    Grant Ockleston  
    Water & Landfill Operations Manager 22 September 2008

    Following consideration of this matter at its September 2008 meeting, the Specialist Hearings sub-committee resolved to defer the item until this meeting pending the provision of additional information from Council regarding the feasibility and practicality of an alternative route for the public stormwater pipeline proposed beneath 61-73 Davis Crescent, Newmartket.

    Attaching a further options report which outlines that Option A (referred to in the previous report to the sub-committee as Option B) remains council's preferred route for the pipeline on the basis that this option represents the shortest construction timeframe, lowest cost, least disruption and lowest risk of all options considered.

    Also attaching the original objection letter from Masfen Holdings, together with a letter of support for the proposal from the General Manager, Newmarket Business Association [Appendices C & D].

    Recommending that the sub-committee determines whether to abandon the works proposed, or to proceed therewith with or without such alteration as it thinks fit.
