That the following items are
amended to identify the
archaeological significance that they
have in relation to the Historic Places
Act:
- Gothic Style Cemetery Post
- Glendonald Sod Hut
- Former Railway Hotel (Albury
Tavern)
- Burkes Pass Hotel Stables
- Burkes Pass School
- Brackens Barn
- Annis Cob Cottage
- Albury Park Lime Works
That the items proposed for listing in
the District Plan be assigned to
Category Y to ensure that the
protection afforded them is
consistent with the purposes of the
Resource Management Act.
That all presently known flaws in the
plan listing be addressed as part of
this proposed plan amendment, to
avoid future difficulties and to ensure
the most effective outcome is
achieved as a consequence of this
change.
That a commitment is given to
setting aside funding to initiate a
more comprehensive overview
approach to the identification of
historic heritage in the district.
The proposed minor alterations for
the purposes of clear identification
be supported.
That the introduction of descriptive
criteria for listing be supported |
The proposed listings identify
specific criteria for significance.
These criteria include archaeological
potential. In all of the items listed,
this listing is crossed as being not
relevant. It is the view of the Trust
that this is misleading and has the
potential to confuse present and
future owners about the way in
which the provisions of the Historic
Places Act apply to these places.
Creates tension between this plan
amendments and the purposes of
the Historic Places Act. The
situation is exacerbated by the
Category Z listing.
The proposed amendments to
current listings are supported, as
they provide more accurate
descriptors.
The proposed change is incomplete
in that there has been no systematic
process of identification.
The proposed change fails to
address known difficulties that exist
within the present listings, with
particular reference to the lack of
clarity as to which building are
“heritage” in groups of buildings that
have been identified (e.g. Haldon
Station).
Present provisions in the plan are
insufficient to prove appropriate
protection for the places that are
listed as Category Z. They identify
activities such as demolition or
removal as a permitted activity and
require only that the places are
documented before destruction. This
is inconsistent with best practice and
the decision to list new places under
this category fails to meet the
requirements of the RMA. |
