AGENDA FOR A HEARING OF THE AUCKLAND TRANSPORT HEARING PANEL, TO BE HELD IN THE CHAMBER LEVEL TWO, 6 HENDERSON VALLEY ROAD, HENDERSON, AUCKLAND ON MONDAY, 16 APRIL 2012 COMMENCING AT 9.00 AM 1. DRAFT AUCKLAND REGIONAL LAND TRANSPORT PROGRAMME: HEARINGS REPORT Introduction Submissions on the Draft 2012-2015 Auckland Land Transport Programme (RLTP) closed on 23 March 2012. A total of 930 submissions were received. In addition, approximately 1,600 submissions were received on the transport section of the Auckland Council Long Term Plan (LTP). Some of these submissions relate to matters that are relevant to the RLTP. 156 submitters have indicated a wish to speak to their submissions at the RLTP Hearings, which have been set down for five days, commencing on Monday, 16 April 2012. The Hearings schedule is attached at pages 48 to 52. This report summarises the main points raised by the submitters that are due to appear at the hearings, in the order of appearance Copies of the written submissions from all submitters, including those that wish to be heard, are provided under separate cover. A further report summarising the issues raised by all submitters and officers‟ initial responses to the matters raised is currently under preparation. This report will be available prior to the Hearings Committee deliberations at the conclusion of the hearings. The responses and any recommended changes to the Draft RLTP will be finalised after the hearings, and form the basis of a report on submissions to the Auckland Transport Board. Regional Land Transport Programme Submissions: Key Themes This paper sets out some of the key themes that have emerged in submissions to the Draft Regional Land Transport Programme (RLTP). Over 900 submissions were received in total. A more detailed paper summarising the submissions and recommended responses is under preparation. Some submitters were concerned at a lack of alignment between the RLTP, the Auckland Plan and the LTP. This appears to be at two levels: Funding allocations (in both the LTP and RLTP) that do not reflect the transformational shifts and targets identified as priorities in the Auckland Plan. This is particularly the case in relation to what some submitters saw as a “business as usual” approach to PT and walking and cycling funding. Notwithstanding the draft RLTP‟s support for the CRL, rail electrification, integrated ticketing and other PT infrastructure projects, a number of submitters considered the Hearing Draft Regional Land Transport Programme 2012-2015 amount of funds allocated to PT (especially operating expenditure) to be insufficient to achieve the shift in patronage envisaged in the Auckland Plan. The allocation for walking and cycling infrastructure was also criticised by a large number of submitters as being insufficient to achieve the increases in the use of active modes. Several criticised the adherence to the Ministry of Transport‟s 0.8% budget guideline, and noted that this did not enable walking and cycling investments needed to reflect the ambitions for Auckland to become the world‟s most liveable city. 169 submitters commented on walking and cycling, most calling for a higher level of expenditure. At a more detailed level, some submitters identified lack of alignment between the funding allocations and timing of specific projects in the LTP and RLTP, and signalled the potential for the spending of AT, the Council and other agencies to be better aligned. Strong support was expressed from submitters for the “one network” approach. A large number of submitters called for the priority for specific projects to be increased; or for additional projects to be included in the RLTP. In some cases (but by no means all), this was accompanied by suggestions for projects that should have a correspondingly lower priority. Local boards want to see a greater amount of detail on the projects proposed in their areas. They are unclear on the extent to which local board plans have been reflected in the RLTP funding allocations. They also seek more detail on the level of subsidised and unsubsidised work in their areas. Responses to the major projects listed in section 5.1 of the Draft RLTP were as follows: Rail electrification (49 submissions): most of the submitters on this subject were supportive of the funding allocation to electrification. Some support was noted for extension of electrification to Pukekohe at an early stage. CRL (177 submissions): the CRL attracted large number of comments, both positive and negative. Supporters feel that it is an essential component in improving the region‟s PT system, but opponents were concerned about the cost, especially given the apparent lack of Government support. There was concern that the level of funds required could “crowd out” other necessary projects. Western ring route (16 submissions): submitters were generally in favour of completion of the western ring route. AMETI (45 submissions): While submissions that commented on AMETI were generally supportive of the project, some concerns were expressed about elements of the project. A number of submitters felt that the focus should be on PT improvements, and the need for some of the road components was questioned. Comments were also received on the potential extension of the AMETI project to encompass an east-west connection through to SH20. Page 3 of 52 Hearing Draft Regional Land Transport Programme 2012-2015 Dominion Road (8 submissions): generally supported, but some suggestions for modifications to elements of the project. Tiverton/Wolverton (8 submissions): generally supported Albany Highway (9 submissions): submitters were supportive of the project, but critical of the proposed 5 year construction timeframe. A shorter implementation period was recommended, to