Business As Usual At Northcote’s Fox Outlet Centre

BUSINESS AS USUAL
AT NORTHCOTE’S FOX
OUTLET CENTRE
A spokesperson for Discount Brands
Outlet Centres Ltd, the company which owns the Fox Outlet
Centre located on Akoranga Drive in Northcote, says a
Supreme Court ruling that North Shore City Council did not
follow correct procedures in giving the project a
non-notified resource consent in 2003 has no practical
effect on the flourishing new retail centre, which opened
late last year. The decision dealt with Council procedural
issues, and not the merits of the outlet centre.
The spokesperson also said Discount Brands has already obtained an additional and approved resource consent from North Shore City Council, granted by Independent Commissioners appointed by the Council. In practice, the Supreme Court ruling on the previous consent is academic and has no impact on the centre.
Fox Outlet Centre Manager, Fleur Pearce said customer traffic continues to increase at the Centre, which is trading well, and new tenants are progressively taking up the remaining space.
