Mission Bay development

Picture
We have been fighting a proposal to build a complex of up to 8 storeys and 28m high on the corner of Tamaki Drive and Patteson Ave.  This is completely out of line with the Unitary Plan rules which envision 4 storeys or 16 m height, and it is also totally inappropriate for Mission Bay.

The proposal has been rejected every step of the way by consenting authorities:
  • Auckland Council Design Panel
  • Auckland Council Hearings Panel
  • the Environment Court
  • most recently, the High Court.

We are waiting to see if it is appealed to the Appeals Court, or whether the development as proposed is dead.

​
While this project is looking increasingly unlikely to proceed in its current form, there is little doubt that the site will be redeveloped at some point, as it is one of the prime development sites in Auckland. Our goal will be to work with a developer to ensure that we get a great development that fits well into the Mission Bay environment and provides adequate space for services for local residents. This would include retaining the upstairs hospitality space, improving al fresco dining options and ensuring adequate space to meet the needs of a growing local community.

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.
