and protection of natural and physical resources in a way, or at a rate, which enables<br />
people and communities to provide for their social, economic and cultural wellbeing<br />
and for their health and safety while… avoiding, remedying, or mitigating any adverse<br />
effects of activities on the environment.”<br />
9.3 In determining the proposal against section 5 of the Act, I adopt the applicant’s<br />
assessment in section 3.4 of the application (pages 19-20).<br />
9.4 As discussed in section 7 of this report, it is considered the proposal has positive<br />
effects.<br />
9.5 Given the above factors, the proposal is considered that the proposal is consistent with<br />
section 5 of the Resource Management Act 1991.<br />
9.6 Section 6 of the Act lists matters of national importance. I adopt the applicant’s<br />
assessment in section 3.4 on page 20 of the application. I add to this assessment that<br />
the proposal has been reviewed by <strong>Council</strong>’s Consultant Heritage Conservator Ian<br />
Bowman who supports the proposal.<br />
9.7 Section 7 of the Act lists a number of other matters that <strong>Council</strong> shall have particular<br />
regard to when considering such an application. Under section 7 the following matters<br />
are considered applicable:<br />
(b) The efficient use and development of natural and physical resources:<br />
(c) The maintenance and enhancement of amenity values:<br />
(f)<br />
Maintenance and enhancement of the quality of the environment:<br />
It is considered that the proposal is not contrary to section 7 of the Act for the reasons<br />
discussed in the assessment of effects and discussed on page 20 of the application.<br />
9.8 It is considered section 8 of the Act requires that the <strong>Council</strong>, in achieving the purpose<br />
of the Act, in managing the use, development and protection of the natural and<br />
physical environment, shall take into account the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi. It<br />
is considered the proposal is not contrary to section 8 of the Act. It is noted the subject<br />
site is not adjacent to any land subject to the Port Nicholson Block Settlement Act<br />
2009 that would warrant notification of the application to the Port Nicholson Settlement<br />
Trust. However, the proposal was reviewed by the Wellington Tenths Trust who did<br />
not present any concerns with the development.<br />
9.9 Overall I consider the proposed mixed use development at 350-352 Jackson Street<br />
and 43 Tory Street will be consistent with Part II of the Resource Management Act<br />
1991.
