Bayswater plan being redrawn after council reversal Massive changes to Bayswater Marina’s planned residential development have been forced by resident and berth-holder opposition and Auckland Council’s 11th hour withdrawal of support for the proposal. Reducing the number of residential buildings and setting aside areas for marina and maritime activities will be among the chang-
es, lawyers for reclamation development said. Bayswater Marina Holdings Ltd (BMHL) had applied to build a 119-unit housing complex on the reclamation, but was slammed at a 10-day hearing for failing to include marine-related activities in the development – as required in its marine-precinct zoning.

at the hearing on October 7. But it was broadsided by Auckland Council’s withdrawal of support at the conclusion of submitter evidence. Now hearing commissioners have granted BMHL a half day in November to put forward substantial amendments to its proposal. To page 2
