UNFORTUNATELY RESOURCE CONSENT HAS BEEN APPROVED FOR THE DEVELOPEMENT OF THE ESR SITE, KELLY STREET, MT EDEN. JULY 19, 2002 What Happened on Friday 19th July at the City Council Hearing On Friday July 19th 2002 Auckland City
Council’s Regulatory and Fixtures Sub-committee met to consider
applications for Resource Consent. Those on the subcommittee were:
Councillor BiII Christian, Councillor Graeme Mulholland, and Councillor
Juliet Yates (chair).
Two letters were presented;
Both letters were dismissed! Assessments and recommendations on both applications were presented by Auckland City planner Mark Leotta. ALL EFFECTS, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL, IN ALL AREAS (HERITAGE, FLORA AND FAUNA, TRAFFIC CONGESTION, ETC., AND ON LOCAL RESIDENTS IN TERMS OF NOISE, DUST, LOSS OF LIGHT, ETC. WERE STATED TO BE EITHER ‘NIL’ OR ‘DE MINIMIS’ (INSIGNIFICANT). In both cases Mr. Leotta’s report concluded:
Councillor Glenda Fryer was present,
and was permitted to ask a few questions — all of which were
rebuffed. We thank her for trying!
BOTH APPLICATIONS WERE GRANTED RESOURCE CONSENT. A good number of MENRA members and
supporters attended the hearing and left angry and disillusioned by
the process.
SO — the bulldozers, diggers, drills, excavators, trucks noise, dust and high walls are cleared to move in. The trees, tuis, peace and life-as-we-live-it here are about to move out, and Eden loses its last hope for more greenspace. THIS IS NOT THE END OF THE STORY
