Rangiora Racecourse quarry resource consent notified
The public will get the opportunity to have its say on a proposal to establish a quarry at the Rangiora Racecourse.
An application by Taggart Earthmoving Ltd for a resource consent to extract gravel has been lodged, and will now be publicly notified.
The Waimakariri District Council and Environment Canterbury (ECan) are calling for submissions until November 27.
Taggart first applied to the Waimakariri council to extract gravel from the site on Lehmans Rd in 2018, but had been in discussion with the racecourse since 2016.
More details were sought by the councils and after several applications required more information, a compliant application was submitted in October.
There has been growing public interest in the proposal this year, and a 5000-signature petition was presented to the council in September.
A public meeting was held for Taggart and racecourse representatives to talk to the community last month, attended by local resident John Mather, who said residents made their opinions heard.
The full application can be viewed on the Waimakariri council and ECan websites.
All submissions should be sent to Environment Canterbury, PO Box 345 Christchurch 8140; or emailed to hearings@ecan.govt.nz; or made online.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
