Notice is hereby given that, in accordance with section 23 of the Public Works Act 1981, Watercare Services Limited ("Watercare") proposes to take an interest in part of the land at 40 Tram Valley Road, Swanson, Waitakere City, more particularly described as Lot 6 DP 60454 as contained in Computer Freehold Register NA15D/1103 ("the land").
The interest required in the land is an easement to enable Watercare to construct, access and maintain a pipeline to convey potable water from the Waitakere Treatment Plant located at Christian Road to Tram Valley Road.
The reason why Watercare considers it reasonably necessary to take the interest is because the interest is located on the proposed route for a new pipeline which will be used to convey bulk water from the Waitakere Treatment Plant
to Tram Valley Road, in order to facilitate the supply of water to the greater Auckland region.
The owners of the land and those persons with a registered interest in it have been served with notice of Watercare's intention to take the land and advised of their right to object.
Any other person having the right to object may send a written objection to the Registrar, Environment Court, Tribunals Division, Justice Department, Private Bag, Postal Centre, Wellington, within 15 working days after the date of publication of this notice.
If any objection is made in accordance with this notice,
a public hearing will be held.
The objector will have a right to appear and be heard personally unless the objector otherwise requires.
Each objector will be informed of the time and place of the hearing.
Any person requiring further information in respect of
this advice should contact G. D. Low, Meredith Connell, Barristers and Solicitors, PO Box 2213, Shortland Street, Auckland 1140.
Dated at Auckland this 18th day of June 2009.
MARK FORD, Chief Executive, Watercare Services Limited.
