MEMORANDUM OF COUNSEL FOR ORION NEW ZEALAND LIMITED AND CHRISTCHURCH CITY COUNCIL RELATING TO DRAFTING MATTERS ARISING FROM RESIDENTIAL (PART) STAGE 1 DECISION

May it please the Panel:

1 This memorandum is filed on behalf of Orion New Zealand Limited (Orion), submitter 922 and the Christchurch City Council (Council) in respect of Decision 10, dated 11 December 2015, which outlines the Panel’s decision on the stage 1 Residential (part) proposal.

2 Since submitting its amended memorandum dated 16th December 2015, errors in the referencing of provisions have come to Orion’s attention. Those errors relate to the reference made to the identified non-complying rule provision numbers that Orion brought to the Panel’s attention. The error occurs in three places within the memorandum and is identified and corrected in this memorandum.

3 Paragraph 3 of the amended memorandum requires amendment as follows (shown in underlining and strikethrough):

Orion notes that in Rule 14.4.2.5 NC2 14.2.2.5 NC7, 14.3.2.5 NC3, and 14.4.2.5 NC2 there is no clause b. relating to a 5m setback for fences. However, Orion sought that such a clause was included in the proposal,1 and provision for a setback for fences in relation to electricity distribution lines had been made in the drafting suggested in the evidence of Ms Buttimore and Mr Blair.

4 Paragraph 5 of the amended memorandum requires amendment as follows:

If the omission is an oversight then Orion seeks that the Panel issue an erratum correcting the error and including a clause b. in 14.4.2.5 NC2 14.2.2.5 NC7, 14.3.2.5 NC3, and 14.4.2.5 NC2 which provides for a setback for fences within 5m of an electricity distribution lines support structure foundation.

5 Paragraph 7 of the amended memorandum requires amendment as follows:

Orion also notes that the final note contained in 14.4.2.5 NC2 14.2.2.5 NC7, 14.3.2.5 NC3, and 14.4.2.5 NC2 referring to the New Zealand Electrical Code of Practice for Electrical Safe Distances references the National Grid transmission lines. This appears to be an error and Orion seeks that the

references in the note be amended to “electricity distribution lines”.

6 For completeness, Orion notes that Paragraph 2 of the amended memorandum requires amendment as follows:

On pages 153, 184 and 209 of the decision the Panel has provided for corridor protection provisions for Limited and Orion (Rules 14.2.2.5 NC6 and NC7; Rules 14.3.2.5 NC2 and NC3; and Rules 14.4.2.5 NC1 and NC2).

7 Orion has liaised with counsel for the Council in respect of the above amendments. The Council agrees with the corrections proposed.
