(Where this designation covers the same land as Designation 211 (Operative District Plan) and 401 (Proposed District Plan 2000) it is noted that Designation 211/ 401 is the earlier designation in terms of section 177 of the Resource Management Act 1991.)

1.2 The designation and proposed works on the area of land subject to the designation shall not include any toll-booth type facilities or structures.except that electronic toll gantry structures and associated infrastructure shall be permitted within the designation.

1.3 Before any construction is commenced an Outline Plan shall be submitted in terms of section 176A of the Resource Management Act 1991 to council. The outline plan may be submitted in stages to reflect any proposed staging of the physical works. This outline plan is to be submitted to council for assessment and recommendations to the council. The outline plan shall show those matters required to be included by section 176A(3) of the Act. It shall be prepared in consultation with directly affected property owners and occupiers with the record of such consultation being documented in the outline plan.

1.4 Prior to the start of physical works, the requiring authority (or its agent) shall obtain all resource consents required under the Resource Management Act 1991 and the Historic Places Act 1993.

2. Design Considerations
2.1 The requiring authority (or its agents) shall incorporate retaining walls into the detailed design to reduce the property effects at critical parts of the alignment, in general accordance with the details identified in Appendix C of the requiring authority’s closing submissions.

2.2 As part of the upgrading works the requiring authority (or its agents) shall, subject to the proper performance of its statutory functions, provide suitable pedestrian crossing facilities at the following general localities along Whangaparaoa Road:
a. Brightside Road;

The Traffic Mitigation Plan shall address methods of mitigating the local and network wide effects of both the construction of individual elements of the project and the use of staging. The plan shall specify among other matters:
i. How, where practicable, one lane of traffic in each direction shall be open at peak times;
ii. Measures to be adopted to ensure that pedestrian access past the site is safe and, as practical as is possible, and is not obstructed during the construction works; and
iii. Measures to be adopted to ensure access is maintained to all properties fronting the realigned road including the existing shops on the north western corner and the Church on the south western corner.

Advice Notes
1. Consider the appropriateness of the service chamber lids at pram crossings with regards to pedestrian safety.

2. Investigate if curve advisory warning signs are warranted for the curve outside 78 Chartwell Avenue, south of the intersection on Chartwell Avenue with the proposed realignment. Similarly check the curve warning requirements for Diana Drive approach to the intersection.

3. That the proposed footpath be widened and set back with approximately 600-1000mm separation (grass verge) from the kerb where possible. It is recommended that the footpath be widened to 2.0-2.5m and gradually tie in with the existing footpath.

4. That directional arrow pavement markings are clearly marked out to warn motorists that the vehicle crossing on Chartwell Avenue associated with the church is an exit only access.

5. Consider the need for cycle facilities at the intersection as discussed under Section 4.5.

6. Consult with the appropriate Council department on the proposal and the timeline for the proposed cycleway or similar facilities on Chivalry Road or in the vicinity of the intersection.

7. That the lighting illumination levels are checked to ensure that they are in accordance with Auckland Council lighting requirements and standards for the intersection.

8. That the appropriate Council departments are consulted if any of the works can be coordinated and carried out simultaneously with this project as discussed in Section 4.7.

9. The details of the final design of the stormwater infrastructure will require liaison with the Council stormwater asset engineer and the retention of the straight alignment or the replacement of the lead with a 300 line may be required.

10. Consideration should be given to setting the new footpaths back from the kerb line to assist with the safety of pedestrians, especially school children. This would also simplify the ramp issues at the new pram crossings.

This provision shall apply to all residential properties adjacent to the designation notwithstanding that property acquisition may have preceded this condition, but shall not apply where the residence has been required as a condition of resource consent to be designed to provide equivalent acoustic mitigation.

11. Where it is reasonably practicable, the mitigation plan, including the erection of the final fences and the installation of other measures, shall be implemented prior to the start of road construction activities to afford the residents the maximum possible protection from those activities.

12. Council shall conduct yearly monitoring surveys for a period of five years from the date of completion of the works to determine whether the design noise standards are being met for the adjacent properties. Council shall continue liaison with the residents over that period and address any deficiencies that may be established.

