Project status and anticipated construction timeframes

This project is currently in the appeal period. Submitters had 15 working days in which they could appeal to the Environment Court, against the whole or any part of the decision from AT. Appeals are under Section 174 of the Resource Management Act 1991.  

 

During this process AT works together with appellants to come to a resolution.  If both parties can't resolve the appeal independently, the Environment Court can appoint a mediator to facilitate the conversation. If a resolution can't be reached through court assisted mediation, then an Environment Court hearing will take place, and the Environment Court will issue a decision on the outcome.

There is currently no funding for detailed design or construction of this project. We anticipate the project will be delivered sometime within the next 30 years in line with Auckland Council’s land release strategy.
