Just to let you know, I completed another routine monitoring of resource consent RC6129 site inspection on Tuesday
and all works appear compliant with the consent. This will finish the Resource Consents' Teams monitoring of this
consent.
I would recommend that the disturbed grass area in the southern car park, which I believe was disturbed as a result of
this project, is re-grassed without further delay. It's now been naked for just over 1 month.
Kind Regards,

Hi all
There was no low tide sand removal, we just used the carpark sand as fill and regraded the dune face.
The stormwater outlet has got sand cover over rock, I will plant the top shortly but only expect the back area
to maintain vegetation and sand cover long term. The rocks wil be exposed with high stormwater and sea
levels in future.
A dune post and cable fence is being erected to protect the dune this week.

Hi Katie,
I can confirm that I monitored the land use resource consent RC6129 this afternoon and can confirm
that all works appear compliant at this stage.
I noted that there still appears to be work to be done on the stormwater outlet (namely more rocks
placed here to protect the new small earth mounds that have been created and planting).
I also noted that there apepared to be no evidence of the proposed excavation area just above the
low tide mark, so I'm assuming that the excavation has been undertaken and the beach contour has
returned back to its natural state.
We will monitor the works again within one month.
Happy to discuss further.
Kind Regards,
Chanelle

Hi Chanelle,
Could you please let me know when you have been down to the beach and whether you
have any comments regarding our works?
I will be working on the below OIA request this week and if there is anything I should now
from your end of things it would be useful.
Thanks

Hello Gary
In the last two days there has been significant construction activity occurring at the
southern end of Titahi Bay. I can provide photos if required. This work has been
undertaken by, or on behalf of, the Council.
This work is of a nature and scale that resource consent is required under the rules
of the district plan for Porirua City and/or the rules of the regional coastal plan for
Wellington Region; namely,
- in the case of the provisions of Porirua’s District Plan the permitted surface
area for earthworks specified in section D3.2.1 of the Plan has been
exceeded; and/or,
- the activity (which has encompassed driving on a restricted area of the
beach (ie; below MHWS and between the surf club and South Beach Access
Road) is prohibited by Rule 82 of the Regional Coastal Plan as it doesn’t
involve “beach grooming and re-contouring” because the material removed
from the foreshore has included sand and has not been restricted to marine
debris, litter or dead seaweed.
I also note the work to which I refer includes excavations and recontouring around
the stormwater drain outlet beneath South Beach Access Road.

I presume that the Council has already investigated its obligations and
responsibilities under the RMAct in particular sections 9, 12 and 13 of the RMAct.
Further to the above, please provide me with the following information:
- whether or not the Council has concluded that the work it has, and/or is
planning to undertake, complies with the RMAct; and,
- if the Council has concluded that the work it has, and/or is planning to
undertake, complies with the RMAct, a copy of the information which has
enabled the Council to come to that conclusion; and,
- if the Council has concluded that the work it has, and/or is planning to
undertake, does not comply with the RMAct, what actions it will carry out to
rectify this.
The information requested can be emailed to me at this @xtra.co.nz address or
posted to:
Regards
