Legally speaking, the landowners of the property in question appear to be wholly within their rights to utilise their land and erect a retaining wall/fence within their property - assuming they can continue to do so within the resource consents controls imposed by Council. Stuff - 11-Oct-2018
This has only become "news' because it has affected a number locals who have - until now - been enjoying the coastal walkway route without previous impediment. #popularaucklandcoastalwalkway #iconicwalk #multimilliondollarhome #withinboundary #unofficialwalkway #privateproperty #councilshould #northshore

Coastal walkway closed after clash between council and property ownersStuff - Auckland: 4-Oct-2023North Shore local Charlene Laing has been scrambling past rock pools on the Takapuna-Milford walkway since she was 18-years-old. When she had children, Laing brought them with her – the whole family would wander along the coastline. On Monday, Laing rounded a corner to see a fence blocking her way: “I was devastated.” Part of the Takapuna-Milford walkway has been closed to the public after a heritage dispute between private property owners and Auckland Council reached a deadlock.
