Update on the Puhinui Structure Plan

Resolution number AUC/2014/133 MOVED by Deputy Chairperson C Darby, seconded by Chairperson PA Hulse: That the Auckland Development Committee endorse the following principles/approach to advance planning for future development in the Puhinui Structure Plan area: a)      parts of the Puhinui Structure Plan area may be urbanised, subject to development control conditions regarding the nature, scale and location of development to protect significant environmental, ecological, archaeological, landscape and cultural values being in place. b)      future development of the Puhinui Structure Plan area is contingent upon resolution of significant issues around the availability, costs, funding, timing and staging of major capital investments, particularly in upgrades and new links to the strategic state highway and local transport network; and infrastructure funding agreements between asset providers and developers being in place. c)      the matters of determination of location of the Rural Urban Boundary, appropriate zoning and development controls can be most efficiently addressed through the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan hearing process. d)      Auckland Council will not promulgate a change to the operative Auckland Regional Policy Statement to move the Metropolitan Urban Limits to provide for urbanisation of the Puhinui Structure Plan area, but, subject to resolution of the issues identified in a) and b) above, will propose extending the Rural Urban Boundary to include parts of the Puhinui Structure Plan area as identified in Appendix D of the report through the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan hearing process. e)      future development of the Puhinui Structure Plan area will need to be staged and Auckland Council, Auckland Transport, Watercare Services Ltd, Iwi, the Southern gateway Consortium, other landowners/developers will continue to work collaboratively to address and resolve outstanding matters relating to feasibility, timing, sequencing and funding of infrastructure services, with particular attention to finding solutions, including temporary works to enable staged land development. f)       receive the tabled letter from Derek Nolan entitled ‘PAUP Hearing Topic 017 RPS – Changes to the RUB 2 (South), Pre-Hearing: 16 October 2014: 5-13 February 2015’ dated 14 October 2014.
