1:15  The future of urban golf courses - Dr Dushko Boganovich

Local council board agrees to look at carving up the Chamberlain Park Golf course in Auckland - a step closer to making it nine holes, instead of 18.  With the city's population expanding at a rate of knots, what is the best use for such large swathes of green land in the city?

1:35 Author - Jock Vennell
