Consent approved for Barmy Army HQ
Independent planning commissioners have approved resource consent for a temporary Barmy Army headquarters during the DHL NZ Lions Series.
The applicant, Elite Events Ltd, will host the event at the Viaduct Harbour Marine Village, 99 - 115 Halsey Street for 20 days, starting from Saturday 25 June.
Some of the conditions placed on
the consent specify that:
- the hours of operation will
be limited to:
10am to 3am the following morning on 25
June and 2, 8 and 9 July 2005
10am to 10pm on Sunday 10
July
10am to 1am the following morning on all other
days
- measures are in place to enable Halsey Street
(between Gaunt and Madden Streets) to become a “local
traffic only” area each night for vehicles and
pedestrians
- all external areas including marquees will
be vacated by 11.00pm on all nights
- a comprehensive
noise management plan is implemented, monitored and
enforced
- security guards will be used to control
pedestrians around the apartments and public areas
surrounding Viaduct Harbour.
To ensure a robust process, Auckland City outsourced its regulatory role to independent commissioners because it controls the leases for 99 and 115 Halsey Street (formerly the Team New Zealand and Alinghi Americas Cup bases) where the event is to take place.
