Earthworks at former depot on Curtis Street
In late 2015, WCC passed a district plan change to create the Curtis Street Business Area at 55-85 Curtis St, allowing the site to be developed for commercial and retail activities.
Prime Property (the site owner) are now doing earthworks to create the building platform for future buildings. The earthworks must be carried out in accordance with the consent granted to Prime Property by WCC, and WCC must monitor compliance with the consent conditions, which include:
• Hours of work: Monday-Saturday 7:30 am - 6 pm
• Limit of 6 “bulk haul trucks” per hour, 9:30 am -2:30 pm
• No work or truck movements on Sundays or public holidays
• Afterhours contact details to be displayed on a noticeboard at the site entrance
• Dust and sediment controls must be put in place
• Plans and controls are also required for noise, traffic and public safety
• Duration of works – up to 50 weeks
A copy of the full consent is on our website (www.cvra.org.nz) along with a summary of the conditions.
CVRA are meeting with the Council next week to discuss the monitoring programme, and confirm communication channels if neighbours and residents have concerns or are affected by the works.
It is likely that more regular updates will be posted on the Creswick Valley Residents Association Facebook page - so follow our page if you are interested.

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
