The Hearings Commissioners are: Mr Greg Hill (Chair), Mr William Kapea, Mr David Hill and Mr David Mead. DATE – 22nd May 2013. 1. Summary of the Decision The Commissioners have determined that: Proposed Change 15 to the Auckland Regional Policy Statement (ARPS), be APPROVED, and Proposed Variation 5 to the Auckland Regional Plan: Air, Land and Water (ARP:ALW) be APPROVED, and Proposed Plan Change 123 to the Auckland District Plan (Rodney Section) (ADP:RS) be APPROVED IN PART, being: The Special 25 (Hibiscus Coast Gateway Specialist Retail) Zone is Approved, and The Special 26 (Hibiscus Coast Gateway Recreation and Entertainment) Zone is Approved for those sites shown on Plans attached to this decision, and That all other sites in the area of Proposed Plan Change 123 not zoned Special 25 and 26 are zoned “Future Urban Zone” as set out in the current ADP:RS, and PC 15 PC 5 and PC 123 1 Subject to the amendments as described below and in the Plan Change document (Attachment A)1, and That the submissions be accepted, accepted in part or rejected according to the reasons set out in this decision report. It is noted that the proposed changes were initiated prior to the formation of the Auckland Council. Rodney District Council (RDC) had applied to the Auckland Regional Council to extend the MUL and the urban air quality management area, and had initiated the proposed Special 25 (Hibiscus Coast Gateway Specialist Retail) Zone and Special 26 (Hibiscus Coast Gateway Recreation and Entertainment) Zone change to its District Plan. Given the establishment of the Auckland Council, a unitary authority, the proposed changes have been treated as an integrated ‘package’. 2. Delegation The Commissioners were delegated full responsibility by the Auckland Council’s Hearings Committee to make decisions on submissions on the Changes and Variation (“the proposed plan changes”) as described above pursuant to section 34A of the Resource Management Act 1991 (“RMA”). 3.

The Hearing PC 15 PC 5 and PC 123 3 Hearing The hearing was held on the 18th and 19th October 2012 and then adjourned while additional information was obtained from the Council Officers on the ‘alternative proposal’ put forward by a number of submitters. The hearing was reconvened on the 19th February 2013. Hearing Closed The hearing was closed on the 8th March 2013. 5. Waiver of time limit to issue the decisions The Proposed Plan Changes were publicly notified on 24 June 2010, with a closing date for submissions of 23 July 2010. The summary of submissions was publicly notified on 26 August 2010. The period for further submissions closed on 9 September 2010. Under clause 10(4) of the First Schedule of the RMA: The local authority must- (a) give its decision no later than 2 years after notifying the proposed policy statement of plan under clause 5: and (b) publicly notify the decision within the same time. The two year time frame for making a decision on these plan changes passed on 24 June 2012. Section 37 of the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) provides for extensions of time. The ‘2 years’ of Clause 10 of the First Schedule to the RMA can, if necessary, be doubled. We record here that the Council had extended the time frame for making a decision on Plan Change 123 on 8 August 2012 for a period of 12 months (i.e. until 8 August 2013). For consistency the Commissioners have granted the same waiver in relation to the MUL extension under the ARPS and the Air Quality Management Area under the ARP:ALW. 6. Overview of the Plan Changes 6.1 Introduction The Auckland Council has sought to extend the Metropolitan Urban Limit (MUL) over approximately 95 hectares of what is presently rurally zoned land adjacent to State Highway 1 at Silverdale. A change is also sought to ARP:ALW (PC 6) for the same area of land. This is to change the Air Quality Management Area from Rural to Urban. Simultaneously, a zone change has been sought to the District Plan to rezone this land from General Rural to Special 26 (Hibiscus Coast Gateway Recreation and Entertainment) Zone and Special 25 (Hibiscus Coast Gateway Specialist Retail) Zone. 6.2 Location The site is located between East Coast Rd, the Hibiscus Coast Highway, the Northern Motorway (SH1), and the southern boundary of the “Snow Planet” site. The land is currently zoned General Rural. PC 15 PC 5 and PC 123 4 The land generally slopes down from East Coast Rd to the motorway and has some flatter areas in the north. The land is mostly in pasture but parts of the area are used for retail activities (Kings Plant Barn and associated shops) and recreation activities (Go-Karts and the “Snowplanet”), as well as the Park and Ride facility which is currently under construction. These activities were established by way of resource consent applications. The plan change material notes that part of the land, specifically that close to East Coast Road, has some geotechnical issues associated with it. The land contains a number of small watercourses and riparian areas that form part of John Creek which discharge into the Weiti Stream. SILVERDALE N PC15 & PC5 area Figure 1: Location of PC15 and PC5 6.3 The Proposed Changes MUL Extension The request from the former RDC (now Auckland Council) to change the MUL, pursuant to the RMA Schedule 1 Clause 21(3), was considered by the former Auckland Regional Council (ARC) (now Auckland Council) in April 2010. The ARC resolved to accept the request in whole. The request is to extend the MUL as shown in the location plan above. Air Quality Management Area. The proposed area of change is currently within a Rural Air Quality Management Area. Under 3.12.1 of the ARP:ALW any extension to the MUL requires a corresponding shift in the Urban Air Quality Management Area (UAQMA). The UAQMA seeks to ensure a high level of amenity and to protect human health, particularly for sensitive sectors of the population, from the adverse effects of air discharges. PC5 is the associated response to the MUL extension and Special 25 and 26 zoning sought by the Council. PC 15 PC 5 and PC 123 5 Land Use Zone Change Sought Proposed Plan Change 123 alters the Auckland Council District Plan (Rodney Section) by the rezoning of the area from rural to Special 26 (Hibiscus Coast Gateway Recreation and Entertainment) Zone and Special 25 (Hibiscus Coast Gateway Specialist Retail) Zone.

Charlotte Grieve, 2016. 6.1 Analysis Maps Hibiscus Coast Subdivision Auckland Context This map shows the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board area in its wider context within the Auckland Isthmus, located along the east coast of the North Shore. The Hibiscus and Bays Local Board area is split into two subdivisions; Hibiscus Coast Subdivision and East Coast Bays Subdivision. For the purposes of the analysis mapping that follows, each subdivision has been presented separately in order to allow the information to be read at a legible scale. The area is bordered by Rodney, Upper Harbour, and Devonport - Takapuna Local Board areas. The Hibiscus and Bays Local Board area is home to a number of local town centres, including Orewa, Whangaparaoa, Silverdale, Northcross, Browns Bay, and Mairangi Bay. At this scale there are a number of items of interest to be considered in the creation of a Greenways network: • The Te Araroa national walkway runs along the coast of this area. • There are no rail services to the area. • SH1 runs along the western edge of the Hibiscus Coast subdivision. • The board area has an extremely high ratio of coastline to land area. • In terms of overall size, this is one of the largest non-rural board areas. A more detailed analysis of the underlying factors that have shaped this Greenways plan is explained in this section, the Hibiscus Coast subdivision first, followed by East Coast Bays.

A magnetic North steering tool (transmitter) located in a non-magnetic steering head utilizes true magnetic north to obtain direction (Azimuth). A wire inside every drill rode transports the information back to the drill operator and is displayed on a laptop. This system requires no above ground walkover and is ideal for river crossings, deep drills under built up areas and deep drills through hills or bluffs. Special computer software interprets the transmitter information and plots a long section and plan of the pilot drills progression.
