We, Blueskin Baywatch Ltd Incorporated Society, wish to be a party to the following proceedings:

• Appeal - Blueskin Bay Forest Heights Ltd v Dunedin City Council – LUC-2007-543(Dated 21 April 2009)

We are a body representing a relevant aspect of the public interest

• Blueskin
  Baywatch Society is committed to maintaining or improving the current character of the Blueskin Bay and Dunedin North Coast area and community in a sustainable manner.

  • The Objects of the Society are to:

    1. Advocate for sustainable development which retains the intrinsic character of the Area, Community and Environs:

    2. Promote the values of ownership, tolerance and inclusiveness within the community.

    3. Advocate towards protecting and enhancing the natural flora & fauna of the area.

    4. Act as an identity and a conduit for communication with the local political bodies and governing authorities.

    5. Act as an identity and a conduit for liaison with potential developers in the area.

    6. Act as a legal entity, able if necessary, to present cases to bodies such as local political bodies, governing authorities, the Environment Court, High Court or Court of Appeal.

    7. Carry out actions to further the principles and other objectives of the Society.

• We as a body have also made a submission in the previous proceedings on the same matter.

We are interested in all the proceedings.

We are interested in the following particular issues:

• Proposed increase in density of residency in a rural zone, and the apparent and real concentration of residences along a relatively narrow strip of rural land

• Increased traffic effects upon local residents

• Visibility of the residencies, both during the day and at night, as present upon an intermediate ridge line (visible from much of the bay as a primary ridge line)

• Potential land-management issues associated with multiply divided land being owned and administered by many different parties.

We oppose the relief sought because –

• We believe that the dispensation sought for additional properties within the consent will have a ‘more than minor’ effect.

We agree to participate in mediation or other alternative dispute resolution of the proceedings.
