Just in and as we feared:
Two appeals have been lodged with the Environment Court in relation to the resource consent application granted by independent commissioners for SkyPath earlier this month.
Resource consent for the project, which would see a combined pedestrian and cycle pathway attached to the Auckland Harbour Bridge, was granted to Woodward Infrastructure Ltd on 3 July. Submitters then had 15 working days to appeal the decision.
The appeals, by the Northcote Residents’ Association and the Northcote Point Heritage Preservation Society, relate to the entire resource consent application.
Auckland Council is considering its approach to the appeal.

Will post more once Auckland Council has considered its approach to the appeal.

From Radio New Zealand:
The cost of all day parking at Auckland’s council-owned parking buildings is to rise by 40 percent, and some evening rates by 50 percent.
From next month it will cost $24 to park all day at the council’s three central city buildings at Downtown, the Civic and Victoria Street.
The city’s transport agency said the removal of an early-bird discount, last December, had failed to cut the number of commuters choosing to drive into the city and park all day.
It will also boost the evening flat rate in the Civic Car Park from $8 to $12, and by a smaller amount at the other two buildings.
Auckland Transport wants to free up more spaces for short term parking, and hourly short term charges remain unchanged.
