Circuit operator John Cobb wrote to BikeSportNZ.com with this news:


“Phillips Fox, the lawyers representing the council, met with our lawyers and among other things, agreed that Phillip Barrett’s planning report (recommending our resource consent application be declined) was not an impartial report because he had been in contact with both the riders and the objectors as well as being the author of the report.

“The Council is also the landowner and is trying to make the decisions on both the lease and the planning consent. The lawyers are still discussing where we go from here, but Phillips Fox were not going to oppose our appeal in the Environment Court for a stay to reopen the track.

“The objecting residents however want to be a party to the appeal and are saying they would only be happy if we are restricted to one Sunday per month and Wednesdays from 10am to 5pm in both summer and winter.”

The court was to hear the appeal for a stay in the Environment Court today.

Don’t forget to sign the petition and forward it to your friends.

“Thanks again to everyone who has got stuck in and supported the track,” said John Cobb

yeah, i suspect it will end up somewere in the middle, like harrisville, restricted hours for practice and one race meeting a month

[scott411]

Hairrsiville does not even have that, we have 10 meetings a year and 2 hours practice a week,

i am in the middle of reaource consent applications to get that exztended, but it is a long slow process, i wish John well, its not an easy thing to do,

however, a lot of the pressure form this comes down to noise issues that have got worse since four strokes, remeber thsi when purchasing exhasut systems
