Council welcomes SkyPath
closing statements
Auckland Council has welcomed the
closing statement of the Environment Court which indicated
consent would be granted, subject to refining of conditions,
for SkyPath.
The resource consent was originally granted in July 2015 by independent commissioners, but was appealed by several community organisations.
SkyPath is a pedestrian and cycle pathway across the Waitematā Harbour, linking the North Shore to the CBD.
It is proposed to be 4m wide (and 6m wide at the five viewing platforms) and fixed to the eastern clip-on lane of the Auckland Harbour Bridge.
