Kiwi Water Park, one of the country's biggest water parks, may be forced to shut down before the upcoming summer season. The attraction won't be able to open up again unless a state highway with a right turning bay is implemented by November.  Kiwi Water Park co-owner Emily Rutherford explains what this all means here, and how the water park had dealt with an unconventional pre-planning due to Covid restrictions. "We did all our consent through lockdown, and no one thought anyone was going to come, quite honestly. And then a huge amount of people came, it was extremely popular with New Zealanders. And all of a sudden NZTA was like, hang on a minute, we need to put a right turn bay in there." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
