Plan Change 64 Matakana Village

The specific provision of the plan change/modification that my submission relates to:
Any reference to disposal of sewage

We: Oppose

The reason for our views is:
We do not want disposal of sewage from Matakana into our fragile harbour catchment (Whangateau) as there is no adequate research showing this is environmentally safe especially if Matakana continues to develop.
It is already clear that the receiving environment cannot cope with existing effluent.

We seek the following decision from the council:
If the plan change/modification is not declined, then amend it as outlined below
Proposed amendments:
Return all treated sewage from Omaha to the Matakana catchment

An upgraded wastewater system is being installed in Matakana which pipes it all into the Whangateau Harbour catchment - Ian Macdonald

Plan Change 148 Matakana Country Park

The specific provision of the plan change/modification that my submission relates to:

The whole Plan Change

We: Oppose

The reason for our views is:

We do not believe there should be any further development of the Country Park until a Structure Plan for the Whangateau Harbour Catchment is completed. The Country Park is not part of Matakana village and any development at the Park will be in direct competition with the village and will have adverse environmental impacts on the Harbour catchment.
Any future development in the Harbour catchment should be properly planned as a part of the whole of this very sensitive catchment.
