Under section 142(2) of the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA), I direct those matters to be referred to the Environment Court for decision. My reasons are as follows: National Significance I consider the matters are part of a proposal of national significance having given regard to the following relevant factors in section 142(3) of the RMA: a) The issues the plan changes aim to address have aroused widespread public concern or interest regarding their actual or likely effect on the environment, as indicated by the Skelton Investigation; b) The plan changes involve or are likely to involve the significant use of natural and physical resources while managing the impact of that use on the environment; c) The plan changes affect or are likely to affect areas of national significance noting that Otago freshwater catchments provide a habitat for a suite of nationally important non-migratory Galaxias taxas; d) The plan changes are part of the ORC’s programme to give effect to the National Policy Statement on Freshwater Management; e) Failure to implement the plan changes has the potential to result in significant and irreversible changes to the environment; f) The plan changes are or are likely to be significant in terms of section 8 of the RMA given they are likely to be of high interest to Iwi because of the significance of freshwater management to Māori; and g) The plan changes will affect more than one district given that they will apply across the whole Otago region. Direction to the Environment Court I direct that the proposed Omnibus Plan Change be referred to the Environment Court for decision because: a) Calling in the related plan changes as parts of a proposal of national significance for a decision at the same time would: i. assist the Otago Regional Council by allowing its staff to focus on developing a new Land and Water Regional Plan; and ii. avoid potential delays associated with the Schedule 1 process of the RMA that could complicate the development of a new Land and Water Regional Plan. b) The current COVID-19 situation would make the appointment of suitable members to a board of inquiry difficult in a short timeframe whereas the Environment Court process would provide surety in terms of progressing a decision on the matters. Page 1 of 2 In reaching my decision I considered: a) The Environmental Protection Authority recommendation that I refer the matters to the Environment Court; b) The views of the Otago Regional Council, being the applicant and the relevant local authority that would have processed and decided the matters if I had not directed that they be referred to the Environment Court for decision; and c) The capacity of the Otago Regional Council to process the matters.

Existing planning provisions to manage freshwater are inadequate and the expiry of the Otago mining privileges (deemed permits) is only two years away. There are also growing challenges for the state of the freshwater resource in Otago in view of the high level of water abstraction and the significant alteration of natural flows, ecosystems and habitat for indigenous flora and fauna.

    2018 update of the Otago Southland Regional Land Transport Plans 2015-2021 Descriptions of prioritised activities and projects for 2018-21 The committees have prioritised the larger projects into two priority bands, taking into account the benefits that each project would help realise, whether it forms part of an integrated programme of works for a particular area, and whether it is of inter-regional significance. Projects for which insufficient information is available to judge how the results will align with RLTP strategy are included in the lower priority band; this applies to a suite of NZTA safety projects for Otago that are in the 2018 Transport Agency Investment Plan. Integrated programmes of work are kept within a single prioritisation category, since all projects within such a programme need to be implemented in order to realise the anticipated benefits. Priority One projects – Southland NZTA Project Name: SH 1 - Edendale Realignment Item No 19 & 23 Organisation NZTA Project Funding $13,178,058 Project Years 2015 to 2018 Project description Issues with variations in the speed limits through the Edendale township and a right-angled bend with an adjacent intersection and level crossing all located within a short section of highway. Any expansion of Fonterra’s plant will generate additional traffic, which will travel past residential properties and a school. The project will provide a bypass to the township, with appropriate connections to the Fonterra plant.

  • Tomasi SHA, Arthurs Point Transport Assessment
    19 October 2017 Bullendale Developments Limited C/- Momentum Projects By email Attention: Shane Fairmaid Dear Shane, Tomasi SHA, Arthurs Point Transport Assessment The purpose of this letter is to provide a high level transport assessment for a proposed Tomasi Special Housing Area (SHA) to be created at Arthurs Point, Queenstown. The assessment will consider if there is additional capacity within the existing transport infrastructure to accommodate the proposed development. 1 Background The proposed SHA, Tomasi, is an extension of Bullendale at 157 Arthurs Point Road. The Tomasi development is to be located within Lot 2 DP12913 and will be accessed through the Bullendale Subdivision which is a SHA created under consent approval SH160143. Bullendale is not fully constructed although design drawings have been approved for the access from Arthurs Point Road. This high level transport assessment utilises the detailed design for Bullendale as well as traffic modelling and analysis undertaken during the consent stage. 2 Existing Transport Network For the purposes of this assessment it is assumed that the existing transport network will include infrastructure which has been consented and is being constructed within the Bullendale subdivision, refer SH160143. Bullendale will establish a new residential access road, Bullendale Drive, which will be formed as a Suburban Local Road1. This road will have a 5.5m movement lane with separate footpaths and indented on-street parking. This road type can serve up to 200 residential dwellings. Bullendale Drive is consented to serve 88 residential dwellings within at Bullendale. Bullendale Drive is to be accessed from Arthurs Point Road. This intersection has been consented and the detailed design has engineering approval.

    GUIDEGIG LAKES WEEKLY PAGE 15 21st Jul - 27th BULLETIN FIRST ON THE STREET No 760 WWW.LWB.CO.NZ • BUY • ACCOMMODATION • SELL • INFORMATION • JOBS • [email protected] Boom Scandal Gone I suppose 3 different MP’s in as many terms of government is par for the course in some electorates. Those contestable seats that fl ip and fl op from Labour to National and back again. But here in the Clutha Southland, now Southland electorate we have been wrapped in the blue blanket of the National Party forever. Like it or not. I was excited when National chose a young progressive MP in Todd Barclay after Bill English went to the list. Not that I particularly care for National over Labour but because he was not a farmer. Maybe would give a hoot about the Wakatipu a tad more than Bill did, and that hope came to pass as Todd moved into the neighbourhood in Arrowtown. He spent time with the local business community and learnt what help we needed from central government. Then BOOM. Scandal and gone. Then along came Hamish Walker. Another likeable young bloke. Maybe a little more country than I would like but without a doubt a hard worker. He went into bat for all sorts of social, community and business-related concerns this huge and diverse electorate had. He was available at his Frankton offi ce, answered calls and things were looking up. Life is about building relationships and with Hamish, hopes were high that the Wakatipu #getbumped at the Queenstown Ice Arena in our all new Ice would have a long-term advocate.
