Proposed plan modification 233 - Westfield to Southdown gas pipeline

Notice of requirement for a new gas transmission pipeline and ancillary facilities: Vector Gas Limited

Auckland City Council gives notice of a requirement for a designation for public works under Section 168 of the Resource Management Act 1991.

The requirement from Vector Gas Limited is for a designation to construct and operate a new high-pressure gas transmission pipeline between Vector's existing Westfield delivery point at Mount Wellington Highway, Westfield and its existing southdown delivery point at Hugo Johnson Drive in Penrose (a length of approximately 1.6 km). Existing facilities at both the Westfield and Southdown delivery points will also be modified to accommodate the new pipeline, including the relocation of pipe cleaning, filtering and metering equipment.

The proposed pipeline route and land affected is identified on the plans that accompany the notice of requirement.

Vector Gas Limited advises that this notice of requirement is necessary to enable the land to be used for the construction, operation, maintenance, repair, upgrading and renewal of the gas transmission pipeline and delivery point facilities. The new pipeline is
necessary to:

  • ensure continuity and security of natural gas supply
  • provide for future demand for natural gas.

A full description of the work is set out in the assessment of environmental effects (AEE) available at the places listed below.

Places to view notice of requirement

The notice of requirement, plans showing the precise extent of the requirement, AEE and other background information may be inspected free of charge online or during business hours at:

  • level 11, Civic Administration Building, 1 Greys Avenue, central city
