Neil Construction Limited
Project summary
The project is located on two separate sites in Whenuapai, Auckland. On the Brigham Creek Rd site, the project is to construct two industrial buildings and associated site development including yard, access, parking and manoeuvring areas. On the Trig Rd site, the project is to subdivide land to create three lots for industrial development and includes the construction of supporting infrastructure, including a road intended to vest with Auckland Council, and three-waters services. The project will include upgrade works such as road widening, bus stops and a cycleway and footpath within the Trig Road reserve. The applicant intends to apply for land use consent for light industrial activities on the three lots (as part of the project), however construction will be undertaken by third parties. The works at 151 Brigham Creek Road are limited to the formation of vehicle access.
Location
151 and 155-157 Brigham Creek Road (Brigham Creek Rd site) and 71 and 73 Trig Road (Trig Rd site).
The Minister for the Environment declined the referral application under sections 23(1) and 23(2) of the FTCA. The project does not meet the referral criteria in section 18(2) of the FTCA as it may not help to achieve the purpose of the FTCA to urgently promote employment and support the certainty of ongoing investment, and the Minister considers it is more appropriate for the project to go through standard consenting processes under the Resource Management Act 1991 (section 23(5)(b) of the FTCA).
