The Whau Local
Board notes the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan’s response to the Transpower
Transmission Lines and supports the petitioning of Central Government to
underground the lines crossing urban areas utilising the dividends that
Transpower pays to the Crown and the motorway corridors. The removal of the
overhead lines and towers would improve the local and regional amenity,
release valuable land for improvement and intensification and respond to
community health concerns.
The Board
notes the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan’s current approach to community
facilities, for example churches in light industrial areas (a discretionary
activity) and heavy (a non-complying activity) and proposes a change to give
effect that community facilities, for example churches in light industrial
areas be a complying activity and a discretionary activity in heavy
industrial areas in the proposed unitary plan.”
b) Requests that officers seek confirmation from the chair of
the hearings panel that local boards will have the opportunity to speak to
the panel about issues relevant to the local board area.
c) Delegates to the chairperson the authority to clarify the
content of this input and any other matters requested by the governing body and
/ or the independent Hearings Panel.
