LGWM – Strategic Context
LGWM – Strategic Context 9 November 2017 Executive Summary Purpose Let’s Get Wellington Moving (LGWM) is a joint initiative by Wellington City Council, Greater Wellington Regional Council and the New Zealand Transport Agency (the Transport Agency). LGWM is investigating the merits of investing in the transport system to improve outcomes for Wellington, with a focus on the area from Ngauranga to the airport, including the central city. This paper outlines the transport, land use and other contexts within which the LGWM programme is set. It also describes the range of strategic transport improvements being progressed or planned across the region that are not within the scope of the LGWM programme but are important complementary initiatives. Background Our region is growing, with between 100,000 and 150,000 more people expected to live here 30 years from now. More than half will live in Wellington City, and the fastest growing areas will be in and around the central city. Wellington City is expected to remain the key regional economic centre, with 80% of the region’s employment growth. Much of the peak travel demand by commuters will likely continue to be on corridors and routes to and from central Wellington. Wellington’s compact form supports an effective public transport network and high public transport use. However, overall transport capacity is constrained by narrow transport corridors that increase conflict between transport modes. Limited capacity and connections between local roads and arterial routes beyond the CBD also make the transport network vulnerable to disruptions. A number of critical lifeline locations are situated in the LGWM project area, including Wellington Regional Hospital and Wellington International Airport. -

TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS BOARD OF INQUIRY MacKays to Peka Peka Expressway Proposal HEARING at KAPITI COAST on 10 JANUARY 2013 BOARD OF INQUIRY: Sir John Hansen (Chairperson) Environment Commissioner David Bunting (Board Member) Ms Glenice Paine (Board Member) Mr Mark Apeldoorn (Board Member) Page 1897 [9.31 am] CHAIRPERSON: Thank you. Just before we call Mr Gross and Mr Gray, 5 Commissioner Bunting has indicated that he worked in the same organisation as Mr Gray many years ago. He identified that to the Board beforehand and, just for the record, we are satisfied there is no conflict of interest involved. So Mr Gross and Mr Gray if you would come forward please. 10 MR GROSS: Sir John, commissioners, my name is Michael Gross, I am currently chairperson of the Wellington District of the New Zealand Automobile Association. I have a background in local government, I chaired various local, regional and national bodies of local government 15 during the 1980s and 1990s and was spokesman for the New Zealand Local Government Association on transport issues at that time. After I exited local government in 1995 I was the establishment chair of the Transfund board and chaired that organisation for seven of its 20 nine years until policy changes saw it re-amalgamated with the Safety Authority and later, of course, morphed into the New Zealand Transport Agency as we have today. I have with me Mr Alex Gray who is an engineer who has spent a 25 career in major infrastructure projects around the Wellington region and he will largely present our submission. -

Summary of Findings Population and projections (2018 Census) ● Population: The WCT region is home to around 469,047 people, or 9.8% of New Zealand’s population. It has five territorial authority areas. Two thirds of the people in the WCT region reside in two of these five areas – Wellington City (45%) and Lower Hutt City (22%). Porirua has 12% of the WCT population, followed by 11% in Kapiti Coast District and 9% in Upper Hutt City. ● Population projection: The WCT region’s population will increase by 11% by 2038. Projected population growth in the region is lower than the projected New Zealand average (20%). This means that by 2038, the WCT region is projected to represent a slightly reduced 9.0% of New Zealand’s population. ● Ethnicity: Porirua (22%) and Lower Hutt (10%) have populations with the highest proportion of Pacific Peoples in the WCT region. Both areas also have the populations with the highest proportion of Māori (18% and 16% respectively). Population projections show that Māori and Pacific communities will grow further in proportion in these two areas by 2038. -

