Item 18 Amendment to Attachment C – Further information requests from the draft annual plan hearing 2011-2012 Kaipatiki Local Board Information requested Land purchases - Briefing to board on Chelsea Park purchase of ID # 0242 horse paddock. Submission number(s) 0849 Response provided by Martin Van Jaarsveld, Manager Local and Sports Parks North (Name/Team/Unit/Dept) Response The land referred to as the horse paddock is part of the Chelsea sugar refinery and is located to the south of the Chelsea Heritage Park, which Council purchased a few years ago. Council has the Right of First Refusal (ROFR) when Chelsea sells the land and has confidentially earmarked $5m in the acquisition budget for this purchase. and the funds for purchasing the additional Cheslea park land is contained within the $5m (approximately) per annunum set aside for parks aquistions by the legacy council. A company from Singapore, Wilmar International Ltd purchased Chelsea Sugar in mid-2010. Legal advice has been sought and reported on to the effect that the sale of Chelsea Sugar to Wilmar does not trigger the right of first refusal in the ROFR Deed. Wilmar have made application to the Overseas Investment Office (OIO) seeking approval of the purchase. Council has lodged a submission requesting that any approval by the OIO be conditional on the ROFR being triggered. Outcome of the OIO process are awaited. Submissions closed on 11 October 2010. As of December 2010, Council’s view was that it could not make a move as the ROFR was not triggered. As such, the council could only keep a watching brief. Item 9.1 KAIPATIKI LOCAL BOARD 28 April 2011 Member's Report Dr Grant Gillon Please place the following Member's Report on the agenda for the next Kaipatiki Local Board meeting being held on May 10th 2011: Summary A very vocal community meeting was held at Northcote Point, hosted by the Northcote Residents' Association. What arose from the meeting was the following: There is huge uncertainty in our community due to the continual deference and consultation on the harbour crossing options over the last decade. There is uncertainty over the form of the crossing, whether it should include rail That Kaipatiki Local Board should publicly state/restate its position. The following points also came up at the meeting: The Harbour Bridge can continue carrying all traffic for another 20 years. If after 20 years we do not have an additional crossing, heavy trucks would need to be banned or managed. By removing heavy trucks in 20 years time, the life of the current bridge will be 100-150 years. The proposed costs for tunnels is higher than a bridge because four tunnels have been scoped. Due to improvements in tunnelling technology, there might be a case for fewer tunnels, at least initially, which would significantly lower costs. No matter whether a bridge or tunnel is chosen, rail would need to go by tunnel. Rail cannot go by bridge due to the low gradient that would be required while the bridge must be 50-60m above the water to accommodate super-yachts. Background As the Kaipatiki Local Board is one of the two Boards on the North Shore most affected by the type of crossing it is important to be clear of the Board's position and this restatement will provide certainty (of the Board's position) to the community and also empower the Council and CCO in their advocacy of the tunnel and public transport option. The NZ Transport Agency has identified an additional Waitemata Harbour crossing (AWHC), operated in conjunction with the existing Auckland Harbour Bridge (AHB), as the most appropriate solution to provide flexibility, resilience, and sustainability for the expected growth in Auckland’s population and traffic. Refer http://www.nzta.govt.nz/network/projects/project.html?ID=13 Together, the existing bridge and the additional crossing will provide 14 lanes for general traffic, public transport and walking
