Notice is hereby given that the Crown proposes to take, under the Public Works Act 1981, the land described in the Schedule hereto ("the land").
The land is required for the Western Ring Route (Roads of National Significance): Waterview Connection Project, Auckland and it is intended to use the land for motorway purposes.
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 please contact Robyn Shephard, Opus International Consultants Limited, Level 3, 100 Beaumont Street, Auckland 1010. Postal Address: PO Box 5848, Auckland 1141. Telephone: (09) 355 9230.
