Proposed Plan Change 41 - Heritage Vegetation

To schedule 240 heritage vegetation items

Explanation

Proposed Plan Change 41 seeks to schedule a further 240 heritage vegetation items containing significant trees/groups of trees under the Heritage Appendix of the Auckland Council District Plan (Waitakere Section) (the District Plan). This will give these items the level of protection afforded by Rule 3 of the District Plan’s Heritage Rules (Size 827K):

Appendix D of the District Plan's Policy Section sets out the criteria for including significant trees/groups of trees in the Heritage Appendix:

"…trees will be included on the Heritage Appendix if they are nominated by the community or the Council and meet a threshold of 125 using the Royal New Zealand Institute of Horticulture (RNZIH) Standard Tree Evaluation Method (STEM), as modified by the Council as a method of assessing arboricultural (scientific), amenity, and notable criteria."

The following heritage vegetation items (in alphabetical order) are to be added to the District Plan's Heritage Appendix as they passed the threshold of 125 after being assessed by Auckland Council arborists using Standard Tree Evaluation Methodology (STEM):

Heritage Appendix - Proposed list of additional heritage vegetation items

Note: The list provides further details for each heritage vegetation item (in alphabetical order) and includes aerial and site photos of the tree(s)/groups of trees, and the relevant STEM evaluation produced by Auckland Council arborists.

There will be consequential changes to the District Plan’s Human Environment Maps, with the location of all proposed heritage vegetation items being depicted on the maps by an orange tree icon and its associated District Plan reference number in the Heritage Appendix list which is proposed for inclusion in the District Plan.

Proposed Plan Change 40 - Pakinui Structure Plan

Explanation

The Auckland Council has accepted an application for Proposed Private Plan Change 40 – Pakinui Structure Plan, to the Waitakere City Operative District Plan.

The Proposed Private Plan Change applies to 34 properties bounded by Amreins Road, McEntee Road, Sunnyvale Road and northern territorial boundary of the former Waitakere City Council.

The Proposed Private Plan Change seeks to insert a structure plan into the District Plan and amend the District Plan Foothills Subdivision Rules by allowing for further subdivision potential on the identified lots. The effect of the Proposed Private Plan Change would be to allow a maximum of 65 additional lots to be established, subject to controls on streamside enhancement, riparian planting, bush protection measures and stormwater management. Subdivision beyond the amount allocated by the structure plan would be a prohibited activity.

Proposed Plan Change 22

Explanation

The City has a clear policy position on Whenuapai which it has been pursuing for a number of years. The Council has decided to initiate a District Plan Change to protect the air base's potential as an airport.

The District Plan includes a number of Special Areas, which provide an appropriate planning framework for unique resources. The Whenuapai Airbase represents a substantial and unique resource in a strategic location. Council considers it appropriate to incorporate a Policy and Rule framework into the District Plan to enable the future use of the Airbase as an airport. There is already an operative "Whenuapai Special Area” in the District Plan which relates to a timber processing facility on Airport Road. Therefore the Special Area for the airport is entitled the "Whenuapai Airport Special Area” to distinguish it from the "Whenuapai Special Area”.

On 20 December 2006 the Council publicly notified a proposed change to its District Plan " Plan Change 22 " to enable the Whenuapai airbase to be developed in the future as a commercial airport. The Council believes that, as a commercial airport, the airbase will generate significant economic growth and investment in the north west of the Auckland Region.

The proposed change to the District Plan would create a Whenuapai Airport Special Area, with policies and rules that mean the land can be developed only for an airport and associated businesses.

Submissions on the proposed Plan Change closed at 5 pm on Wednesday 7 March 2007.

The period for further submissions closed on 1 June 2007.

The Plan Change was withdrawn on 1 December 2009.

Summaries of the original submissions are currently available online at the Council's website and at Waitakere City libraries and copies of the submissions in full are available to be viewed at Waitakere Central Civic Centre.

Waitakere's Growth and Transport Integration Programme

The following Proposed Plan Changes are included in the Council's response to the Local Government (Auckland) Amendment Act 2004.

Note: You will need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer in order to view and print these documents. For help opening PDF files or tips on copying information see Helpful Tips.

Waitakere News Special Insert - August 2007 (Size 986K)

Waitakere City News Special Edition No. 2 - April 2005 (Size 330K)

The Local Government (Auckland) Amendment Act 2004 (LG(A)AA 2004) seeks to integrate land use and transportation, especially in relation to intensification and key transportation initiatives.

The legislation also requires all councils in the Auckland region to alter their strategic planning documents to ensure that they are aligned with the Auckland Regional Growth Strategy. These changes must be undertaken in order to secure the additional Central Government funding of $1.6 billion towards major infrastructure projects for the region. The LG(A)AA 2004 stipulates that the changes required to the various planning documents must be publicly notified no later than 31 March 2005.

Council has initiated a 'Growth and Transportation Integration Programme' in response to the LG(A)AA 2004. The programme has a number of elements, and in particular signals the Council's intention to:

Manage and direct urban growth and rural development in an integrated manner;
Progress the intensification of the City around the major town centres and address concerns around urban design outcomes through a series of plan changes to the Waitakere City District Plan;
Address specific issues of intensification, urban amenity and management of the redevelopment of the New Lynn Town Centre through a specific plan change to the Waitakere City District Plan;
Seek an expansion of the Metropolitan Urban Limits (MUL) at Hobsonville Airbase, Hobsonville Village and Massey North to allow for, in particular, the development of additional employment land to meet the needs of the growing community not able to be met in the existing urban area;
Ensure district plan objectives, policies and rules supports and better integrate intensified land use to support viable public transport and investment in transport infrastructure; and

Appellants and Appeal Status (as at 1 September 2010) (Size 82K)

To assist the Environmental Court, the Council has prepared tables that group points of appeal into topics. These tables seek to ensure that all appeals on each topic are addressed in a coherent manner.

