Anyone can pick a fight with a council but the one thing you will never have is deeper pockets and little accountability for how those funds can be spent.

And even if a council loses a court battle any fines are on the ratepayers as was the case in Gore around their settling ponds. It's a futile exercise trying to achieve anything via the courts. Best option is through the electoral system and vote people on who really want to listen. I know that is like looking for the elusive moose in Fiordland but Waituna is bigger than some council staffers ego.
