Crowdfunding has allowed the people of New Zealand beach redeem a businessman, making it public

This wonderful beach get on to future generations, the authors of the project

rejoice Around 40 thousand people were able to using crowdfunding to raise about $ 1, 5 million for the purchase of the beach Avaroa (Awaroa) in Abel Tasman National Park. The beach was put up for sale by the previous owner in the past year, and now the island's residents have purchased it in the public domain. However, the government also helped with money, plus found another big "contributor."

Fundraising was initiated by a group of friends who wanted to make a public beach. Current owner of the beach - businessman Michael Spekmen (Michael Spackman) has agreed to sell the beach after four days of talks. By the way, funds were collected in just three weeks, reports Stuff.





According to the project team, the government has made no contribution to the largest, but it was vital to achieve campaign goals. It may well be that this project will set a precedent for future similar projects, when the company buys private property from individual owners.

An interesting point - in the project would like to attend a businessman from New Zealand. He planned to make a significant contribution, but wanted to get into private use beach area - for himself and his family. The sponsors have refused his help, thinking that the beach should belong to everyone.

Plus, the beach wanted to get in and use of the Maori, the local Aboriginal groups. "Utopia in seven hectares" residents called the beach itself. Now the government is already working on the beach included in the national park. Get here easy - only air, in most cases. But this place is ideal for relaxation.
