Notice is hereby given that the Minister for Land Information proposes to take, under the Public Works Act 1981, the land described in the Schedule of this notice (“land”).

The land is required for construction of the State Highway 1 Widening Project, Warkworth (“project”). More particularly, the land is required for road.

The reasons why the Minister for Land Information considers it reasonably necessary to take the land is to provide safe and efficient transport infrastructure between Hudson Road and the northern connection of the Puhoi to Warkworth Motorway to State Highway 1; to reduce traffic congestion; and to provide for a connection for Auckland Transport’s proposed Matakana Link Road to State Highway 1.

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 Registrar, Environment Court, Specialist Courts and Tribunals Centre, Level 2, 41 Federal Street, Auckland 1010, or PO Box 7147, Auckland 1141, or DX CX10086, Auckland, 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 David Everiss, The Property Group Limited, Level 14, 55 Shortland Street, Auckland 1010, or PO Box 104, Shortland Street, Auckland 1140.
