Notice is hereby given that the Wellington City Council 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 Wellington City Council – Makara Cemetery Expansion Project (“Project”), and it is intended to use the Land for Cemetery Purposes.

The reason why the Wellington City Council considers it essential to take the interest in the Land is to ensure that future demand for different denominational groups, as well as non-denominational groups, can be adequately met at the Makara Cemetery.

The registered owner of the Land and those persons with a registered interest in it have been served with notice of the Wellington City Council’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, District Court Building, Level 5, 49 Ballance Street, Wellington 6011. Postal address: SX10044, 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 Jake Murphy, WSP New Zealand Limited, Level 9, Majestic Centre, 100 Willis Street, Wellington 6011. Email: Jake.Murphy@WSP.com. Phone: 027 298 2815.

The Land is located at 135 and 137 South Makara Road, Wellington City.
