Dear Eliana   
 
Local Government Official Information And Meetings Act 1987 
Bike-path around the Favona foreshore 
 
I refer to your request which we received on 30 August 2019, regarding all information 
regarding the processes and considerations undertaken in deciding on and implementing the 
cycleway/bike-path around the Favona foreshore of the Manukau Harbour.  
 
We transferred your request to Auckland Transport (AT) because your request 
appeared to be more closely aligned with the functions of AT. However, after you clarified 
your request as being for: 
 
The full and complete information for is regarding the cycleway between Saleyards 
Road in Otahuhu and Mahunga Drive in Favona. 
 
We have now agreed with AT that the council are best placed to respond.  
 
I also refer to our email to you on 25 September, acknowledging your request and extending 
the timeframe for us to respond to your request. Thank you for your patience while we have 
worked on this response. 
 
In response to your request, I consulted with the council’s Community Facilities department 
to provide information relevant to your request. 
 
Please find following information attached: 
Safety plan of work and the path  
-  Norana Esplanade Walkway (Stage 1 and 2) Project Safety Plan; and 
-  Updated CPTED safety assessment of proposed walkway.  
  
Resource consents 
Resource consents were granted for stage 1 and stage 2 of the walkway development on a 
non-notified basis. A copy of both consent decisions for Stage 1 and Stage 2 (BUN60307713 
& BUN60318240) is attached.  
Consultation process 
The council has consulted on the proposed walkway on more than one occasion.  It is for the 
council to determine the nature of that consultation. The Local Government Act 2002 gives 
councils a broad discretion as to whether to consult, and if so, how to conduct that process.

-  a special consultative procedure on the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Paths Plan, with the 
wider local board area; and 
-  through specific consultation on the concept plan for the walkway with the local
