DECLARATIONS OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST

Elected Representatives are reminded of their obligation to maintain a clear separation between their personal interests and their duties as an elected member of the Council.

Elected representatives should therefore be vigilant to stand aside from decision making when a conflict (or a perceived conflict) arises between their role as an elected representative and any private or other external (either pecuniary or non-pecuniary) interest they may have.

Any interests should be declared at the commencement of consideration of any item on this agenda and the member concerned abstain from voting or discussion on the item, or leave the room for the duration of its consideration.

  7. Top 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.
