Notice is hereby given that the Minister for Land Information proposes to take, under the Public Works Act 1981, the land described in the First Schedule to this notice ("the land") and a restrictive covenant ("the covenant") over the land described in the Second Schedule ("the Tunnel Protection Land").
The land and the covenant are required for motorway purposes (Western Ring Route (Roads of National Significance): Waterview Connection Project).
More particularly, the land described in (a) of the First Schedule is required for motorway and will be used for the construction of a tunnel.
This may also be declared road and State highway.
The land described in (b) of the First Schedule will be retained for motorway purposes and the covenant will
be taken appurtenant to it.
The covenant is required to restrict the landowner from excavating or otherwise disturbing the soil in the Tunnel Protection Land without the prior written consent of the Minister for Land Information.
The project is required to complete the final link in the Western Ring Route, an alternative to State Highway 1 for north and south traffic movements.
The project will take business freight and other through traffic off local roads, freeing them up for improved
public transport services, providing shorter and more predictable travel times and more reliable access to Auckland International Airport.
The owner of the land and those persons with a registered interest in it have been served with notice of the Minister
for Land Information’s intention to take the land and the covenant and advised of their right to object.
Any other person having the right to object may send a written objection to the Regional Manager, Environment Court, Ministry of Justice, PO Box 5027, Wellington 6145, or DX SX11154, Wellington, within 20 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 with the right of the objector to appear and be heard personally unless the objector otherwise requires and each objector will be informed of the time and place of the hearing.
Any person requiring further information in respect
of this advice or a copy of the full terms of the covenant should contact Hugh Tercel, The Property Group Limited, Level 3, DLA Phillips Fox Tower, National Bank Centre, 209 Queen Street, Auckland. Postal Address: PO Box 104, Shortland Street, Auckland 1140. Telephone: (09) 309 8526.
