Iwi members and a protest group have spent their first night occupying land at Wellington's contentious seaside development at Shelly Bay.
The Wellington iwi Taranaki Whanui sold a large part of the land to property developer, Ian Cassels - but some iwi members believe the sale was illegal.
Earlier this month, Wellington City Councillors gave the project the go-ahead, voting 9 6 in favour of allowing the development.
Māni Dunlop spoke to the Wellington mayor, Andy Foster, who voted against the project.
