while the exact boundary between the foreshore and private land was not definitively surveyed, the nuisance created by the pigs\u2019 presence was undeniable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe defendants are using the area in an exceptional manner,\u201d the judge ruled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe presence of pigs is not necessary for the enjoyment of the foreshore and their activity is not a common or ordinary use.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the court did not find sufficient proof to support trespass claims\u2014largely due to the absence of tidal measurements establishing the legal high-water mark\u2014it accepted evidence that the pigs had caused persistent foul odours and environmental disruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The court awarded $7,500 in legal costs to the claimants, reduced from the standard $10,000 to reflect the partial dismissal of their claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ruling effectively ends operations of Pigs Paradise at the site, with the court suggesting the business may seek relocation through official Crown channels, given the lack of permanent infrastructure at the location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Justice Williams apologised to the parties for the delay in delivering the judgment, which followed trial proceedings, written submissions, and a judicial site inspection between June 2024 and May 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img
