Long Beach

Long Beach Domain will not be gated because the community does not like the idea, Long Beach Amenities Society secretary David Keen says.

Restricting access to the Long Beach Domain will give the community more control and stop "hoons" entering one of the few grassy areas left open at night in Dunedin, Cr Andrew Noone says.

It seems that, metaphorically at least, lightning really does strike more than once.

Access to the seaside community of Long Beach was temporarily closed on Saturday morning after heavy rain caused a 15m slip near the intersection of Mihiwaka Rd and Driver St.

The "cave rave" planned for Long Beach will instead be held at Dunedin nightspot Sammy's after a safety inspection at the beach found revellers could be at risk from loose boulders perched high up a cliff face.
