says it will allow utilities to be installed, road upgrade works to be carried out and heavy equipment to be moved onto the land.
