Local board views on Plan Change 53 - Temporary Activities and Pukekohe Park Precinct |
|
Tony Reidy - Senior Policy Planner, was in attendance via Skype-for-Business to speak to this report. |
|
Resolution number AE/2020/147 MOVED by Chairperson M Watson, seconded by Member J Maskill: That the Albert-Eden Local Board: a) does not support the newly proposed Plan Change 53 provisions that would increase the duration of temporary activities that are defined as noise events from six to eight hours, noting this is due to the experience from previous activities in the local board area where there have been significant effects from some noise activities on the amenity of neighbouring open space and residential areas; six hours is a significant period of time for amplified noise in most residential areas and our experience is that complaints have arisen regarding noise from commonly used sites, being Potters Park and Coyle Park even when events had been less than six hours; therefore events greater than six hours should continue to be required to apply for Resource Consent to ensure that impacts are assessed and are avoided, mitigated or minimised if necessary. b) support the introduction of a new noise rule for coastal temporary activities given some local board area parks and beaches are within the coastal marine area (CMA). |
