reclamation permitted use controls port otago height increase proposal DCC about face careys bay press release visual pollution photos points to ponder. court statements port otago have uttered previously

We are interested and bemused that after spending so much time in an environmental hearing determining the adverse effects of reclamations at Boiler Point on the surrounding residential village of Careys Bay, and after such clear and concise controls were placed on the reclaiming of the harbour at Boiler Point by that court hearing, the DCC decided, (erroneously), that the Port Company didn't even require a resource consent (let alone a notified resource consent) to errect a warehouse which contravened those controls.

This is why we are asking the DCC that we wish to be notified when a resource consent is sought to rectify this illegality (as it certainly must be for the building to be continued to be used at all), and we are watching the situation to see if the illegal building in question (Warehouse 'C') continues to be used while it doesn't have the required resource consent. 

The controls on the reclamation at this point allow for structures to be built to 8.5 metres. This structure is at least 10.5 metres high.

This structure is a warehouse and it is our interpretation of the conditions of use that there is also no provision for warehouses at all.
