Hi all,

My wife and I are looking for advice and/or opinions regarding Chorus's proposed install plan to cut across my property and supply fibre to six flats and another house that shares our crosslease.

A ROW/Easement runs alongside our house and goes past our crosslease-neighbour's house and section to six flats behind. A concreted lead-in space sits between the ROW and our garage. This concrete is wider at the easement side, and tapers narrower closer to the garage.

Chorus propose to dig across grass from the corner of our property by the easement, then cut across our concrete lead-in area where it is narrower by roughly 2 metres. I assume this is easier for them because it's a shorter distance to cut. After this, they continue to run cable off to the back flats.

My big concern is that, if we choose to subdivide, will Auckland Council have a problem with the cable location and force us to move it because it's on our private property and not on the easement area? Otherwise, I have no issue with Chorus proceeding with their plan.

Has anyone else had issues with Chorus Fibre work done which had to be moved later during a crosslease to subdivision procedure?

thanks
