Eden Park resource consent

Introduction | The resource consent application | The plan change


Introduction

Auckland City Council has granted consent for the Eden Park Trust Board to redevelop its stadium in Sandringham.

The redevelopment aims to increase the capacity of the current stadium from 45,000 to 60,000 people. The increased number of seats is a condition of New Zealand's bid to host the Rugby World Cup in 2011.

Three independent planning commissioners considered the board's resource consent application, along with more than 500 submissions and evidence from subject matter experts before deciding to grant the consent.

There are more than 90 conditions attached to the consent, including:

  • construction management, including restrictions on hours, access, noise and lighting
  • requirement for landscaping, including streetscape planting in adjoining roads
  • provision of increased access to open space within the site
  • restrictions on the number and type of night time sporting events
  • shading mitigation measures, including specific mitigation packages for affected properties
  • noise restrictions for events and during construction
  • requirements for traffic management, including pedestrian access to Kingsland Rail Station
