After receiving payment for unpaid debts totalling more than $25,000, Auckland Council has said it has withdrawn its application in the High Court to liquidate the owner of the now abandoned and crumbling Gulf Harbour Country Club.
The once-stunning course on the Whangaparāoa Peninsula was closed “with immediate effect” in July 2023. A fall from grace of a club that once = hosted the New Zealand Golf Open in 2005 and 2006.
The club has since been gutted by two fires within three days of each other.
On June 20, Auckland Council applied to liquidate Long River Investments Corporation Limited for unpaid rates totalling $18,386.54, which then rose to $25,804.56.
In a statement to 1News, the council said it had received payment of Long River‘s unpaid rates.
“Therefore, we will be withdrawing the liquidation application in the High Court [on] Friday, August 16, 2024.”