Construction Noise
13. Noise generated by the construction works associated with the Anzac Street Corridor upgrade shall, where practicable, comply with New Zealand Standard NZS 6803P:1984 "The Measurement and Assessment of Noise from Construction, Maintenance and Demolition Work':

14. A Construction Noise Management Plan shall be prepared to the Council's satisfaction by a suitably qualified acoustic consultant prior to the commencement of any construction works. The Plan shall take into account the pre-construction noise mitigation measures to be installed and detail the construction methodologies that will be employed to comply with NZS 6803P:1984 or, if this cannot be achieved, those methodologies that have been agreed with affected parties and property occupiers to minimise adverse effects.

15. Full consideration shall be given to the use of road construction materials that minimise the need for heavy compaction and associated vibration, that can be laid and finished in the shortest practicable time, and that shall have a long effective life and be able to be rehabilitated as necessary in the shortest possible time.

Landscaping and Streetscape 
16. The Requiring Authority shall submit a comprehensive Landscape Plan ("The Plan"), based on the Landscape Proposal Plan (Drawing Nos 2097/L3 and 2097/L4) as part of the Outline Plan, to the satisfaction of the Auckland Council after referral to the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board.

17. The Plan shall show how measures have been taken to retain as many of the existing trees as practically possible, and in particular the Totara tree adjacent to 88 Anzac Street.

18. The detailed design of the Landscape Plan is to be reasonably consistent in its approach to provide a comprehensive urban design framework through treatment of boundaries and streetscape amenity. Mitigation measures for individual properties should be undertaken in collaboration with property owners and in accordance with the Council's Design of Streets Project,  which aims to provide a comprehensive design framework for street projects in North Shore City.

19. The Plan shall include all proposed planting (including species, species sizes, densities, areas and locations), the planting programme and the maintenance programme.

20. The selected trees to be planted shall be of a type and form that will not adversely impact on the operations of buses in the kerbside lanes and the efficiency and safety of the corridor. Mature trees should provide a clear 3.5 m minimum height and preferably the minimum legal height for vehicles (4.25 m) from road level at the face of the kerb.

21. The Requiring authority shall retain an experienced arborist to prepare and monitor a mitigation plan to ensure that all remaining trees are adequately protected and do not suffer damage through the construction phase.

22. The landscape maintenance programme shall be undertaken for a minimum of five years following implementation. It shall include performance standards specifying the minimum average growth rates and survival rates for planting, and shall include any practicable and reasonable maintenance measures.

23. Bus stop and bus shelter locations shall be determined following community consultation and shall comply with the requirements of the Unitary Plan.

Social Impact
24. The Requiring Authority shall at all times during construction and immediately thereafter ensure that all affected residents are able to contact a delegated officer whose duty will be to liaise with all parties over concerns arising out of the construction and completion of the proposed works.

Construction Management
25. The Requiring Authority shall prepare a Construction Management Plan as part of the Outline Plan, based on the conditions included in the decision, for approval to the satisfaction of the council.

26. The Requiring Authority shall ensure that the Construction Management Plan provisions are included in all construction contracts and are complied with at all times during construction.

27. The Requiring Authority and its contractors shall, in addition to complying with all other construction related conditions, take all reasonable steps to prevent or mitigate any nuisance or damage to adjacent properties during construction.

Traffic Management
28. The Requiring Authority shall undertake regular monitoring of traffic conditions at the various road segments and intersections pertaining to works under this designation in order to address adverse traffic effects that may arise. Particular attention shall be given to both safety and efficiency (capacity) issues and cover the changes that may be indirectly impacted by the implementation of the designated works. In particular, the Council shall give due regard to and mitigate problems in Killarney Street, at the intersections on Taharoto Road to which some vehicles may divert (eg Ngaio Street and Rangitira Ave), the intersection of Anzac Street with Barrys Point Road and Pupuke Road and particularly to Pupuke Road South, to property access and the probable introduction of priority lanes on Fred Thomas Drive.

Advice Note:
The Requiring Authority may need to consider travel demand measures or the introduction of dynamic lane management in a relatively short time after initial commissioning. It is likely that traffic management will be required over broad corridors both north/south and east/west.

Public Utilities Conditions
29. The Requiring Authority shall, during the preparation of the outline plan(s), take into account the location of existing and future infrastructure and utility services, and undertake consultation with the appropriate council departments and Network Utility Operators as necessary.

30. The Requiring Authority shall adopt best practice techniques for construction to ensure that all Network Utility Operators and council's infrastructure is protected and that public safety is ensured.

31. The Requiring Authority shall advise all Network Utility Operators at least 10 working days prior to the commencement of any work affecting Network Utility Operators and council's infrastructure.
