Key Areas

• Defining the drivers

• Delivering solutions

• Management with investment

• Conclusions Defining the Drivers A Vision for

A globally competitive city • An innovative, economic powerhouse

• Attracting and retaining talent

• Unclogged transport options

• Natural spaces and people places Defining the Drivers Productivity Auckland: • Home to over 60% of the country’s top 200 companies • Contributes more to GDP (36%) than its population share (33%) • Labour productivity 30-50% higher than other regions • City centre 150% more productive than any other in NZ • Most productive activities are business and financial services • Their productivity increases when employment density increases and there is access to more skilled labour • Making the city centre more accessible drives economic performance • The CRL will drive changes in land use, development opportunities and intensification

Defining the Drivers Accessibility

• Transport is a critical shaper and enabler of Auckland’s future • The CRL project is one of a number of critical infrastructure investments • Britomart was designed and built with the CRL in mind- the two outer tracks can punch through • The CRL addresses current constraints, unlocks the potential of the region’s public transport system and supports a more pedestrian friendly city centre • It enables a mode shift toward the Auckland Plan target of 69% of trips to the city centre being on public transport Defining the Drivers Auckland’s Population Growth

• Auckland’s population 3.5 2.3m by 2050 Growth to 2051 2006 3.0

• Population increasing by 2.5 1.6% pa 2.0

• New investment for new 1.5

Central area bus system reaches capacity in:

• 2014 – Symonds Street ( > Wellesley Street) • 2016 – Albert Street southbound • 2019 – Fanshawe Street • 2019 – Symonds Street (Khyber Pass Road > Karangahape Road)

• 2020 – Albert Street northbound Delivering Solutions The Efficiency of Public Transport

Capacity per Hour Capacity Ratio A single lane of motorway 2,400 people 1 Bus lanes 7,500 people x3

Auckland’s rail corridors 20,000 – 25,000 people x10

• New roads will be more expensive, environmentally challenging and impact more on communities • PT has the ability to move more people more efficiently, freeing up congested roads for freight, commercial and other vital economic/social trips that cannot use public transport. Management with Investment Rapid Transport’s Contribution

• Introduction of electric trains from 2014 is expected to accelerate growth in rail patronage Innovation: Integrated Station Planning Management with Investment The City Rail Link Innovation: Integrated Station Planning Management with Investment The City Rail Link Management with Investment The City Rail Link
