Registered as a party to the Environment Court proceedings

Drive Holdings have appealed the Council's decision to decline the resource consent for the Mission Bay development.  We, in turn, have filed what is known as an s274 notice to join the Residents Association as a party to the proceedings.  This preserves our rights to be involved in the proceedings right through to the Environment Court, should it get that far.

​We are unsure of the exact process going forward, but basically, all parties have an opportunity to make further submissions on issues already raised, then all parties will be asked to attend mediation to see whether there is any way that the differences can be resolved without going to court, and if there is no settlement, then the case goes to the Environment Court.  The process is expected to take more than a year.
