The Ports fight is Heating Up
On Friday Urban Auckland sent a letter to Auckland Council saying that an application for a Judicial review of the wharf extension decision will be lodged with the High Court next Thursday.
The letter states that –
Urban Auckland places you on notice that it intends shortly to issue High Court proceedings to challenge the lawfulness of the decisions made by Auckland Council to process the multiple applications by Ports of Auckland Limited for its proposed B2 and B3 Bledisloe wharf extensions on a non-notified basis and subsequently to grant those applications.
The letter goes on to say that -The process advanced, and acceded to by the Council, was the antithesis of integrated consent processing under the Resource Management Act.
I talked about the Judicial Review with Julie Stout of Urban Auckland and Michael Goldwater of Stop Ports Stealing Our Harbour on Friday. |
