The New Zealand Transport Agency gives notice of a requirement for an Alteration to a Designation: The Transport Agency gives notice to alter Designation D09-32 within the Auckland Council District Plan (Isthmus Section) 1999 (“the District Plan”). Designation D09-32 is currently noted within the District Plan as: “12.2 Metre Height Restriction, Newmarket Viaduct Area. Affecting land within 76.2 metres of centre line of Newmarket Viaduct” There are no conditions attached to the Designation. The Designation is to be altered within the District Plan to read: “Newmarket Viaduct Protection, Building Limitation and Excavation Restriction” The purpose of the Designation is to be recorded as: “ The designation is for the purpose of ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the Newmarket Viaduct (as part of State Highway 1). This enables the Transport Agency to manage land use effects which may impact on the operation, maintenance and structural integrity of the Newmarket Viaduct. The designation does not enable the NZ Transport Agency to undertake any physical works relating to the Newmarket Viaduct which is already covered under Designation A07-01B Motorway: Newmarket Viaduct Improvement Project.” As the proposed alteration does not involve any physical works, no conditions will be imposed on the Transport Agency. However, the proposed designation notation now clarifies the circumstances in which the Transport Agency’s approval for development is required under s176 of the Resource Management Act 1991 and provides advice notes to set out how actual or potential effects on the Newmarket Viaduct will be assessed. A full copy of the proposed alteration is contained within Appendix 3 of the accompanying report. 2. The site to which the alteration applies is as follows: The altered designation extends 37m north of, and 29.5m south of the Newmarket Viaduct. The Newmarket Viaduct traverses the central-southern portion of the Newmarket i NZ Transport Agency NOR for Alteration to Designation D09-32 metropolitan centre and is essentially a curved bridge spanning from an abutment north of Gillies Avenue, to an abutment adjacent to the St Mark’s Road on-ramp. At its highest point, the Viaduct sits approximately 24 metres above the ground level of Newmarket. Below and adjacent to the Newmarket Viaduct, the area subject to this alteration predominantly features a mixture of retail, large format retail, at-grade parking, automotive servicing, car-yards, medium to low-intensity residential, and recreational uses, typically ranging between 1 and 3 storeys in height. A full description of the site and surrounding environment is contained within Section 4.0 of the accompanying report. 3.

The majority of this land is under the control of the Transport Agency, Auckland Transport (via the local road network) and KiwiRail. Copies of the relevant Certificates of Title and plans for the existing and proposed designation are attached within Appendix 1 of the accompanying report. 4. Alternative sites, routes and methods have been considered to the following extent: As this Project relates to an alteration of a designation under s168(2)(b) of the RMA to protect an existing, fixed public work (the Newmarket Viaduct), the consideration of alternative sites or routes was not considered necessary. As such, the assessment of alternatives was limited to a consideration of the alternative statutory methods available to meet the project objectives. These are contained within Section 5.0 of the accompanying report. The assessment of alternatives concluded that an alteration to Designation D09-32 would provide the greatest amount of certainty to the Transport Agency that it could continue to manage and operate the Newmarket Viaduct in a way which will not compromise the efficiency of the State highway network or the safety of users of that network in line with the project objectives.
