Notice of Intention to Take Land Near Haruru Road, Kaukapakapa for Road Notice is hereby given that The Rodney District Council, under the provisions of the Public Works Act 1981, intends to take that part of the land described in the Schedule hereto marked ``A'' on S.O. Plan 68944 for road, to be used for the realignment of Haruru Road. The reasons why The Rodney District Council considers it is necessary to take the interest in the land are as follows: (a) to legalise the formed road which has been formed since at least 1927 and which has been used by the public and maintained by the council for many years; (b) the cost of forming the legal road to straighten Haruru Road is considerably higher than the cost of legalising the already formed road and therefore of economic benefit to the ratepayers. The taking is considered reasonably necessary for the safe and convenient use of the road. Any person having an interest or estate in the land may, within 20 working days after the date of this notice, send an objection to the Registrar, Environment Court, Fifth Floor, 49 Ballance Street (P.O. Box 5027), Lambton Quay, Wellington. If any objection is made in accordance with this notice, a public hearing will be held, unless the objector otherwise requires, and each objector will be informed of the time and place of the hearing. Schedule 72.1352 hectares, more or less, being part Allotment 183 of the Parish of Makarau and being more particularly shown on a plan deposited in the Land Registry Office at Auckland as No. 21233 and being all the land comprised and described in certificate of title 475/63 (North Auckland Registry). Dated this 28th day of August 1997. BRIAN DENYS SHARPLIN, General Manager of The Rodney District Council. (Simpson Grierson, Auckland/P. J. Merfield)
