Objection to wastewater works at 38c Fairdene Avenue

 

Note:   The objector sent through a request to defer 24 hours before the meeting. The Chair decided to proceed with the hearing based on staff advice regarding the impact of further delay on the developer and considering the objector was granted a deferral the previous month and had a month notice of the new date for the hearing. The objector was given the opportunity to attend the meeting remotely, however, they did not exercise that option.

 

A PowerPoint presentation was given. A copy has been placed on the official minutes and is available on the Auckland Council website as a minutes attachment.

 

The hearing commenced at 11.25am in relation to the objection to proposed wastewater works at 38c Fairdene Avenue.

 

Council staff addressed the committee and outlined the proposed wastewater works and responded to questions. The council has determined that the works constitute necessary public wastewater improvements. The council has issued a notice under section 181(2) of the Local Government Act 2002, informing the landowners of its intention to construct the works as a council project.

 

The hearing concluded at 11.40am.

Objection to wastewater works at 38c Fairdene Avenue

 

Resolution number RSCCC/2024/62

MOVED by Chairperson J Bartley, seconded by Deputy Chairperson K Turner:  

That the Regulatory and Community Safety Committee:

a)      hear and determine the objections by the owner of 38c Fairdene Avenue, according to clause 1(e) of Schedule 12 of the Local Government Act 2002

Restatement

c)      whakaae / agree that the matter remain confidential until the conclusion of the hearing and then be restated in the open minutes

CARRIED

 

Reason for decision

 

The Committee is satisfied that the public wastewater drainage extension is necessary to service the consented development and that option one is the most appropriate option for the reasons set out in the agenda report, including that it will result in minor interference with existing services, medium disruption to property owners, low constructability risk and good compliance with the code of practice.

 

The owner’s written objection did not set out any reasons to support their objection.  After the first scheduled hearing was deferred at the objector’s request, the objectors were informed that the matter would be heard the following month and had the opportunity to attend the hearing in person, remotely or could have provided written reasons for their objection.  No reasons were provided.

 

 

 

 

 

11.49 am                                            The chairperson thanked members for their attendance and attention to business and declared the meeting closed.
