I refer to your Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act
request of 31 August 2024 regarding legal and regulatory documentation on
the Tarawera Sewerage pipeline, and respond to your specific requests
below:

 

 1. Details on the legal advice obtained by the Rotorua Lakes Council
regarding the ability to proceed with the sewage pipeline near Lake
Rotokākahi, including any identified risks.

 

Attached is a letter (ECM 20454692) sent to Lake Tarawera ratepayers on
the ruling of the District Court Judge following Council’s application for
an injunction to prevent unlawful interference and disruption to the
Tarawera Sewerage Scheme. 

 

 2. Copies of all resource consents and conditions related to the
protection of cultural and environmental sites near the pipeline
route, particularly those pertaining to Lake Rotokākahi.

 

Resource consent is not required for thrusting pipeline under the road in
the road corridor.

 

Additionally, resource consent is not required for works in and around the
Te Wairoa Stream as the activity complies with the conditions specified in
the BOP Regional Natural Resources Plan, rule BW R9 (Rule 56)- Bay of
Plenty Natural Resources Plan (updated 2023).  The works are considered a
permitted activity under this Plan. 

Please see the attached excerpt (ECM 20644747) from the BOP Regional
