land transport activities in the Wellington region proposed to be funded over the three year from period July 2018 to June 2021. The RLTP includes a statement of transport priorities for the region over the ten financial years from July 2015 to June 2025. The regional programme provides an updated financial forecast for this period. It includes investment management, road safety promotion and demand management, walking and cycling, public transport, transitional rail, and local road and state highway maintenance and improvements. Activities for which funding has already been committed, local road maintenance, operations and renewals programmes and the ongoing programme of public transport services are automatically included in the RLTP. Other activities are included at the discretion of the Regional Transport Committee (RTC). In the Wellington region, projects over $5 million that are regionally or inter-regionally significant are prioritised by the RTC. The RTC has chosen to present the significant activities in three priority bands, rather than as a numbered list. In seeking funding for activities, the LTMA sets out some requirements for how activities are prioritised. Under these requirements: • Activities for which funding has already been committed (Table four) are funded first • Automatically included activities (Greater Wellington’s public transport programme of ongoing services, and the local road maintenance, operations and renewals programmes of the other councils in the region) (Table five) are prioritised for funding ahead of other activities • Activities that are included at the discretion of the RTC are then prioritised As part of the development of the RLTP 2015 a decision was made about how to determine the significance of activities and the implications of this for prioritisation. As a result of this decision: • Activities under $5 million and those that are not regionally or inter-regionally significant, known as non-prioritised activities (Table six) are prioritised for funding ahead of significant activities • Under the updated regional programme prioritisation methodology, significant activities (those that are over $5 million and regionally significant) in Table one and two have been placed in priority bands. These priority bands are ranked after the non-prioritised activities in the overall programme in the following order: • Priority band 1 (the highest priority significant new activities) • Priority band 2 (the second highest priority significant new activities) • Priority band 3 (the third highest priority significant new activities) The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) must take account of the RLTP when allocating funding from the National Land Transport Fund (NLTF) through the National Land Transport Programme (NLTP). Most activities require funding assistance from the NLTF and will only go ahead if they are included in the NLTP by the NZTA. Most activities, other than state highway and transitional rail activities, also depend on funding from regional or local councils and will only go ahead if they are included in the relevant council’s long term plan or annual plan. The priority of activities does not indicate the order in which they will be implemented; this will be determined as part of other decision making processes. Proposed budgets and timing for activities are subject to change as project scope develops and more information becomes available. This RLTP mid-term review for the Wellington region has been prepared in accordance with the legislative requirements under the Land Transport Management Act 2003. The programme forms a fundamental element of the RLTP.

  • Evidence of John Christopher Horne
    Before a Board of Inquiry Transmission Gully Notices of Requirement and Consent Applications Under: The Resource Management Act 1991 In the matter of: Notices of requirement for designations and resource consent applications by the NZ Transport Agency, Porirua City Council and Transpower New Zealand Limited for the Transmission Gully Proposal Between: NZ Transport Agency Requiring Authority and Applicant And: Porirua City Council Local Authority and Applicant And: Transpower New Zealand Limited Applicant Evidence of John Christopher Horne _________________________________________________________________ QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE 1. My name is John Christopher Horne. 2. I was asked to assess the potential effects of the proposal on recreational use in the area. I have restricted my consideration to use by walkers and runners, as I do not have relevant expertise in relation to mountain biking, kayaking, angling and other recreational uses. 3. I do not have a formal qualification relevant to this area of expertise. 4. I have extensive experience in undertaking and managing recreational activities in the area. I am involved in two organisations that provide support for recreational activities, the Tararua Tramping Club, and Wellington Botanical Society (WBS). 5. I have participated in WBS field trips in: • the bush block, Battle Hill Farm Forest Park • Cannons Creek Covenant, Belmont Regional Park/Waitangirua Farm. 6. I have led numerous tramps across Belmont Regional Park, between the Hutt Valley and Porirua Basin. Each of these traverses have involved crossing the Waitangirua Farm section of Belmont Regional Park, using one of the following routes across the designation for the proposed TGP: • Track over pasture from Cannons Head, 390 m, in the headwaters of Cannons Creek, to near Takapu Road sub-station, then on old farm road through regenerating forest to the west side of Cannons Creek Covenant, then on an old farm road to the Cannons Creek Lakes, and footpath to Warspite , Waitangirua.

  • Draft Regional Passenger Transport Plan Dr Tr
    Draft Regional Passenger Draft Regional Passenger Transport Plan Transport Plan November 2006 November 2006 Foreword A Clear Direction in Changing Times Our Council is launching its Regional Passenger Transport Plan in changing times. We saw a dramatic increase in the numbers of passengers on both trains and buses during the past year. Unusually, there was even more growth in peak times than at off-peak times. A big question is whether this kind of growth will be sustained? The plan which follows sets a clear direction. Our Vision is for “a public transport network that helps people get around the region easily”. A key goal is to increase public transport’s share of all journeys. This is a testing target. Two other goals reinforce our vision. They seek an “accessible and integrated” network, and the “socially and environmentally sustainable economic development of the region.” The New Zealand Transport Strategy – Responsiveness v Affordability This strategy is the major Government transport policy document. It calls for a sustainable transport system that is also affordable, integrated, safe and responsive to our needs. The aim of the plan which follows is to be “responsive”. Our Council has the difficult task of determining how it may also be “affordable”. We will continue monitoring passenger usage carefully; then act only where a clear and established trend indicates action is needed. Our ten year financial plan for 2006-16 does already provide for a very considerable investment in rail rolling stock and other infrastructure. The overall passenger transport expenditure allowed for in that plan has significant effects on fares, rates and borrowing.

It begins at 150m above sea level and reaches its highest point at Mount Crawford 1462m. • Warning: Weather in the Tararua Ranges is notorious for deteriorating rapidly. Be prepared for extreme conditions at all times. There can be gale-force winds and heavy rain. Snow can fall in any season. Be prepared to wait out storms or for streams to subside after heavy rain. Do not cross swollen streams. Be sure to fill in intentions book at the start of the track. The trail is divided into three stages of 1-2 days each, depending on fitness and weather conditions. • 1) Poads Road (Levin) to Te Matawai Hut (900m), via Gable End Ridge • 2) Te Matawai Hut to Nichols Hut (1160m) via Dracophyllum Hut • 3) Nichols Hut to Pārāwai Hut (Ōtaki Forks, Road End,100m) via Waitewaewae Hut (310m) If exiting from the Mangahao-Makahika Track, walk approximately 7km down Gladstone Road to Poads Road on left, crossing an old concrete bridge and walking uphill to the car park and information boards. Note - the DOC information board here describes the former 1 Te Araroa route via Waiopehu Hut. The official route now bypasses Waiopehu and goes up Gable End Ridge. From Levin, take transport for 7km to the car park at end of Poads Road.
