There is one big resort on the North Shore, the sprawling Turtle Bay. Plans are afoot to make this resort five times the size. Sure, there are obvious objections to the destruction of a pristine environment, but then there are also the everyday practicalities; How will the Kam Highway deal with the construction traffic, and then the tourist traffic, five times what it is already? Where will the staff live? The North Shore doesn’t have adequate facilities for a population influx this big. If this plan goes ahead, the rural nature of the North Shore will cease to exist.
