Resolution number OR/2020/134
MOVED by Member T Churton, seconded by Member T Elliott:
That the Ōrākei Local Board:
a) support in principle public notification as an initial step to provide an
opportunity for the community and residents to provide their views, under
section 15(2) of the Reserves Act 1977 of a possible exchange of part of the
presently privately-owned land Lot 100 DP 529532, containing approximately
2,970m², corner College Road and Ngahue Drive, and at 25 Barbarich Drive,
Stonefields, with the privately-owned land Lot 901 DP 478725, containing
approximately 19,425m2, at 50 Tihi Street, Stonefields, noting:
i) Lot 100 is not presently Council-owned reserve land, but under an existing

under section 239 of the Resource Management Act 1991 as an
Minutes Page 9Ōrākei Local Board
19 November 2020
unclassified recreation reserve upon deposit of a subdivision of this land
with Land Information New Zealand.
ii) that part of the subdivided land will remain with the owner which will
develop the land currently zoned Residential - Terrace Housing and
Apartment Buildings under the Unitary Plan and the balance of the land in
Barbarich Drive will be held by the Auckland Council as a non-service
asset until decisions are made regarding its future use, noting that it was
proposed to be developed as open space under the Stonefields Master
Plan.
iii) Council staff have assessed this exchange to be a high priority against the
Parks and Open Space Acquisition Policy (2013).
iv) the Board has received advice that 2,970m² of Lot 100 is not needed to
meet the provision targets in the Open Space Provision Policy (2016) and
is not a priority for retention.
v) if the land exchange were to proceed, the site at 50 Tihi Street, Stonefields
could be administered by the Tūpuna Maunga o Tāmaki Makaurau
Authority in accordance with the Ngā Mana Whenua o Tāmaki Makaurau
Collective Redress Act 2014.
vi) that decision-making on this possible land exchange rests with the
Auckland Council's Governing Body.
b) express its strong desire that the informal walking path from Gollan Road to
Tihi Street, which is needed to be maintained for students to travel safely to
Stonefields School and as an extension to the Stonefields Heritage Trail, be
formalised through the possible exchange either by transfer from the developer
to the Council or other legal mechanism.
