Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency has completed the work necessary for a designation of land to be put in place for a future transport corridor between Warkworth and Wellsford.

Auckland Council formally accepted the Notice of Requirement and resource consents application for the Warkworth to Wellsford project today, officially starting a consenting process that is expected to take 12-24 months to complete.

The application and supporting documents are now available on the Waka Kotahi website and will remain on our Warkworth to Wellsford webpage  until Auckland Council publicly notifies the application, in approximately 1-3 months’ time.

The Notice of Requirement and resource consents application are an essential part of the planning process for new transport corridors. Waka Kotahi sets out the land required for the transport corridor and how it will meet statutory requirements related to construction, operation and maintenance of the road. Waka Kotahi is required to gain authorisations from those with regulatory responsibilities for the natural and built environments, culture and heritage and the conservation estate.

Unfortunately, due to the current COVID-19 lockdown, we are unable to have copies of the application available at the Warkworth and Wellsford libraries. We will ensure copies are available as soon as the libraries reopen.

And, while we are unable to meet you directly, we are looking at ways to stay better connected online, so we can ensure a timely response to any queries or concerns you may have. While we work on our web based technology, we encourage you to remain in touch with us via email to warkworth-wellsford@nzta.govt.nz or phone 0508 927 2935.
