Peter Jackson has bought the land on Shelly Bay. No development. I hope he builds penguin habitat.

It sounds like they may be aiming for some blend of natural habitat and recreational area. Hopefully more info will come.
I was always not thrilled about that development, it would have been in a location inconvenient for anyone who actually needs to work in the city - IMO the developments we need are ones meant for people who make the city run to live in.
