Proposed work / project: The works described in this OPW relate to the Aotea Station main works which are located along Albert Street, between the intersection of Wyndham Street and Wellesley Street. Additional excavations branch off from the tunnel alignment at Kingston Street (to form the plenum), Victoria Street (for two entrance buildings to the Aotea Station) and Wellesley Street (to form the main station structure). The main elements of the Aotea Station main works relate to foundation works, station construction and internal and structural fitouts.
Recommendation I have read the outline plan of works (OPW), supporting documents, and the report and recommendations on the OPW. I am familiar with the site and surrounds. I am satisfied that I have sufficient information to consider the matters required by the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) and make a recommendation under delegated authority. Acting under delegated authority, under section 176A, Auckland Council makes no requests for changes to the outline plan of works, as detailed in the documentation in Schedule 1, because: • • •
The proposed works / project are within the scope of the designation (and associated conditions); The outline plan of works has sufficient detail to describe the proposed works and any proposed measures to manage adverse effects under s176A(3); and These proposed works include appropriate measures to manage any adverse effects.
Advice notes 1.
This recommendation on the outline plan of works recognises the scope of works enabled under the designation. This covers only any activity that would otherwise infringe a rule in a district plan under the RMA. The requiring authority is responsible for identifying and obtaining all other necessary consents and permits. These may include: •
• • • •
Any relevant resource consents both under any relevant national environmental standard (e.g. NES for assessing and managing contaminants in soil to protect human health), and any relevant operative or proposed regional rules under the Auckland Unitary Plan (Operative in Part); the Building Act 2004; the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015; the Property Law Act 2007; any relevant Auckland Council bylaws; and
