Notice is hereby given that the Minister for Land Information proposes to take, under the Public Works Act 1981, all of the land described in the Schedule to this notice ("the land").
The land is required for motorway purposes (Western Ring Route (Roads of National Significance): Waterview Connection Project).
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 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 should contact Glen McIntosh, 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.
