The fate of the Takapuna Beach Holiday Park on the North Shore of Auckland will be decided by a panel this evening.
There are plans for the 80-year-old park to be replaced by a Yachting New Zealand administration centre.
A six person panel will hold public deliberations this evening.
Tourism Industry Association advocacy manager Geoff Ensor says the park should be kept because it pumps $7 million into the local community each year.
