Watercare Services Limited ("Watercare") proposes to acquire the land described in the Schedule, pursuant to the Public Works Act 1981.
The land is required for wastewater treatment purposes, maintenance of an odour buffer and application of biosolids in connection with the upgrading and ongoing operations of the wastewater treatment plant at Mangere.
The reasons Watercare considers acquiring the land is reasonably necessary include:
(a) Providing a secure tenure for the Mangere wastewater treatment plant site and odour buffer. This can not be effectively obtained using any other instruments, for example, a lease, an easement, a licence or any other interest in the land.
(b) Ensuring sufficient control over the land which comprises the wastewater treatment plant and designated odour buffer zone, as the land is to be used for the application of biosolids or for plant expansion and any other permitted activities under the Resource Management Act designations applying to the land.
Anyone claiming an interest in the land (other than the registered proprietor of the freehold estate) may object to the acquisition of the land by Watercare. A written objection should be sent to the Registrar, Environment Court, Tribunals Division, Justice Department, Private Bag, Postal Centre, Wellington, prior to Friday, 22 September 2000.