alleviate concerns over safety and disruption, especially for schools in the area. Redoubt Rd/Mill Rd (6 submissions): submitters generally supported this project, but comments were made in relation to timing, to coincide with development in the area. Other significant themes to emerge included: Integrated ticketing/AIFS (51 submissions): seen as a high priority by most, but some concerns at the high cost and implementation problems associated with HOP to date. Rail to the airport (44 submissions): Majority support amongst those that submitted on this issue; opponents raised concerns over cost and justification at this time. Waitemata Harbour Crossing (69 submissions): submissions on this subject generally favoured a continuation of planning and route protection for an additional harbour crossing, with preference expressed for a tunnel. Some submissions expressed concern at the cost of a new crossing, and there was some concern (mainly from local communities) about the location of the crossing. Public transport network planning (250 submissions): a large number of submissions addressed issues to do with public transport services, often requesting specific improvements or adjustments to services in local areas. The Auckland Harbour Bridge Pathway project received a strong level of support, with submitters concerned that it was not included in the Draft. Completion of the regional cycle network also received strong support. Integration of land use and transport: This was generally supported as a priority, but some submitters pointed to projects that did not appear to be consistent with the concept. For example, a number of submitters referred to the need for the development of a new station and park and ride facility at Walters Road, adjacent to the town centre, rather than an upgrade of the existing Takanini Station. City centre focus: A number of submissions, generally from outer areas, were critical of the focus of transport expenditure on the city centre. Submitters noted that a relatively small proportion of trips are focused on the CBD, and that there was a need to ensure that transport issues elsewhere in Auckland were adequately addressed, and not “crowded out” by funding for major city centre projects (especially the CRL). Seal extensions: a number of submitters from rural areas expressed concern at the limited budget available for seal extensions, which is not considered adequate to achieve a reasonable programme of work. Page 4 of 52 Hearing Draft Regional Land Transport Programme 2012-2015 Submitters to be heard: summary of key points The key points from the written submissions of those wishing to be heard are summarised below, in order of appearance. Because the Draft RLTP was released for public comment alongside the Auckland Council LTP, a number of submitters have commented on transport issues as part of a submission on LTP. In other cases, submissions to the RLTP have raised issues that are more appropriately addressed as part of the LTP consultation process. Officers have attempted to ensure that the matters that are dealt with by the RLTP are relevant to that document, but inevitably there is some overlap, especially in matters relating to funding allocations and prioritisation. MONDAY, 16 APRIL 2012 9:00 - Brendon Cullen Amount proposed for road seal extensions across the region is pathetic, at only around $500,000 p.a.

The next Hauraki Gulf Islands District Plan will take the islands forward to 2020 and we can only guess the changes that may impact on the Gulf during this time. The review of the District Plan is an opportunity to look at how we contribute to the social, economic, cultural and environmental wellbeing of the islands - factors which contribute to the purpose of the Resource Management Act. The Resource Management Act 1991 requires us to act in a sustainable manner. We need to be able to provide for the needs of present and future generations so that development undertaken today is sustainable in the longer-term.

  • Aotea/Great Barrier Natural Environment-Islands Monthly Update December & January
    Aotea/Great Barrier Natural Environment-Islands monthly update December & January Prepared for the Great Barrier Local Board 28/01/2020 Aotea Great Barrier Local Board funded programmes Argentine ant & Plague skink surveillance • Rosalie bay Rd – Because of the connectivity with the Mulberry Grove Argentine ant site, sites at top of road were monitored with nothing detected. • A selection of sites between Okiwi airfield and Orama were monitored with neither Argentine ants nor Plague skinks detected. Okiwi Community Pest Coordinator • Rat trapping is continuing, cat trapping will resume in February. • The coordinator is in the process of doing a door to door visit with people revisiting priorities for the project given a number have dropped out of rat trapping. The survey completed in 2017 will be revisited as a prompt, however the visits will be more focused as an opportunity to chat face to face with individuals about where they see the project going. • The results will be available in March 2020. • feedback to date indicates a desire to continue with community led bird counts in addition to the island wide counts, to continue rat trapping on public land, to put more emphasis on rat monitoring than recording every capture on all private land (many are using rat bait or a combo of traps and rat bait). Pest Pathways • Pest pathway ambassadors attended training with Conservation Advisors in December. • Key message: Buy Locally - This message covers three aspects of environmental protection, waste minimisation, low carbon and biosecurity. By reducing freight to Aotea visitors can reduce their carbon footprint and reduce the risk of inadvertently transporting pest species.
