Effects at Maymorn are being managed through the conditions laid out in the Resource Consent granted by the Upper Hutt City Council. Most of these conditions were volunteered by the Trust in its submitted Assessment of Environmental Effects, and were extended through consultation and negotiation with affected parties. This includes noise, smoke, lighting mitigation measures, placement of buildings, restrictions on operations and establishment of policies and procedures to mitigate effects. Effects of a heritage railway can be effectively managed, and the operation will add a significant tourist attraction and a number of associated opportunities for Upper Hutt and the broader Wellington region.