The Western Corridor generally follows State Highway 1 from the regional border north of Ōtaki to Ngauranga and the North Island Main Trunk railway to Kaiwharawhara. The main east- west connections are State Highway 58 and the interchange for State Highways 1 and 2 at Ngauranga. Long-term vision This Corridor Plan has been developed to support and contribute to the Regional Land Transport Strategy (RLTS), which sets the objectives and desired outcomes for the region’s transport network. The long term vision in the RLTS for the Western Corridor is: Along the Western Corridor from Ngauranga to Traffic congestion on State Highway 1 will be Ōtaki, State Highway 1 and the North Island Main managed at levels that balance the need for access Trunk railway line will provide a high level of access against the ability to fully provide for peak demands and reliability for passengers and freight travelling due to community impacts and cost constraints. within and through the region in a way which Maximum use of the existing network will be achieved recognises the important strategic regional and by removal of key bottlenecks on the road and rail national role of this corridor. -

Social Vulnerability Indicators for Flooding in Aotearoa New Zealand
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Social Vulnerability Indicators for Flooding in Aotearoa New Zealand Kylie Mason * , Kirstin Lindberg, Carolin Haenfling, Allan Schori, Helene Marsters, Deborah Read and Barry Borman Environmental Health Intelligence New Zealand, College of Health, Massey University, P.O. Box 756, Wellington 6140, New Zealand; [email protected] (K.L.); c.haenfl[email protected] (C.H.); [email protected] (A.S.); [email protected] (H.M.); [email protected] (D.R.); [email protected] (B.B.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Social vulnerability indicators are a valuable tool for understanding which population groups are more vulnerable to experiencing negative impacts from disasters, and where these groups live, to inform disaster risk management activities. While many approaches have been used to measure social vulnerability to natural hazards, there is no single method or universally agreed approach. This paper proposes a novel approach to developing social vulnerability indicators, using the example of flooding in Aotearoa New Zealand. A conceptual framework was developed to guide selection of the social vulnerability indicators, based on previous frameworks (including the MOVE framework), consideration of climate change, and a holistic view of health and wellbeing. Using this framework, ten dimensions relating to social vulnerability were identified: exposure; children; Citation: Mason, K.; Lindberg, K.; older adults; health and disability status; money to cope with crises/losses; social connectedness; Haenfling, C.; Schori, A.; Marsters, H.; knowledge, skills and awareness of natural hazards; safe, secure and healthy housing; food and water Read, D.; Borman, B. -
Petone to Grenada Link Road
Attachment 1 to Report 14.190 Petone to Grenada Link Road Petone to Grenada Issue 01 Link Road February 2014 We are considering a potential new transport link between Tawa/Porirua and the Hutt Valley to improve travel on two of Wellington’s main highways and to resolve some critical issues that affect both day-to-day travel and our ability to manage major events. The Petone to Grenada Link Road (Link Road) has been talked about N for many years. It’s been investigated most recently as part of the Ngauranga Triangle Strategy Study and included in Pauatahanui the 2011 Hutt Corridor Plan. The diagram on this page shows the existing route travelled and the potential new route options being considered. Over the past year we have been looking Porirua at the benefits of the Link Road more closely. Not only does it have the ability B to reduce congestion on State Highway 2 A (SH2) and State Highway 1 (SH1), it also has the ability to: • Make peak morning journeys between the Hutt and Porirua around 10 minutes faster and 7km shorter Tawa C Grenada • Provide another route to/from the North Hutt Valley when SH2 is blocked or Wellington City when SH1 is blocked Existing State Highways F • Support better public transport Horokiwi Current Route Churton Park access (particularly for buses) Proposed new Link Road options to/from Wellington, Porirua and Proposed Transmission Gully Route Newlands the Hutt Valley by improving traffic D Petone Existing Local Roads flow and creating the opportunity for A Proposed Takapu Interchange new routes B Proposed Kenepuru Interchange C Tawa Interchange • Support more walking and cycling E D Petone Interchange opportunities, particularly if E Ngauranga Interchange combined with the Wellington to F Grenada Interchange Hutt Valley Walking and Cycling Link • Make travel times on SH1 and SH2 more reliable a key consideration. -
