Resource Management Act 1991
Notification of Application for a Resource Consent under Section 95A(3) (a)
Name of applicant: Willowbank Trustee Limited
Council reference: RC8436 – LU0125/21
The applicant proposes: Continued long-term operation of the Willowbank Quarry and expansion of the existing quarry footprint.
This will involve the following broad activities:
Fulton Hogan, as quarry operator, is proposing that the quarry will normally operate from Monday to Friday, between the hours of 6am and 6pm, and on Saturday, between the hours of 6am and 3pm.
The application notes that from time-to-time Fulton Hogan may be required to operate the quarry between 6pm to 10pm to cater for the needs of local projects, which is why hours of operation of 6am to 10pm are being requested. Any blasting activity will only occur between 9am and 6pm.
Resource Consent is required for the proposal as it is not provided for as a Permitted Activity in the Rural Zone in the Porirua City District Plan (the District Plan). The proposal is considered to be a Discretionary Activity pursuant to Rule D4.1.4 of the District Plan.
The application may be inspected at the Porirua City Council, Administration Building, Customer Service Centre (ground floor), Cobham Court, Porirua, between the hours of 9.00am and 5.00pm.
The Applicant has lodged a separate Resource Consent with the Greater Wellington Regional Council, which is also publicly notified. Further details and information relating to this application can be found on the Wellington Regional Council website: haveyoursay.gw.govt.nz/willowbank-quarry
