WESTERN SPRINGS STADIUM NOISE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR SPEEDWAY FOR 2010-2011
| Chris Dee |
|
| Manager, Environmental Health and Licensing |
27 August 2010 |
Speedway at Western Springs stadium operates under an Enforcement Order by
Consent, issued by the Environment court in November 2005. The consent allows
for a fixed number of meetings in certain months each season, along with
practice sessions and some track preparation work. Other matters addressed in
the Consent include a ban on the use of the PA system during racing, provision
for a draft event programme to be issued by the end of June each year, and
provision for rain-outs. Most importantly, it sets the noise limits to apply to
each event. Where the Consent is silent, the provisions in the Concept Plan
C05-08 apply as the default.
Auckland City Environments role is to enforce the conditions agreed in the
Enforcement Order, and otherwise the District Plan. Auckland City Environments
also reviews a Noise Management Plan, which the Concept Plan requires the
Speedway promoter to prepare each year.
The
Noise Management Plan for the 2010-11 season is attached, and in accordance with
the requirements of the Concept Plan is tabled for consultation with affected
residents via the Western Bays Community Board. The 2010-11 Noise Management
Plan makes no changes to the plans adopted in previous seasons. Auckland City
Environments, in its role as enforcer, is satisfied with the conditions of this
Plan.
