The Piha Post Office  

Reading about the Piha Post Office, and the fact that Telecom no longer want to own the land that it stands on, makes me wonder if there is not already a precedent.
The land was originally taken under the Public Works Act, so if it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was taken, then it should revert to (at least) the crown, if not the local residents or iwi.
Wasn't the Raglan Golf course a similar case?
Perhaps NZ is getting sufficiently grown up that Land Claims can be brought by Tau iwi as well?

Yeh right! Have you seen the Raglan Golf Course lately - the finest bit of scrub around.

I'd have more sympathy for the Piha Post Office if it actually gave some service. The staff is surly and other than post office boxes they only sell stamps and that seems to be a bit of a bother at times.
