The City Delivery Committee today recommended that Council reclassify 11 parcels of land alongside the Porirua Stream as reserve.
The
land is currently classified as drainage says City Delivery Chair Anita Baker.
“Changing the purpose of the land from drainage to reserve under Section 14 of
the Reserves Act 1977 will mean that it can be more appropriately managed,” she
says.
“The
11 parcels of land are currently held under a variety of acts and
classifications, which makes it difficult to manage and time consuming to
track. It’s also meant that any outstanding agreements about flood protection
management between Greater Wellington Regional Council and Porirua City haven’t
been able to be actioned.”
Under
the Reserves Act, there’s a one month public notification period once an
application has been made. More information is available at the Council’s
administration building and at Porirua Library. After any objections have been
heard Porirua Council will approach LINZ to have the land reclassified.
