Concern also arises due to this being the access road to and adjacent to the reserve. There is no clear delineation between reserve and road. c) kaitohutohu/ advocate to the Governing Body for adequate funding to be provided to ensure appropriate resourcing for management, compliance and enforcement of the Bylaw to be carried out. |

Resolution number UH/2022/11 MOVED by Member U Casuri Balouch, seconded by Member N Mayne: That the Upper Harbour Local Board: a) provide the following local board views on PC69 by Oyster Capital for 23-27 & 31 Brigham Creek Road and 13 & 15-19 Spedding Road, Whenuapai i) acknowledge that the plan change is generally in alignment with the outcomes in the approved Whenuapai structure plan. ii) note that the timeframe is significantly in advance of the proposed structure plan timing for this area (2028 – 2032) which gives rise to concerns around enabling and supporting infrastructure. In respect of transport infrastructure we have concerns specifically about the Spedding Road realignment, extension and upgrade, and Brigham Creek Road, as those upgrades remain unfunded in the RLTP. iii) has concern around broad environmental outcomes particularly proposed environmental offsets, streams and wetland protection, as development occurs and urge that all opportunities are taken for restoration and enhancement. iv) urge consideration be given to providing solutions for reverse sensitivity impacts on residential neighbors. Solutions might include green buffer zones adjacent to the business area. v) note the need for additional tree planting which could be achieved with appropriate landscaping within developments to achieve enhancement of the Northwest wild link and Council’s objectives under the Urban Ngahere strategy. b) appoint the Chairperson L Whyte to speak to the local board views at a hearing on PC69. c) delegate authority to Chairperson L Whyte to make a replacement appointment in the event the local board member appointed in resolution b) is unable to attend the private plan change hearing. |
