Reader’s guide To the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan Summary of Decisions Requested report As with all regional and district plan reviews and plan changes, the Resource Management Act (RMA) requires the council to prepare a report summarising all the decisions requested. The report for the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan (PAUP) will be the largest of its kind since the RMA came into effect in 1991, containing more than 93,600 individual requests from more than 9,400 submissions. The information below outlines how the submissions were summarised and provides guidance on how to navigate the Summary of Decisions Requested (SDR) report which is available online at www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/unitaryplan and in hard copy at selected Auckland Council Libraries, service centres and local board offices. 1. Content of the summary of decisions requested report The report is made up of concise summaries of the decisions requested in submissions. The report is not intended to be a summary of the submissions in their entirety and does not include reasons for the request or other supporting material included in the submissions. The original submission should be referred to if you are seeking to make a further submission, or to fully understand the issues raised by a submitter. A number of submissions discuss provisions of the PAUP or other information without providing specific references. No attempt has been made to source these references, or obtain clarification. Any clarification needed should be sourced directly from the submitter. In some cases, the decisions requested by submitters were unclear. Any inferences made are identified by the use of square brackets. For example ‘Reduce parking thresholds [for organised sport and recreation].’ Where a submission requests amendments to the text, this has generally been identified with strikethrough for deleted text and underlining for inserted text. However, if amendments are not apparent, then the complete text as it appears in the submission has been included 1 | Page and should be compared with the text in the PAUP. Some submissions quote substantial sections of the PAUP. The summary either summarises the text and references the reader to the relevant page in the submission, or includes the amended text and omits text that is unchanged by the submission. Ellipses […] have been used to indicate omitted text. Page numbers have been added to all submissions. Large submissions and submissions that were received in parts have been broken down into volumes. The summary refers to the volume (where relevant) and the page number allocated by the council. For example ‘Refer to submission, Volume 5, page 10/90’. You can find a glossary and list of abbreviations used frequently in the summaries at the end of this document. Many submissions included a request for ‘any such consequential amendments’ or similar. Such requests have not been included in the summary. The Auckland Unitary Plan Independent Hearings Panel will be able to consider consequential amendments during the course of the hearings on the PAUP. Some petitions were received. These have been attributed to the person who submitted the petition and the number of people that signed the petition has been recorded. For example ‘J. Citizen and 97 others’. 2. Reading the summary of decisions requested report Each submission has been given a unique number and every decision requested has been assigned a submission point number. The submission point number is annotated on the original submission to guide the reader to the relevant part of the submission. The submission point is identified by a line on the right hand side of the text and the relevant number. As far as possible, the submission point numbers are sequential. However, in some cases, the numbering is not sequential as a result of points being added or deleted as part of the quality assurance process. When reading a summary, you need to refer to the theme, topic and subtopic (if applicable). These indicate the part of the PAUP and provision number (where relevant) that the summary relates to. In the example below, the theme, topic and subtopic identify that the decision requested relates to the Subdivision provisions in the Auckland-wide section, Chapter H5.3 – 4 Assessment. 2 | Page Sub#/ Name Address for Theme Topic Subtopic Summary Point service 1234-56 J. Citizen [email protected] Subdivision Auckland-wide - H5.3 – 4 Add the following controlled general Assessment activity assessment criteria to Table 12: ‘Proposed sites should be able to accommodate development intended by the underlying zone.’ 3. Rezoning, precincts and changes to the Rural Urban Boundary Submissions on precincts, rezoning and changes to the Rural Urban Boundary are organised by area. The maps at the end of this guide show the different areas for submissions relating to rezoning and changes to the Rural Urban Boundary. Submissions relating to precincts are organised by the same areas as for rezoning. 3 | Page Glossary BFA Bonus floor area CMA Coastal Marine Area FAR Floor area ratio GFA Gross floor area GMO Genetically modified organism GSA Gross site area MHWS Mean high water springs NES National Environmental Standards NSA Net site area NPS National Policy Statement NZCPS New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement NZHPT New Zealand Historic Places Trust NZTA New Zealand Transport Agency ONC Outstanding natural character ONF Outstanding natural feature ONL Outstanding natural landscape PAUP Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan RMA Resource Management Act 1991 RPS Regional Policy Statement RUB Rural Urban Boundary SEA Significant Ecological Area Abbreviations C Celsius dB Decibel ha Hectare Km Kilometre(s) l Litre(s) m Metre(s) m3 Metre(s) cubed % Percentage m2 Square metre(s) km2 Square kilometre(s) 4 | Page Mangawhai Te Arai Little Barrier Island Tomarata Pakiri Port Albert Waiteitei Whangaripo Wellsford Leigh Hoteo Wharehine North Wayby Point Wells Omaha Tapora Matakana Waiwhiu Tauhoa Hoteo Sandspit Kaipara Warkworth Flats Mangakura Kawau Algies Bay Island Woodcocks Glorit Pohuehue South Head Mahurangi Komokoriki Mahurangi Araparera Puhoi West Woodhill Tahekeroa Forest Waioneke Makarau Waiwera Shelly Beach Kanohi Orewa Wainui Army Bay Kaukapakapa Silverdale Woodhill Pine Forest Whangaparaoa Waitoki Valley Parkhurst Loch Norrie Parakai Dairy Flat Helensville Okura Long Bay Fairview Heights Rakino Albany Island Schnapper Rock Waimauku Motutapu Kumeu Milford Greenhithe Island Palm Rangitoto Beach Beach Haven Takapuna Island Oneroa Waiheke Island Birkenhead Belmont Taupaki West Harbour Omiha Muriwai Stanley Cowes Point Massey Waitakere CBD Mission Orapiu Bay Lincoln Glendowie Ponui Island (Chamberlins Henderson Te Henga Mount Saint Johns Island) Maraetai (Bethells Glendene Eden Beach) Howick Panmure Anawhata Oratia Pakuranga Onehunga Waiatarua Titirangi Westfield Waitakere Ranges Whitford Piha Favona East Tamaki Kawakawa Parau Bay Orere Mangere Point Karekare Flat Bush Ihumatao Manukau Huia Clevedon Ness Little Cornwallis Wiri Valley Huia Manurewa East Whatipu Ardmore Wattle Takanini Bay Grahams Weymouth Beach Papakura Hunua Awhitu Elletts Beach Opaheke Hunua Ranges Seagrove Moumoukai Karaka Runciman Ponga Kaiaua Clarks Kingseat Pollok Beach Waiau Pa Ararimu Ramarama Paparimu Te Toro Happy Valley Paerata Paparata Patumahoe Kohekohe Bombay Pukekohe Mauku Waipipi Mission Bush Buckland Waiuku Karioitahi This map/plan is illustrative only and all information should be independently verified on site before taking NORTH (includes Waiheke) any action.Copyright Auckland Council.
