Clarke) 3 1. SUMMARY 1.1 My name is Larissa Blair Clarke. I am a Planner in the Unitary Plan Team within the ‘Plans and Places’ Division of the Chief Planning Office at Auckland Council. I am providing planning evidence for Auckland Council (Council) in relation to Topic 081 Geographic Rezoning and Precincts, in particular in relation to the Waimana Point Precinct located at the eastern end of Algies Bay in the Mahurangi Peninsular falling within the ‘Walkworth and Snells area’ for the purposes of rezoning. 1.2 My evidence considers both the purpose of the Waimana Point precinct in relation to the PAUP including the zone, Auckland wide and Overlay provisions; and consider submissions received by the Council in relation to the precinct 1.3 I support the retention of the Waimana Point Precinct subject to the amendments to the Precinct from the notified version of the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan (PAUP) set out in my evidence and represented in track changes at Attachment C. 1.4 The Waimana Point precinct originates from scheduled activity 329 in the Auckland Council Operative District Plan: Rodney Section 2011 (operative plan). The purpose of the precinct as set out in the PAUP as notified is to provide for the future development of the headland to accommodate residential development at a density considered suitable for the locality and not compromise the natural features or landscape values of the Waimana Point headland which is located to the east of Algies Bay. 1.5 This evidence discusses the evolution of the precinct into the PAUP, the changes sought by submitters in relation to the precinct and the amendments proposed by Council both in response to relief sought by submitters and in relation the best practice approach to precincts discussed in the evidence of John Duguid for Topic 080. With respect to those principles: 1.6 The precinct, underlain by the Large Lot zone is subject to the following overlays and mapped information: (a) Site of value Mana Whenua- ID 1656 (as notified and as recommended by Council) (b) Significant Ecological Area (Terrestrial) 2425 (Threat status and rarity) (as notified and as recommended by Council) 081b Ak Cncl – Rodeny - Walkworth/Snells – Precinct - Waimana Point- Planning (L. Clarke) 4 (c) Coastal Storm inundation 1% AEP (Non-statutory as recommended by Council) +1m sea level rise; (d) Flood plain 1 % AEP (non-statutory); (e) Auckland-wide natural hazards: Assessment would be required where slopes exceed 1:7 under H.4.11 ‘Natural hazards’ Auckland wide rules; (f) Macroinvertabrate Community Index (MCI) (non-stat) area to the south of the site, part rural/ part urban land cover base. 1.7 The precinct reflects the development of the planning framework, resulting from community engagement through plan changes to the Operative Plan. It does not override any Overlays; the provisions of the Significant Ecological Areas (SEAs) and the identified Site of Significance to Mana Whenua remain applicable to the precinct. In my view the purpose of the precinct cannot be achieved through the use of the underlying zone and Auckland-wide provisions alone. 1.8 I consider the underlying zone appropriate to apply in addition to the provisions included in the precinct, and therefore the creation of a new zone, or use of a different zone is not supported. 1.9 The structure of the precinct has been refined to include three sub-precincts within which density and subdivision site size are restricted. 1.10 The precinct provides for consideration of landscape matters including both the impacts of development of the prominent headland encompassed within the precinct and the impact of development as viewed from the surrounding areas including Algies Bay, Scandrett Regional Park, the coast and public roads. The main differences between the precinct and the Large Lot zones and Auckland-wide rules are set out in Table 1 below. This is reflected thought through the variation of the development controls in the Large Lot zone and Auckland- Wide subdivision provisions: Main precinct provision Difference from PAUP provisions or group of changes Objectives and policies Require consideration of important landscape and natural character values of the precinct. This differs 081b Ak Cncl – Rodeny - Walkworth/Snells – Precinct - Waimana Point- Planning (L. Clarke) 5 from the more generic consideration in the large Lot and Auckland wide subdivision provisions and is more restrictive in terms of the controls the policy supports. Special Information Additional requirement that all Restricted Discretionary Requirement Activities (RDAs) activities provide a landscape plan. Development Activity table -Buildings Buildings including accessory buildings are all considered as RDA. This is more restrictive than the Large Lot zone and includes additional matters for discretion and assessment criteria. Land use control- density More restrictive than the underlying zone, limitings the total number of dwellings within the precinct and sub- precinct areas. Development Control- More restrictive than the underlying zone, requiring - Yards Requires a greater set back from any boundary with Lot 2 (being the esplanade reserve surrounding the precinct). Development Control- More restrictive than the Large Lot zone, requiring - Height buildings in proximity (within 50m) to the ridgeline be less than 6m in height. Subdivision Activity table -Subdivision Subdivision within the Sub-precinct A and B will be considered as RDA under the precinct provisions. This is generally the same consent ‘status’ as the Auckland wide provisions. The precinct also includes include additional matters for discretion and assessment criteria which reflect the maters set in the policy framework. Sub-precinct C will not provide for further subdivision with a non-complying activity status assigned to subdivision within this area of the precinct. 081b Ak Cncl – Rodeny - Walkworth/Snells – Precinct - Waimana Point- Planning (L. Clarke) 6 Restricted Discretionary More restrictive than the Auckland wide controls, limits Activity Subdivision the number of sites that may be created within each Controls sub-precinct area as a RDA. 1.11 Changes have also been made to the notified precinct provisions

  • Auckland Region
    © Lonely Planet Publications 96 lonelyplanet.com 97 AUCKLAND REGION Auckland Region AUCKLAND REGION Paris may be the city of love, but Auckland is the city of many lovers, according to its Maori name, Tamaki Makaurau. In fact, her lovers so desired this beautiful place that they fought over her for centuries. It’s hard to imagine a more geographically blessed city. Its two magnificent harbours frame a narrow isthmus punctuated by volcanic cones and surrounded by fertile farmland. From any of its numerous vantage points you’ll be astounded at how close the Tasman Sea and Pacific Ocean come to kissing and forming a new island. As a result, water’s never far away – whether it’s the ruggedly beautiful west-coast surf beaches or the glistening Hauraki Gulf with its myriad islands. The 135,000 pleasure crafts filling Auckland’s marinas have lent the city its most durable nickname: the ‘City of Sails’. Within an hour’s drive from the high-rise heart of the city are dense tracts of rainforest, thermal springs, deserted beaches, wineries and wildlife reserves. Yet big-city comforts have spread to all corners of the Auckland Region: a decent coffee or chardonnay is usually close at hand. Yet the rest of the country loves to hate it, tut-tutting about its traffic snarls and the supposed self-obsession of the quarter of the country’s population that call it home. With its many riches, Auckland can justifiably respond to its detractors, ‘Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful’. HIGHLIGHTS Going with the flows, exploring Auckland’s fascinating volcanic

The Mahurangi Purchase, completed in 1854, spanned from Te Arai Point in the north, to the northern shoreline of the Waitematā. The area referred to by the settlers as Mahurangi, however, was much smaller, as Dr Ronald Locker, A history of the Mahurangi in Jade River: A History of the Mahurangi, states: The Bay (or Bight) of Mahurangi meant to early [European] mariners, the enclosed waters from Kawau to Tiritiri Matangi.1 The area generally considered to be Mahurangi has probably shrunk, but the circulation area of local newspaper Mahurangi Matters extends from Mangawhai in the north, south to the Waiwera River, at which point its sister title, the Hibiscus Coast Matters takes over.
