MOVED by Chairperson R Hills, seconded by Deputy Mayor D Simpson:  

That the Policy and Planning Committee:

a)      whakaae / agree not to reject the private plan change request under clause 25(4) of Schedule 1 of the RMA as there are no grounds of rejection available, on the basis that:

i)       the private plan change request is not frivolous or vexatious;

iii)     the substance of the private plan change request has not been considered within the last two years;

iv)     having regard to relevant caselaw, a coarse scale assessment of the private plan change request does not indicate that it is not in accordance with sound resource management practice;

ii)      it is inappropriate to adopt the private plan change as the council has no immediate intentions or need to rezone this area for development

Auckland Unitary Plan - Private Plan Change Request - Whenuapai Green

 

Note:   changes were made to the original recommendation, adding new clause d), as a Chair’s recommendation.

 

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.

 

Resolution number PEPCC/2024/136

MOVED by Chairperson R Hills, seconded by Cr J Fairey:  

That the Policy and Planning Committee:

a)      whakaae / agree not to reject the private plan change request under clause 25(4) of Schedule 1 of the Resource Management Act 1991 as there are no grounds of rejection available, on the basis that:

i)       the private plan change request is not frivolous. The Requestor has provided sufficient supporting technical information and the private plan change request has a resource management purpose as it seeks to rezone approximately 16.36 hectares of land from Future Urban Zone to Residential – Mixed Housing Urban Zone

 

 

 

ii)      the private plan change request is not vexatious. The Requestor is not acting in bad faith by lodging a private plan change request. The Requestor is not requiring council to consider matters in this process that have already been decided or that are the subject of extensive community engagement or investment

iii)     the substance of the private plan change request has not been considered within the last two years

iv)     having regard to relevant caselaw, a coarse level of assessment of the private plan change request does not indicate that it is not in accordance with sound resource management practice

v)      a preliminary assessment indicates that the private plan change request will not make the Auckland Unitary Plan (Operative in Part) inconsistent with Part 5 of the Resource Management Act 1991

vi)     the provisions of the Auckland Unitary Plan subject to the private plan change request have been operative for at least two years.

b)      whakaae / accept the private plan change request for processing for the following reasons:

i)       accepting the private plan change request for notification will enable a range of matters to be considered on their merits during a public participatory process

ii)      it is inappropriate to adopt the private plan change request. The council has no immediate intentions to rezone this area for urban development. A council plan change is not currently on the council’s work programme. Therefore, the associated risks and costs of a private plan change request should be met by the developer rather than the council

iii)     it is not appropriate to deal with the private plan change request as if it was a resource consent application because the current Future Urban Zone that applies to the land is not currently suitable for residential subdivision and development.

c)         tautapa / delegate authority to the Manager Planning – Regional, North, West and Islands to undertake the required notification and other statutory processes associated with processing the private plan change request.

d)        tautapa / delegate authority to the Chair and Deputy Chair of the Policy and Planning Committee, and a Member of Houkura – Independent Māori Statutory Board, to approve a council submission on Private Plan Change - Whenuapai Green:

i)       seeking to have the private plan change request declined unless Council’s concerns around the following matters are appropriately addressed:

A)     development is integrated with the provision of infrastructure (e.g. through strengthening the objectives and policies included in the private plan change)

B)     people are not exposed to unacceptable levels of noise from Whenuapai Airbase.
