Decision reserved on Piha café proposal
Three days of a hearing into a
proposed café at Piha, have concluded with the
commissioners reserving their decision.
It is expected
that the decision will be released in the New Year.
A
public hearing was held to examine a proposal by Preserve
Piha Ltd to develop the café at 20 Seaview Road on a
residential zoned site currently occupied by the old
telephone exchange and the post office.
The Post Office
building would be removed and the telephone exchange
converted to a café with 10 onsite carparking spaces
provided.
Resource Consents are required from both
Waitakere City Council and the Auckland Regional Council for
the proposal to go ahead. The councils decided to hold a
joint hearing to consider the applications.
The commissioners were Messrs Ken Graham (chair) and Ian Gunn for the ARC and Cr Derek Battersby and Cr Vanessa Neeson for Waitakere City Council.
The proposal attracted 199 submissions from the public, both in support and opposition.
