Save Sandspit Holiday Park Petition

For decades, Sandspit Holiday Park has been a cherished getaway for families, a vital part of the local community, and a key contributor to our local economy. Its potential closure not only threatens these integral connections but the very fabric of our community's identity. Sandspit is more than just a park; it's a sanctuary and a beloved getaway. It offers all park users and visitors a place where happiness, connection, and mental well-being are fostered. 

The recent decision by Auckland Council and the Rodney Local Board to not advance a new lease for Sandspit Holiday Park was made without sufficient consultation of those most affected. Such a significant decision deserves transparency, open dialogue, and a fair process that includes the voices of park owners, leaseholders, residents, and the broader community. This petition calls on Auckland Council and the Rodney Local Board to provide a transparent explanation of its decision and to engage meaningfully with all stakeholders involved. 

The loss of Sandspit Holiday Park would also lead to a marked decrease in visitor spending, directly impacting local shops, cafes, and businesses that thrive on the patronage generated by visitors. This economic ripple effect could have far-reaching impacts, putting additional strain on our community. The park, in operation for over 80 years, has become a beacon of continuity and community, standing as a testament to our shared history and cherished memories. 

We urge Auckland Council and the Rodney Local Board to reconsider its decision, ensuring that the voices of all stakeholders are heard and considered. We believe that by reopening discussions and considering the long-term impact of their decisions, a more equitable solution can be found that preserves our beloved Sandspit Holiday Park.
