Notice is hereby given that the Porirua City Council (“Council”), under the provisions of section 23 of the Public Works Act 1981, proposes to take the easement interests described in the Schedule to this notice (“the easements”) for road for the Transmission Gully Link Roads Project.

The reasons why the Council considers it reasonably necessary to take the easements are:

1. To provide a more efficient, safer and more reliable road access between the eastern Porirua suburbs and the Hutt Valley, Wellington City and Kapiti Coast;
2. To reduce the adverse effects of traffic on the environment in Porirua by encouraging the use of Transmission Gully; and
3. To support an integrated approach to regional and local land transport and development.

The intended use is generally in accordance with the designation in the district plan.

The owners of the easements have been served with notice of the Council’s intention to take the easements and advised of their right to object.

Any other person having the right to object may send a written objection to the Registrar, Environment Court, 5th Floor, District Court Building, 49 Ballance Street, Wellington 6011, or by post to 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 Ian Hutchison, The Property Group Limited, Level 10, Technology One House, 86–96 Victoria Street, Wellington 6011. Postal Address: PO Box 2874, Wellington 6140. Telephone: (04) 470 6114.
