NEWS 24 North Canterbury News, October 1, 2020 Quarry plans given airing at public session By SHELLEY TOPP Taggart chief executive Paul Taggart faced agrilling at a public dropin session about the company’s proposed quarry at Rangiora Racecourse. It was delivered by people at last week’s session who oppose the company’s proposal for a quarry at the racecourse. Mr Taggart, who lives in Clarkville, said he understood that many people in Rangiora were opposed to the quarry, but he believed those who attended the dropin session went away with a‘‘better understanding of what we want to do and why’’. However, Sue Johnson, who lives near the racecourse, told Mr Taggart she was against the quarry and believed it would be ‘‘the nail in the coffin’’ for Rangiora. ‘‘People won’t want to live here,’’ she said. ‘‘Rangiora is filled with alot of families and older people. We love living here. We don’t want to live near aquarry.’’ People attending were met at the door by Hamish Peacock, technical director of Pattle Delamore Partners, an engineering and environmental consultancy company hired by Taggart to outline the quarry proposal to the public. The consultancy had installed atrail of information about the quarry plan and the Taggart company, pinned to display boards in the room at the racecourse hosting the session. The information included a request for submissions on the proposal and an assurance that the consents process will be publicly notified. Waimakariri District Council Mayor Dan Gordon, who attended the session, said later that Taggart formally filed an application for the quarry with the council on April 9. ‘‘The applicant lodged several versions of documentation prior to this, but these did not meet the requirements of the RMA (Resource Management Act) in terms of information and were formally returned,’’ he said. The Taggart application did not request public notification. ‘‘Technically, an applicant cannot request nonnotification; they can only request public notification,’’ Mr Gordon said. ‘‘However an applicant’s assessment of environmental effects may conclude that no persons will be affected by a proposal,’’ he said. Notification requirements for aconsent are set out in section 95 of the act. The decision on notification or otherwise is made by an officer delegated by the council to make adecision under this section, and is made after considering areport from a planning officer. Mr Taggart said arevised consent application for the quarry would likely be lodged with the district council within the next two weeks. Petition group ... Some of the more than 4000 people who signed apetition opposing a Rangiora Racecourse quarry proposed by Taggart were at the racecourse on Wednesday last week for an information session about the proposal.
