Decision making process


Hearings Panel

On the 12th and 15th of August 2024, a Hearings Panel met to consider all feedback and the staff recommendation, prior to making their own recommendation to Council.

Read the agenda for the Hearings Panel, including the staff recommendation.

The Panel decided to recommend to Council that the changes be kept, with the following adjustments:

  • Amending the new layout after the hoardings on The Court Theatre construction site are removed to, adding five P10 carparks and one mobility park
  • Adding additional shared zone signage and markings to highlight the 10km/h speed limit
  • Moving planter boxes to improve visibility for drivers exiting the car park at 148 Gloucester Street
  • Extending the length of bus parking outside Fable Hotel
  • Investigating moving the Wahi Taiao stage and swapping it with other street furniture
  • The Council consider funding permanent changes in a future Annual/Long Term Plan
