Environment Canterbury has received an application from Lyttelton Port Company (LPC) for resource consents in respect of its proposed Te Awaparahi Bay Reclamation Project (Project).

 The Project involves the proposed construction of a reclamation and a piled wharf totalling approximately 24 hectares in size.  The Project is to be undertaken in Te Awaparahi Bay, Lyttelton Harbour/Whakaraupō.

 LPC proposes to undertake the Project in two stages:

•           Stage 1 will involve the construction of approximately 5 hectares of reclamation via end tipping; and

•           Stage 2 will involve the construction of approximately 16 hectares of reclamation, by:

             –          creating a perimeter bund around the remaining area to be reclaimed; and

              –         the bulk filling of the area behind the bund.

 A piled wharf will be constructed in stages along the southern edge of the proposed reclamation footprint.

 Part of Cashin Quay breakwater will also be removed, during either Stage 1 or Stage 2 of the reclamation construction.

 The applicant has applied for the following resource consents in relation to the proposed Project:

1.         CRC175507 – Coastal permit to reclaim seabed and construct a wharf, and associated disturbance of the seabed, and deposition onto or into the seabed in the Coastal Marine Area.

 2.         CRC176030 – Coastal permit to discharge contaminants (seabed material and water) into water in the Coastal Marine Area associated with construction of the reclamation and wharf described in CRC175507.

 3.         CRC175508 – Coastal permit to discharge any water or any contaminants into water or into or onto land, and associated deposition in the Coastal Marine Area.

 4.         CRC175509 – Coastal permit to discharge stormwater (water and contaminants) into water, or onto or into land, and associated deposition in the Coastal Marine Area.

 5.         CRC175510 – Discharge permit and a coastal permit to discharge dust into air from the site.

 A diagram outlining the location of the Project, the site boundary and details of its approximate staging is included as Figure 1.

 The application includes an assessment of effects.

 An unlimited duration of consent is sought for consent CRC175507.  A consent duration of 35 years is sought for all other consents.
