Hearing of Submitters

Submission Focus

Submissions are totalled by their scope: whether they have a general focus on the entire requirement and applications; focus on specific aspects or districts, or did not state whether they focussed on any specific or general aspect.

Submitter Geographic Location

All submissions were sorted for location of submitter based on the address for service information. This was matched against known locations from the notification database to give a general set of data for geographical location purposes.

City and District Council districts were used to yield broad submitter locations (referred to as zones in tables 1 to 7).

Note:
There were 305 submissions that could not be assigned to one of the specific districts listed above.  These submissions had an address for service that was either a postal facility was not in these districts, or the submitter used a representative to submit on their behalf.

Overview of Submissions

Tables 1 to 7 provide a general collation of submissions, under topic headings and include a summary of reasons and summary of the decision sought by each submitter.

The topic headings used are based on common matters raised in submissions on Transpower’s Upper North Island Grid Upgrade proposal.

Table 1: National/Regional matters

Table 2: Cultural section

Table 3: RMA/Planning section

Table 4: Alternate generation section

Table 5: Underground section

Table 6: Overhead section

Table 7: General/No classification

Note that some submitters lodged more than one submission and in some cases their names will appear in two or more groups. Some submitters lodged submissions in support of certain matters, in opposition to others, and were neutral on others again.  In these cases, submission ns may appear in more than one sections of this report.
