Buy-out of private properties affected by slips Debate

Community Wellbeing - Safety and Security

Option 3

Residents supporting Option 3 emphasize the necessity of purchasing properties affected by slips to ensure resident safety and mitigate future risks. They advocate for prioritizing buyouts where slips originated from council-owned land, reflecting a perceived higher responsibility on the council's part. Additionally, there is a strong sentiment for preventing future developments on high-risk lands and ensuring that any buyout schemes are clearly communicated as one-off measures to avoid setting precedents.

Table of comments:

Point No	Comment
346.5	BUY OUT OF PRIVATE PROPERTIES  AFFECTED BY SLIPS.
473.2	only buyout if it was caused by Council land slips
529.2	I would like to see remedial work in the Brook Valley competed - this includes the one-lane road and the continuing slippage/slumpage at start of Tantragee road.
621.2	Council must also stop issuing consents for development on land which has potential to create landslide risks in future e.g. consented development behind 205 & 207 The Ridgeway.
1009.2	It would be best to offer support to those who have no other option other than to live at the affected property.
1226.2	Payout eligibility should prioritise properties where slips occurred from Council land. A much lower payout should be paid to properties affected by slips from private land (even less than the proposed 75% - more like a maximum of 50%). Agree that a lower payment should be offered to uninsured properties.
1389.2	I believe that setting 14 as the limit will exclude properties affected in the Tahunanui Stansell Ave area.   These properties need to be included for future proofing likely damage to infra structure.
1479.2	This should definitely be a one-off related to 2022, but the message should be imparted to avoid inadequately prepared/protected new housing projects in areas with high risk of slips