A letter that has been sent to all appellants and parties to the appeals providing information about the grouped points of appeal. Responses received from appellants have been corrected, and are now identified in the Version 2 and 3 Groupings provided below.

The Council has retained almost all points of appeal within the relevant Plan Change Group. The exceptions to this occur where points of appeal directly relate to a different Plan Change.

The Council has also combined with the Auckland Regional Council and the other territorial local authorities in the Auckland Region to group similar appeals by the National Trading Company in New Zealand, Progressive Enterprises, The Warehouse, Warehouse Stationary Limited and Westfield New Zealand Limited. These points of appeal relate to the location of large format retail stores, and whether they are located in town centres, transport corridors, or in both. These points of appeal form a group of their own. Please also refer to the Auckland Regional Council website for further information on this.

Version Two of the grouped appeals apply to Plan Changes 16, 17 and 18.

Version 3 of the Grouped appeals apply to Plan Changes 13-15.

The Centres and Corridors Table is now version 3`.

A new Table entitled "MUL Issues" has also been established.

Proposed Plan Change 16

Managing City Growth

This Proposed Plan Change seeks to:

Introduce a new chapter in the Policy Section of the District Plan, to provide the strategic basis for the various Plan Changes proposed in this package, and to include new objectives and policies concerned with the management of growth;
Set the platform to introduce future Plan Changes to implement the Waitakere City Growth Management Strategy, which proposes that 77% of the City™s growth will be accommodated within the existing urban area, 17% in the NorSGA corridor, and 6% in the rural area;
Outline the key growth issues facing the City, noting in particular that population is expanding faster than estimated rates, that there is limited land area to provide for growth, that there is a potential shortage of employment land, that the City has achieved only sporadic success at urban intensification in town centres, and that there is increasing pressure on the Waitakere Ranges and Foothills;
Introduce a new objective, being "to manage growth in such a way that will ensure the city develops and redevelops to achieve a compact urban form - well integrated, with high amenity values and providing appropriately for additional population, employment, community and business services, by managing the location, density, scale, form, character, timing and sequencing of urban and rural growth”;
Establish eleven new policies focusing on the integrated management of urban and rural growth, transport and associated design issues; and
Create two new Policy Maps and a schedule outlining location and staging of future urban growth in the city (as per the Waitakere City Growth Management Strategy).

Proposed Plan Change 17

New Lynn

This Proposed Plan Change seeks to:

Introduce specific rules and supporting policies intended to facilitate and encourage the intensification of development in and around the New Lynn town centre;
Establish new Living 5 and Living 6 Environments to provide for intensive residential development in selected locations around the New Lynn town centre;
Rezone land from Working Environment and Community (Periphery) Environment to Community Environment, to provide for an expanded retail and mixed use core town centre;
Introduce a ‘New Lynn Concept Plan™ to guide development in and around the New Lynn town centre, and identify features that should be retained and enhanced as development occurs; and
Create a ‘Monier Brick Making Special Area™ to protect the established brick making industry from reverse sensitivity issues and provide for its continued operation.

The proposed changes are intended to give a clearer framework within which the further development and redevelopment of New Lynn as a mixed use town centre can occur.

To accommodate the further growth of the retail and commercial area of the centre an expanded Community Environment is proposed. The current distinction in the District Plan relating to the Community and Community (Periphery) is removed, and the new combined Community Environment is extended to apply to land in the Clark Street area. Changes to the Community Environment rules include:

A new street frontages rule is introduced to manage the public / private interface of development. Streets in the Community Environment are classified as to the type of building form (set back, height, location of parking) required to ensure that the Centre develops as a high quality, community node.
Car parking rules in the Community Environment are altered to provide flexibility for residential development, and the redevelopment of small sites. Car parking requirements for other development are reduced in recognition of the current stock of parking in the centre, as well as the availability of other travel modes.

Development over 20m in height requires assessment of visual and wind effects.

A Concept Plan is introduced. This Concept Plan shows proposed new street connections, as well as highlighting a number of features that need to be taken into account in development proposals.

Residential development is made a non-complying activity in the Working Environment in New Lynn.

Plan Change 12

Open Space Environment Provisions

Plan Change 12 relates to all land identified as Open Space Environment that is located in Waitakere City. The parks and reserves in the City are publicly owned land identified as Open Space Environment in the District Plan. The Plan Change amends the provisions relating to the rules of the Open Space Environment and the Natural Areas to better facilitate development and general maintenance within parks and reserves.

The Plan Change introduced new definitions for activities and development that are typically established on parks and reserves. The rules in the Open Space Environment control and manage the effects of these park activities and development on the land and neighbourhood adjoining parks and reserves. The rules for the Natural Areas will continue to be used to manage any effects on the natural environment from the activities and development that is proposed in parks and reserves.

Reserve Management Plans will be used as one of the references for assessing all proposals which require resource consent under both the rules of the Open Space Environment and the Natural Areas.

The Plan Change includes new policies which address the purpose of public open space, and the requirement for public open space to balance the needs of the city™s residents for recreational opportunities with protection of the natural environment.

There is a consequential change to a Transport Environment rule relating to signs outside a park or reserve.

There are some consequential changes to the procedural guideline for the rules requiring the landowners written approval for developments on parks and amending leases, if applicable; and changes in the ‘Introduction to the Rules Section™ that relate to written consents and notification, for resource consents in the Open Space Environment.
