Driftwood Hut at Tahuna

During the week three backpackers made a driftwood hut on Tahuna Beach. They left a note on it saying it was for children to enjoy and that they hoped only the tide would break it. I read an article online through 'Stuff' about it and was interested in all the reader's comments. The comments started off positively, praising the efforts of these backpackers. But, then they changed to tongue in cheek, stating that the council would probably disapprove because it didn't have a building consent.
And, sure enough, after a couple of days an orange fence was placed around it, by the council saying it was deemed unsafe! Unbelievable! 
Fortunately, after lots of back lash from the community, the council stepped back and eventually took down the fence. PC has really gone to the extreme when a driftwood hut can be deemed a safety issue.
