Notice is hereby given that the Ashburton District Council proposes to take, under the Public Works Act 1981, the land described in the Schedule to this notice (“land”).
The land is required for plantation purposes.
The reasons why Ashburton District Council considers it reasonably necessary to take the land are:
- The land was subdivided in 1878 but was abandoned by the owners in the early 1900s;
- Over time the Ashburton District Council has taken over maintenance of the land and has utilised the land for forestry and plantation since 1936;
- Rates have not been paid since the early 1900s;
- Neither a will nor successors to the owners could be located despite advertisements published in five national newspapers and Lawtalk; and
- To ensure proper future administration and management of the land.
The owners of the land and their successors and those persons with a registered interest in the land have been served with notice of the Ashburton District Council’s intention to take the land by publication and notified of their right to object.
Any person having the right to object may send a written objection to the Registrar, Environment Court, Justice & Emergency Services Precinct, 20 Lichfield Street, Christchurch 8011, or PO Box 2069, Christchurch 8013, or DX WX11113, Christchurch, 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 Chris Jones, The Property Group Limited, Level 2, 169 Madras Street, Christchurch Central, Christchurch 8011. Postal Address: PO Box 7240, Sydenham, Christchurch. Telephone: (03) 363 5902.
