Proposed Unitary Plan Change 3: Viewshaft submissions close 7th September
Please ask Auckland Council to Protect Stockade Hill views as nothing is certain yet.
Proposed plan change 3 is a plan change that seeks to protect views of Rangitoto, Hauraki Gulf and the Islands from a public open space - Stockade Hill, Howick. The plan change proposes to delete an existing local public viewshaft that originates from the base of Stockade Hill and introduce a new viewshaft and a building height restriction area into the Local Public Views Overlay that originates from the top of Stockade Hill.

To help: you may wish to consider a submission along the following line :
Scope of Submission:
Insert: Plan provision D 16 D 16.6 and B4.3 and Map 11.1
(These are clauses/references in the 3rd document “attachments A1, A2.1 and A2.2 Proposed Plan Change )
Submission
Check Support the specific provisions identified above
Check Yes to I/We wish to have the provisions identified above amended
As a reason: suggest wording along the lines of “I want to keep 360 degree views from the top of Stockade Hill for all to enjoy.”
Check either the 2nd or 4th option ( as in our view it is confusing and they seem to mean the same)
Accept the plan change/variation with amendments as outlined below
If the plan change/variation is not declined, then amend it as outlined below
Make the points you would like amended such as:
1) Widen the angle of the proposed viewshaft to the west (anticlockwise) by 50 degrees and by 15 degrees (clockwise) to the east.
2) Reassess the height of 1.7 metres from which the view is calculated at the Rotary toposcope as this prevents 50% people seeing the view without interruption
3) Recognize the view as an Outstanding Natural Landscape and Outstanding Natural Feature
4) Protect the 360 degree views
Check “no” you are not in trade and “no” to the follow on question (only if that is correct)
Check the final box and if you happy with your submission check submit.
Thank you
