Timeline:
This page will be updated when new information is available.
The application documents are available on the right-hand side of this page.
We have completed our assessment under s104 of the Resource Management Act (RMA) 1991. We have found that:
We’ve been alerted to several concerns, which we’ve summarised below. There are different responsibilities under the RMA, and we’ve listed which council is responsible for each.
Issue | Possible effects and mitigation | Who's responsible for monitoring it? |
Earthworks | Discharges from earthworks, including sediment laden stormwater, may need to be managed onsite by implementing best practice erosion and sediment control. A new application is likely to need to be reviewed by external erosion and sediment control experts on our behalf. | Greater Wellington |
Stormwater discharge | Water Sensitive Urban Design measures in the design could ensure stormwater discharging into Evans Bay is of acceptable quality. The application will need to be reviewed by a stormwater consultant. | Greater Wellington |
Seawall and coastal works | We have not received a consent application for seawall works, or works in the coastal marine environment. If consent is required and applied for, we’ll consider the design of the structures guided by the policy direction under the Proposed Natural Resources Plan. | Greater Wellington |
Little Blue Penguins | Effects on Little Blue Penguins will be considered as part of the consenting process. If consents are issued, we’ll include conditions to ensure effects on penguins are avoided. | Greater Wellington |
Hutt Valley Aquifer | Works are unlikely to affect the aquifer in any capacity. | Greater Wellington |
Road widening | We anticipate that there will not be a proposal to widen Shelly Bay road into the Coastal Marine Area. | Wellington City Council |
Vehicle movements during and after construction | Not within the scope of an application with Greater Wellington. Traffic safety is considered by WCC. | Wellington City Council |
Wastewater overflows | We are not consenting wastewater overflows into the coastal marine area. The capacity of the wastewater infrastructure was assessed when WCC granted consent for the masterplan development. Please refer to section 51 - 70. | Wellington City Council |
Risk of sea level rise | Sea level rise considerations are limited to the activities we are consenting. Sea level rise associated effects were assessed when WCC granted consent for the masterplan development. You can see this in the decision document (refer to section 137 – 140). | Wellington City Council |
