         WELLINGTON CITY TRANSITIONAL DISTRICT PLAN

NOTIFICATION OF AN APPLICATION FOR RESOURCE CONSENT 
UNDER SECTION 93(2) OF THE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ACT 1991

The Wellington City Council has received an application for 
resource consent from:

Name of applicant:  Wellington Rugby Football Union 
Incorporated

Subject site:  The land that is currently occupied by 
Athletic Park, including the properties at 397,399,401,417 
and 421 Adelaide Road.

Description of Application:  The overall purpose of the 
proposal is to facilitate a comprehensive redevelopment of 
facilities at Athletic Park.  

A major redevelopment is proposed for the west stand (the 
Millard Stand on the Adelaide Road side).  The top 17 rows of 
seats are to be removed and a roof will be erected over the 
remaining seats.  A building is proposed to be constructed 
along the back of the stand to provide changing facilities, 
public toilets, concessions, corporate boxes, five function 
spaces, kitchen facilities, and offices for the Wellington 
Rugby Football Union.  

The main stand (Rintoul street side) is to be refurbished 
including new public toilets and concessions.  The north-west 
and south-west stands are to be roofed over and new public 
toilets provided.  

Off street parking for an additional 219 cars is to be 
provided on the western side of the grounds, between Adelaide 
Road and the west stand, including a bus drop-off lane.

Flood lighting of the playing field to 1600 lux is proposed, 
to enable night games to be played.  The light fittings will 
be located along the fascia of the new cantilevered roof to 
the west stand (approx. height above ground 28.5m) and on 
eight towers rising above the main stand, also to a height of 
28.5m.

In terms of the Wellington Transitional District Plan (the 
"District Plan"), the land is identified for private 
recreation purposes of benefit to the community.  The 
underlying zoning is Residential C2 (high density/medium 
rise).  Any use or development of that land which is 
consistent with the identified purpose is therefore permitted 
as of right, provided that it complies with the requirements 
for conditional uses (now known as discretionary activities) 
provided for by the underlying zoning of the land.  Any use 
or development which is not consistent with the identified 
purpose must comply with the underlying zoning.
                             -2-


The principal aspects of the proposed redevelopment requiring 
a resource consent are as follows:

*   The roof that is proposed to be erected over the west 
    stand exceeds the 10 metre maximum height limit of the 
    Residential C2 zone.  The roof also encroaches through 
    the height control plane measured from the southern 
    boundary.

*   The lighting poles to be erected along the roof of the 
    main stand also exceed the 10 metre maximum height limit.

*   The proposed use of the new rooms under the western stand 
    for non-match day functions goes beyond the "private 
    recreation" identification.  This type of use is called 
    a "place of assembly" in terms of the District Plan and 
    is a discretionary activity within the Residential C2 
    zone.

*   The 219 carparks that will be available to serve the 
    2,820m2 of function space (plus the match day bus area 
    which would provide an additional 45 spaces) do not meet 
    the District Plan requirement that on-site parking be 
    provided for places of assembly at a rate of 1 space for 
    every 6m2 of gross floor area. 		 

[Note: The resource consent application that is the subject 
of this public notice only relates to those matters 
identified above as requiring a resource consent, i.e. the 
proposals to redevelop and add to facilities already present 
at Athletic Park.  The application does not relate to the 
continued use of Athletic Park for "private recreation" which 
is permitted as of right as an "identified use".]
