Notice of Intention to Take Land for the Functioning Indirectly of a Road—(Christchurch Southern Motorway Stage 2), Christchurch

Notice is hereby given that the Minister for Land Information proposes to take, under the Public Works Act 1981, the land described in the Schedule to this notice (“land”).

The land is required for the construction of the Christchurch Southern Motorway Stage 2. The land is required for the functioning indirectly of a road.

The Southern Motorway will provide a four-lane divided carriageway between Halswell Junction Road and Rolleston. The motorway provides a connection between the end of the existing motorway at Halswell Junction Road and the new interchange at Shands Road.

Shands Road has been identified as the best location for a grade separated interchange since it is approximately midway between Halswell Junction on/off ramps and the Main South Road ramps, and Shands Road itself is a major road in that area.

In order to maintain efficient existing and future traffic flows on Shands Road through the CSM2 interchange, five traffic lanes need to be provided through the interchange, as well as a 2.5m shared use footpath. The roadway consists of two lanes in each direction and a central turning lane.

The owner of the land and those persons with a registered interest in it have been served with notice of the Minister for Land Information’s intention to take the land and advised of their right to object.

Any other person having the right to object may send a written objection to the Registrar, Environment Court, Level 1, District Court Building, 282 Durham Street, Christchurch 8013, or by post to PO Box 2069, Christchurch 8140, or DX WX11113, Christchurch, within 20 working days after the date of publication of this notice.

If any objection is made in accordance with this notice, a public hearing will be held with the right of the objector to appear and be heard personally, unless the objector otherwise requires, and each objector will be informed of the time and place of the hearing.

Any person requiring further information in respect of this advice should contact Louise Mincher, Opus International Consultants Limited, Opus House, 20 Moorhouse Avenue, Christchurch. Postal Address: PO Box 1482, Christchurch 8140. Telephone: (03) 363 2743.
