ADVICE NOTES

AN1 It is unlawful to modify or destroy a pre-1900 (or post -1900 archaeological site declared under s43 of the HNZPT Act 2014) archaeological site without the prior authority of HNZPT issued under the HNZPT Act 2014. That authority will include a comprehensive set of conditions in respect of the management, monitoring, recording, investigation, analysis and reporting of archaeological evidence that may be

encountered. The HNZPTA 2014 also requires that approval is sought of persons nominated to undertake the activity under an authority. Requirements under the HNZPTA should be confirmed directly with Heritage New Zealand Regional Archaeologist (ArchaeologistMN@heritage.org.nz).

In the event of unanticipated archaeological sites or koiwi being uncovered the Requiring Authority shall cease activity in the vicinity until it has the relevant approvals, and consulted with Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga and relevant iwi interests.

AN2 The Requiring Authority will need to acquire the relevant property interests in land subject to the designation before it undertakes any works on that land pursuant to the designation. That may include a formal Public Works Act 1981 acquisition process. It is acknowledged that property rights issues are separate from resource management effects issues and that the resolution of property issues may be subject to confidentiality agreements between the Requiring Authority and the relevant landowners.

AN3 Prior to construction if Network Utility Operators are carrying out works that do not require prior written consent of the Requiring Authority in accordance with condition 6 of this designation, they must carry out those works in accordance with the Corridor Access Request (CAR) Process (as set out in Part 4 of the National Code of Practice for Utility Operators’ Access to Transport Corridors 2011) where that process applies to the works being carried out.

AN4 Subject to these conditions, under section 176 of the RMA no person may do anything in relation to the land subject to the designation that would prevent or hinder the Project without the written approval of the Requiring Authority.

AN5 Some of the land is subject to existing designations. Nothing in these designation conditions negates the need for the Requiring Authority to adhere to the provisions of section 177 of the RMA.

AN6 Tyler and Galway Streets and Construction Support Area B are located within the footprint of CRL Designation 1 and as such are subject to condition 47 of that designation. This condition requires the development of an Urban Design Delivery Work Plan to ensure that the areas within the designation footprint used during the construction of the CRL are restored.

AN7 Condition 11.4 of the Britomart Designation requires the Station Plaza Urban Design DWP to show how the plan will integrate with adjacent construction works and interrelated activities (e.g. City Rail Link).

Appendix 1 to the Designation– Heritage buildings for building condition surveys. Refer condition 31

Condition 31 of this designation requires as part of the CEMP process the confirmation of where and when building condition surveys will be undertaken in relation to Built Heritage (including those affected as a result of excavation).
