seems to me that the locals think that they own the beach and would like to only let their own friends on to it watch out picnicers they will stop you takeing your chilly bin down next mabey thay wont to clean up the beach them selves?

I too live overseas but do not believe NZ needs to mimic other countries No to the stall. DOC get it right preserve the beauty of our whenua. We do not want then at Cape Rienga we do not need them on the Coromandel.

This guy pays to be there,and cleans up the beach,which would otherwise be cleaned up by DOC staff,at a cost to you..Us.. personally I think its most likely cleaner now he is there than before,surely DOC doesn't send a worker there every day,just to clean the beach of rubbish...This is a great idea,good on you DOC.

Is this what the future holds for some of Aotearoa's iconic coastlines and beaches??? That i guess is what everyone wonders?..... Personally i prefer to keep it all to a minimum... Once you start crossing certain lines where does the line finish?...

Yeah I agree, as long as he leaves the beach clean and tidy, let him go for it.Too many knockers in this country.

Give the guy a break, people are always quick to knock someone who is enterprising. He leaving the beach cleaner than before. Would you rather he was on the dole? Sounds like he has gone through all the right channels and can not be accused of being a hawker. As long as they limit it to one stand.
