  • [Review] for Vote Transport
    Hon Bill English Minister of Finance 7.6 Executive Wing Parliament Buildings WELLINGTON Dear Bill VALUE FOR MONEY REVIEW – VOTE TRANSPORT Purpose This letter responds to your letter dated 17 December 2008 and the Cabinet Business Committee paper CBC (08) 563. In line with the letter and Cabinet paper, I have asked the Ministry to review Vote Transport to identify: • savings that could be freed up for Budget 2009; • programmes that are inconsistent with the government’s priorities and should be discontinued; • programmes that are inconsistent with the government’s priorities and should be looked into; • programmes and expenditure that are not effective or efficient; • areas where performance information is currently insufficient to judge effectiveness or efficiency and actions that are required to make improvements by the next review. Vote Transport summary A summary of the funding under Vote Transport is attached to this letter. It is separated between departmental and non-departmental funding. Departmental funding The Ministry of Transport’s departmental funding will decrease by $3.685 million over the next three years mainly due to the cessation of medium-term project funding. In addition to the planned decrease in funding, the Ministry has forecast unavoidable cost increases arising from existing commitments in relation to staff costs (salaries), building and other expenses. These are expected to add a further $3.377 million by 2011/2012, or 12 percent of the baseline funding of $28.4 million. My Chief Executive has made a commitment

  • Potential Shallow Seismic Sources in the Hamilton Basin Project 16/717 5 July 2017
    Final Report on EQC Potential shallow seismic sources in the Hamilton Basin Project 16/717 5 July 2017 Vicki Moon & Willem de Lange School of Science University of Waikato 1. Introduction Following the exposure of a fault within a cutting in a new sub-division development in NE Hamilton, an initial investigation suggested the presence of 4 fault zones within the Hamilton Basin (Figure 1) that represented a potential hazard to infrastructure within the Basin. Hence, the overall aim of the proposal put to EQC was to refine the locations of four potentially active faults within the Hamilton Basin. To achieve this aim, two main phases of geophysical surveying were planned: 1. A seismic reflection survey along the Waikato River channel; and 2. Resistivity surveying to examine the sub- surface structure of identified fault zones. Additional MSc student projects, funded by Waikato Regional Council, were proposed to map the surface geology and geomorphology, and assess the liquefaction potential within the Hamilton Basin. During the course of the project, the initial earthworks Figure 1: Map of the four fault zones that were initially identified from geomorphology for the Hamilton Section of the Waikato Expressway and surface fault exposures, as presented in provided exposures of faults, which resulted in some the original proposal. modification of the project. 2. Methods The two main methodological approaches planned for this project were: 1. A high resolution CHIRP seismic reflection survey along the Waikato River within the Hamilton Basin. A previous study examining the stability of the river banks in response to fluctuating water levels (Wood, 2006) had obtained detailed data on the morphology of the river bed using multi-beam and single-beam echo sounders (MBES and SBES respectively), and side scan sonar.

  • Case Study in Waikato Soils for the Hamilton Section of the Waikato Expressway
    Yong, I. & Clayton, P.B. (2017) Application of Soil Specific Correction Factors for Liquefaction Assessment: Case Study in Waikato Soils for the Hamilton Section of the Waikato Expressway. Proc. 20th NZGS Geotechnical Symposium. Eds. GJ Alexander & CY Chin, Napier Application of soil specific correction factors for liquefaction assessment: case study in Waikato soils for the Hamilton section of the Waikato expressway Irene Yong Geotechnical Engineer, Beca Auckland, NZ [email protected] Philip Clayton Technical Director, Beca Auckland, NZ. [email protected] (Corresponding author) Keywords: Fines Correction, Ic Cutoff, Liquefaction, Hamilton Ash, Waikato. ABSTRACT The four-lane, 21.8 kilometre long, Hamilton Section of the Waikato Expressway is the largest roading project undertaken in this region’s history and one of the larger projects currently being undertaken in New Zealand. Many of the seventeen expressway bridges in the Hamilton Section are underlain by Pleistocene soils assessed as having a high liquefaction potential. Typically the soils encountered are volcanic in origin either as primary tephra deposits or reworked volcanically derived material. A number of researchers have noted the potential for misclassification of such soils by the CPT, therefore it was decided to undertake co-located borehole/SCPT/SDMT and laboratory classification testing for use in conjunction with a site wide geologic model to develop soil specific correction factors for use in liquefaction assessment. Soil specific correction factors were investigated for the Ic sand like/clay like cut-off (B&I 2014) and the fines content (Cfc). The specific correction factors derived are presented along with examples from the project showing the consequence, some of which are significant, of adopting soil specific correlations.

  • Te Awa Lakes: Housing Economics
    5 April 2018 Attn: Paul Radich Development Planner, Te Awa Lakes Development Perry Group Via email: [email protected] CC: [email protected] Te Awa Lakes: Housing Economics Dear Paul, This letter aims to provide ongoing assessment in relation to demand for Qualifying Developments, and also comments on local demand for residential housing in the proposed Te Awa Lakes Special Housing Area. Updating RCG’s Housing Commentary We summarise the key points from RCG’s Assessment of Economic Effects report for Te Awa Lakes below. 1 We have updated these points with more recent data where available: • Net migration into New Zealand remains at near-record levels of around 70,000 a year. • Auckland is still not keeping pace with its own housing shortage, i.e. ‘supply’ of new homes is not matching ‘demand’ from population growth. • Auckland is likely to keep losing people to neighbouring regions such as the Waikato, especially when there is housing pressure (as is currently the case). • Auckland’s house price boom began in 2012 and spread to Hamilton by 2015. In both cities, and most other parts of New Zealand, prices have flattened out in 2017-18. • The average house value in Hamilton is now $548,000, compared with $363,000 four years ago. 2 • Building consents in Hamilton, Waikato and Waipa remain at near-record levels, but have plateaued. 1 http://www.hamilton.govt.nz/our-council/council- publications/districtplans/ODP/Documents/Te%20Awa%20Lakes%20Private%20Plan%20Chan ge/Appendix_6_Assessment_of_Economic_Effects.PDF 2 Data from https://www.qv.co.nz/property-trends/residential-house-values , for Feb 2018 compared with Feb 2014 RCG | CONSTRUCTIVE THINKING.
