Introduction The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) proposes to replace the current State Highway 1 (SH1) with a four lane expressway. NZTA are in the process of designing and planning for the construction of a four lane expressway through the district in four stages from Transmission Gully northwards (Transmission Gully (Linden to Mackays), Mackays to Peka Peka, Peka Peka to Otaki and Otaki to Levin). It is likely that the regional consents, NZHPT archaeological applications and Notices of Requirement applications will be lodged with the Environmental Protection Agency in late 2011/ early 2012.

EPA Board of Enquiry Hon Sir John Hanley David Bunting, Environment
EPA Board of Enquiry Hon Sir John Hanley David Bunting, Environment Commissioner Glenice Paine Mark Appledoorn Intro My name is Ruben Blok and I live at 79 Belvedere Ave, Waikanae. I am a Business Intelligence consultant with a private local firm and I create analytic reporting solutions for major private and public sector organisations throughout the Australasia. I am usually not too worried about government decisions but given my field of expertise and what I have witnessed with this project something very wrong is happening here and the information does simply not add up. I oppose the NZTA Makays to Peka Peka proposal and would like to tell you my experience and explain my findings. Lead Up We moved from Auckland to Kapiti (originally to Raumati South) in 2007 to start a family and fell in love with the community and surroundings. The combination of bush, beach, and lifestyle was an easy decision. We heard about KCDCs initial proposal to create a new alternate road and bridge to Waikanae I quite liked the idea. It seems a little crazy that you can almost walk to Waikanae from Paraparaumu Beach faster than you can drive (we tested it the other day). A year or two later we received the notification from NZTA that as part of the Roads of National Significance project they were planning to upgrade the existing SH1 to future proof the national grid. We again quite optimistic when we saw the proposals (WO and EO only) and chose option EO, upgrade the existing SH1, as it had minimal impact on the existing community leaving SH1 as close to its original location as possible.

Good morning, just to remind submitters before 5 we start that this is an opportunity to speak to the submissions that have already been filed and I think the first, Ms Hawken and Mr Mansfield. MS HAWKEN: Thank you, your Honour, and members of the Board for giving me this opportunity to speak about the expressway proposal. 10 My name is Dinah Hawken and I live in Paekakariki because of the quiet and the beauty of the coastal environment and the satisfactions of living in a small community. I identify strongly with others who live on the Kapiti Coast for the same reasons and who would be affected by the building of an expressway through their neighbourhoods. 15 I have worked as a social worker and counsellor. I am also a poet and have recently been teaching a course at Victoria University called “Writing the Landscape”. I am grateful that you are hearing personal and general responses to the proposal because I think the whole range 20 of opinion from the most technical and detailed to the most broad and personal are relevant and of value. [9.30 am] 25 I will give my reactions in a brief and forthright way knowing that you are also hearing many other points of view.
