Notice is hereby given that the Minister for Land Information proposes to take, under the Public Works Act 1981, 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).
More particularly, the land described in the Schedule is required for motorway.
This may also be declared road and State highway.
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 has 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 Doug Snell, Opus International Consultants Limited, Level 3, 100 Beaumont Street
(PO Box 5848), Auckland. Telephone: (09) 359 6930.
