Thread: Auckland shooting club. Resource consent help

I'm currently reading the application and associated documentation.

I'm thinking about a few points that people might use in a supporting submission - but then they'll start to read like a ChatGPT version of a proforma submission.

I'm not saying don't submit in support. It helps, but it helps more if you can give good reasons for your support, and reasons that stack up in the RMA context.

"I'm a shooter and this'll be a great place to let of a few rounds" probably won't help.

Highlight the efforts to mitigate and improve on the environmental effects.
The location with few neighbours.
Support for a sporting group.
The favourable acoustic reports.

However I do, honestly, have a few concerns.
15 carparks. Can the applicant guarantee there will only be 15 vehicles visiting at any one time? How?
If not what provision for overflow parking?

Accessibility - only on accessible carpark (1/15 is probably okay) but will there be accessible access to the Portaloos?
Will there be accessible access to all the ranges? If not why not?

They've engaged a lot of consultants in the right areas.
I wish them well.
