Overview

The Notice of Requirement - Alteration to Ruakiwi Road Reservoirs Designation is the planning process to extend the designation boundary to enable the construction, operation and maintenance of the new water infrastructure. The project includes two new 25 million litre reservoirs, a valve chamber, pipelines and supporting infrastructure, to provide water to the central city and surrounds.

The site is in the northeastern part of Hamilton Lake Domain Reserve, above Lake Domain Drive, including 18A and 24 Ruakiwi Road, and 68 Pembroke Street.

What happens next?

Once the further submissions period closes, a report will be prepared on the requirement. A hearing date will then be set and notified to all submitters who wish to be heard. Hearings are open to the public and will be conducted by a panel of accredited commissioners.

If you've indicated you want to speak at the hearing, you'll have the opportunity to present your submission and answer any questions from the panel. After the hearing, the commissioners will make a decision which will be publicly notified, and all submitters will be informed directly.
