Notice is hereby given that the Crown, under the provisions of section 23 of the Public Works Act 1981, proposes to take the interests in the land described in the Schedule hereto ("the land") being a stratum estate in fee simple and a restrictive covenant ("the covenant").
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 imposes restrictions on certain activities carried out on the owners’ land, in order to protect the motorway and tunnel.
The project is required to complete the final link in the Western Ring Route.
As 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 owners 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 have been 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, 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.
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 or a full copy of the terms of the covenant
or the survey plan should contact Paula Dugan, Opus International Consultants Limited, Level 3, The Westhaven, 100 Beaumont Street, Westhaven, Auckland. Postal Address: PO Box 5848, Wellesley Street, Auckland 1141. Telephone: (09) 359 6923.
