Newmarket Gully combined sewer overflow mitigation and
associated works
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 Watercare Services Limited is for a designation to
enable the construction, operation and maintenance of work to mitigate sewer
overflow effects in the Newmarket Gully. The work will include:
- construction, operation and maintenance
of a storage tank to store wastewater during wet weather, releasing the
wastewater back into the sewer when the wet-weather flows recede
- upgrading, use and maintenance of an existing access road
from Ayr Street to the proposed storage tank to enable construction and ongoing
maintenance of Watercare facilities
- placement of fill and planting of trees, shrubs and other
vegetation to integrate the works with the surrounding landform
- ongoing operation and maintenance of the facility once
constructed.
The proposed mitigation work and the land affected are
identified on the plans that accompany the notice of requirement.
Watercare Services Limited advises that this notice of
requirement is necessary in order to achieve Watercare's objectives, as the work
will provide for:
- a reduction in the volume and quantity of wastewater
overflows to Newmarket Stream
- a potential reduction in odour levels emanating from the
subject area
- an improvement in the function of the stream and
estuarine habitats
- the enhancement of a portion of the reserve through which
the work proceeds.
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 of the Civic Administration Building, 1 Greys
Avenue, central city
