 The Board of Inquiry approved the resource consents and the notices of requirement required for the Transmission Gully Proposal.On 16 May 2013, national grid owner Transpower applied for consent to the Kapiti Coast District Council to rebuild its Valley Road, Paraparaumu substation to 220 kV and build two short transmission lines to connect it to the two Bunnythorpe to Haywards 220 kV lines to the east.This would allow Transpower to demolish the existing 110 kV line between Pauatahanui and Paraparaumu through Transmission Gully, rather than having to relocate it around the motorway.
