item.

MOVED by Deputy Chairperson L Johnston, seconded by
Chairperson B Bailey:
That
the Rodney Local Board:
a)
whakarite / provide the following feedback
on the draft Spatial Land Use Strategy for the Dairy Flat and Silverdale
Future Urban Zones:
i)
express concern that the future proposed
town/metro centre for Dairy Flat, the Rapid Transport Network and surrounding
high density residential housing will be located within an identified flood
hazard of Dairy Stream and even if hazards can be mitigated by engineering
solutions, these interventions can become overwhelmed during extreme events
as has been seen in 2023
ii)
request that for our future greenfield
developments, we need to ensure dense housing is in climate resilient areas
and future residents are not put in harm’s way because of poor planning
decisions which would result in inefficient use of resources and have
financial implications for all New Zealanders
iii)
request Healthy Waters review the proposed
town centre locations including the adjacent high density residential housing
for climate resilience before the Spatial Land Use Strategy is adopted and
provide details of the suitability of this area for the proposed development
iv)
express concern that the location of the
Dairy Flat town centre is being locked in prior to detailed analysis
/structural planning being completed due to the delay until 2050 of the Dairy
Flat development under the Future Development Strategy and therefore it may
be over 25 years before the full impacts are known
v)
express concern that a number of constraints
within the proposed Dairy Flat metropolitan town centre may result in
increased costs/fragmented development due to the following: floodplains,
challenging topography, fragmented land ownership, existing high-value
dwellings, land/slope stability and land title covenants on Goodlands estate
that prevent further subdivision.

Future Urban Zones:
vi)
express concern with the large number of
traffic movements traveling east to west through this future development and
the conflicts which will arise if we don’t protect the transport
corridors for vehicle movements.
b)
request consideration be given to protecting
a transport corridor to safely convey vehicles, including freight, through
the area without conflicts and safety concerns.
