International Convention Centre – Non Notifiable Consents Decided
Resource Consent Application to be Non Notifiable
I wonder if this will be challenged in the High Court like the Ports of Auckland saga. Non Notifiable means it does not go out for full notification and the public subsequently can submit on the consent.
From Auckland Council:
New Zealand International Convention Centre (NZICC) notification decision
Independent commissioners have decided that the resource consent application for the NZICC will proceed on a non-notified basis.
A second decision on whether to approve the application will be made by the same commissioners in the coming months.
The commissioners have considered the environmental effects of the application, as well as the recent decision about the Ports of Auckland Ltd resource consent application, in coming to their conclusion on notification.
The decision, planners report and an FAQ are available here.
