Submissions were received from Ngāi Te Rangi, Ngāti Kuku, Ngāi Tukairangi and the Whareroa Marae. “While the proposal sits comfortably with some Tauranga City Plan provisions, again these are secondary to the activity itself,” Sweetman said. “Simply, the applicant seeks to establish an over height tank farm adjacent to and visible from an existing established sensitive area, that is of great significance to tangata whenua and where they live, work and play. “I agree with the applicant that the proposal will sit within a context of large established industrial buildings and structures. “However, contrary to the applicant’s and consistent with the Tauranga City Council’s view, I find that this sits unfavourably against the application.’’
