  • Quality of Life Report, 1Pm, Tuesday, November 27, 2007
    Joint media release from the Councils of North Shore, Waitakere, Auckland, Manukau, Rodney, Hamilton, Tauranga, Wellington, Hutt, Porirua, Christchurch and Dunedin. EMBARGOED UNTIL THE OFFICIAL RELEASE OF THE QUALITY OF LIFE REPORT, 1PM, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2007 QUALITY OF LIFE REPORT 2007: AUCKLAND CITY MEDIA RELEASE Auckland city offers a high quality of life and has strong population and economic growth – but also experiences pressure on infrastructure and housing, according to a national report out today. The 2007 Quality of Life report, released by the Metropolitan Sector Group today, provides a comprehensive assessment of the quality of life in 12 New Zealand cities, as part of a multi-council initiative. Mayor of Auckland city, Hon. John Banks, said the report highlighted the many positive features of life in Auckland city. “Auckland offers its residents a wealth of opportunities and residents clearly recognise this, with 91% of them rating their quality of life as good or extremely good. That’s a ringing endorsement for the city.” Auckland continued to experience strong population growth, recording a 10% increase between 2001 and 2006. The make-up of the city’s population was ethnically diverse and nearly two-thirds of Aucklanders felt positively about the impact of this increased cultural diversity. As well as strong population growth, the city also experienced economic growth, averaging 4.1% per year between 2001 and 2006. Mr Banks said the Auckland economy was thriving. “From 2001 to 2006, we had the highest number of new jobs and new businesses created of any city in New Zealand. Auckland is the country’s economic powerhouse and it’s good to see that this report demonstrates that the city’s economy is continuing to perform.

  • Heart Work-Out Deep New Zealand Watching the Clouds Child Scientists a Word from the Dean
    May|June 2008 | Faculty of Science Alumni Magazine Issue 02 Heart Work-out Deep New Zealand Watching the clouds Child scientists A word from the Dean Election time looms: is there a technology-led future for our nation? As the election approaches, we have the opportunity to ask ourselves whether any of the major political parties do genuinely believe in a technology-led future for New Zealand. New Zealand is a small country and in many ways we do very well, punching above our weight internationally in certain areas (the dairy industry being the most obvious). But why do we have only one Fisher and Paykel Healthcare, one Raykon Industries and one Buckley Systems, when as a nation we have the expertise and potential to have so many more of these dynamic entities? Without growth and investment in the technology sector, we will continue to fall behind other nations. Currently, only the Government has the scale to prime the pump and invest heavily in a technology-led future for our nation. The Centres of Research Excellence and Partnership for Excellence programmes, both good ideas from the present Government, have focused research on potentially nation-altering science and technology. However, to kick-start early stage basic research, the HRC and Marsden funds need significantly more investment. The recently announced $700M Government Investment Fund is a good start, but this will yield only an additional ~$100 million per year, probably targeted at the land-based industries, of which dairy is by far the largest likely recipient. So where could the required increase in technology investment come from? At the moment, the Trustees invest most of our Superannuation Fund offshore, minimising risk but leaving New Zealand starved of investment.

  • Auckland's Signal Pre-Emption and Real Time
    AUCKLAND’S SIGNAL PRE-EMPTION AND REAL TIME PASSENGER INFORMATION SYSTEM By Vadi Vencatachellum MIPENZ, Registered Engineer Senior Transport Planner Auckland City Council Page 1 of 12 AUCKLAND’S SIGNAL PRE-EMPTION AND REAL TIME PASSENGER INFORMATION SYSTEM Under a $7million contract, SAAB ITS Pty. Ltd. is supplying and installing an intelligent transport system for public transport in Auckland City. The very complex technical aspects of this project challenged the contractor to create solutions that would meet the performance specification of the contract. This paper outlines the steps leading, it is hoped to the operation of the first stage of Auckland’s Signal Pre-emption and Real Time Passenger Information System later this year. 1. Introduction Since 1998, Auckland City Council has had a working real time passenger information system providing information at 4 bus stops and signal pre-emption at 8 intersections along 2 major bus routes. This system used transponders on buses and detector loops in the carriageway to locate buses and predict their real arrival time at bus stops equipped with variable passenger information display signs. Because of concerns about the increasing costs of expanding the existing system, lack of competition for system supply and the desire to review alternative technologies available, the Council decided to delay implementation. In 1999 the Intelligent Transport System (ITS) consultant PPK Pty Ltd was engaged to carry out a ‘Positioning Review Study’ [1] of available technologies and existing systems, and their benefits and risks. A proposed action plan was developed by PPK to drive the future implementation of a system within the Auckland region, addressing issues including system functional design, system delivery, management, maintenance and future system development.
