Subject: Official Information request - Developments within the Te Atatu
"restricted capacity" water network

 

Dear Auckland Council,

I have sent this same request to Watercare, but I would like information
from Auckland Council on consents that contain decision around the
restricted water network and consents if this information contains
decisions by Auckland Council personnel rather than Watercare personnel.

For some time, Watercare have noted that Te Atatu Peninsula is an area
with "limited capacity"
([2]https://www.watercare.co.nz/builders-and...),
at times being labelled a "red zone" for wastewater
([3]https://www.oneroof.co.nz/news/watercare...).

We have noted ongoing resource and building consents granted during this
period, including consents for 13 new units on Dawnhaven Drive.

Please provide the following information:
1. Timeline from when development constraints (if any) were recommended
for Te Atatu Peninsula
2. Since the capacity constraints have been understood (or since 2024 if
no constraints have in fact been put in place): information about Auckland
Concil decisions on resource consents granted in Te Atatu Peninsula where
more than 4 units are replacing one unit (e.g. 2 single dwellings being
converted to 8 or more units, or one single dwelling being converted to 4
or more).
3. Where permission has been granted, the reasons for granting this
permission despite the "restricted capacity" zone, and reasons why the
development should go ahead despite the "restricted capacity".

Yours faithfully,

Ben Gracewood
