Public notice is hereby given in accordance with clause 7 of the First Schedule of the Resource Management Act 1991 (The Act) that the Wanganui District Council has prepared a summary of submissions made to:

Proposed Plan Change 18: Vehicle Crossings

Proposed Plan Change 18 seeks to remove the existing vehicle crossing rules that solely relate to traffic safety, and to address the visual amenity effects on streetscapes that are caused by multiple vehicle crossings to access sites. By creating a maximum number of crossings per site, the plan intends to allow access to sites while providing a safe and attractive environment for pedestrians, motorists and owners and occupiers of sites adjoining the road reserve.

Copies of all the submissions received and a summary of the decisions requested by submitters to the proposed Plan Change are available for public inspection Monday to Friday, 8.00am to 5.00pm, at the Customer Service Desk, Wanganui District Council, 101 Guyton Street, and at the District Library, Queens Park, Wanganui.

Wanganui District Council now invites further written submissions in support of, or in opposition to, those submissions already made.

The following persons may make a further submission, in the prescribed form:

(a) any person representing a relevant aspect of the public interest; and
(b) any person that has an interest in the proposed policy statement or plan greater than the interest that the general public has; and
(c) the local authority itself.

Further submissions may only be in support of, or in opposition to, submissions already made to proposed Plan Change 18. Further submissions must be in writing, and be in the prescribed form, which is available from the Wanganui District Council, and addressed to:

Wanganui District Council
PO Box 637
Wanganui

Or faxed to (06) 349 0523

Further submissions in support of, or opposition to, those submissions already made close at 4.00pm on Friday, 9 July 2010.

Please note:
You must send a copy of your further submission to the person or organisation whose submission you are supporting or opposing, within five working days of sending your submission to the Wanganui District Council.

Following the close of further submissions, if required, the Wanganui District Council will then hold a Hearing of the submissions. All persons who make a submission or further submission and who requested to be heard will be advised of the date, time and place of the Hearing. The Council will then make decisions on the submissions and further submissions. Any submitter or further submitter may refer the decision on their submission to the Environment Court.

If you have any queries or require further information please contact Nicole Johnson, Policy and Resource Management Planner, Wanganui District Council, phone (06) 349 0001 ext. 8007.
