Evidence Summary on Gas Transmission Network Infrastructure in Waikato District Plan Review

Sensitive considerations are crucial in planning gas transmission networks to address potential reverse sensitivity effects. The evidence presented highlights the importance of implementing relief measures, especially in gas stations, to manage noise, odor emissions, and maintenance activities effectively. The focus is on secure compound structures and infrastructure adjustments to enhance operational safety and reduce environmental impact.

1. Waikato District Plan Review Infrastructure Chapter (Hearing 22) Evidence of Hywel Edwards on behalf of Firstgas Ltd 20 October 2020

2. Sensitivity: General Summary of Evidence Quick recap on reverse sensitivity for context (Rural Chapter) Infrastructure Evidence Large measure of agreement with Infrastructure Officer Report Recommendations, but some amendments sought:

3. Sensitivity: General Summary of Evidence 1. Gas Transmission Network: A network for the purpose of conveying high pressure gas and liquid petroleum including pipelines and above-ground infrastructure 2. Planning Maps illustration of above-ground gas stations (x10)

4. Sensitivity: General Summary of Evidence Relief sought - part of a suite of measures (Rural Chapter evidence) Required to address reverse sensitivity effects on the wider gas transmission network beyond solely the gas transmission pipeline (e.g. Objective 6.1.6) Gas Stations Nature of activities different (e.g. venting with noise and odour emissions) Different risk profile (no land covering) Maintenance activities occur at gas stations

5. Sensitivity: General Above-ground Gas Stations Secure compound Can be a site to house infrastructure for changing high pressure into low pressure Venting activities (temporary noise and odour emissions)

6. Sensitivity: General Gas Station built-out (subdivision and land use)
