Auckland Volcanic Cones Society

Mr Greg Smith presented a power point presentation
addressing the following issues:
·
16a Belvedere St, Epsom. The Society supports
the resale of the lower part of this property. In landscape terms we can see
little necessity for its retention. This was stated in our original meeting
with this committee and have not changed their position.
·
land at the end of Gollan Rd, Mt Wellington
which runs from the Maungarei Domain down to Stonefields (privately owned).
This land was subject to a court case where the Society was successful in not
allowing it to be used for housing development. However the Environment Court
could only leave the land with its original business 7 zoning. Obviously
Business 7 is not an appropriate zone any longer but neither is the proposed
housing zone under the Unitary Plan, however they proposed that the best solution
would be an open space zoning.
·
Crater Hill, (privately owned). This land was
being considered for public acquisition by the Auckland Regional Council just
before amalgamation. They considered that it would make an ideal regional
park. The Society would still like to flag this property as a possible new
park for Auckland.
A copy of the
presentation is attached to the official copy of these minutes are available
on the Auckland Council website as minutes attachments.
