Notice is hereby given that the Auckland Council, under the provisions of section 23 of the Public Works Act 1981, proposes to take the land described in the Schedule to this notice ("land").
The land is required for park as a result of the taking of part of Hobsonville Domain for motorway by NZ Transport Agency. It is intended to use the land for sports fields.
The reasons why the Auckland Council considers it essential to take the land are that there is an identified shortage of sports fields in the Hobsonville area and with continued development in Hobsonville, the land is required to meet future demand for sports fields.
More particularly, the land is required as an addition to adjoining Auckland Council owned land held for that purpose.
The owners of the land and those persons with a registered interest in it have been served notice of the Auckland Council's intention to take the land and have been advised of their rights to object.
Any other person having the right to object may send a written objection to the Registrar, Environment Court, Tribunals Division, Department for Courts, PO Box 7147, Wellesley Street, Auckland 1141, 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 Adrian Low at Auckland Council Property Limited, Level 9, Bledisloe House, 24 Wellesley Street, Auckland 1010. Telephone: (09) 365 3073.
