Ōrewa highrise decision awaited

Developer Rick Martin of K Rd Investments has yet to make a decision on whether or not to proceed with his plans to build an eight storey ‘vertical retirement village’ in front of the Nautilus apartments in Tamariki Ave, central Ōrewa.

In August, Auckland Council decided to publicly notify the resource consent application for the proposed building, giving the community a say. 

However, the developer/applicant must then decide whether to agree to this, or withdraw the application.  Last week Martin had no comment to make on this, and Council advises no decision has been forthcoming as yet. 

There are no time constraints on when such a decision must be made by the applicant.
