DEPUTATION: - Extension of the Rail Services The Chairman invited Mr Fred MacDonald and Mr Colin Pearce to speak to Members. Mr Macdonald (Convenor, Otaki Road Safety Group) expressed a number of concerns about the current availability and affordability of transport services in the Otaki area. He stated that the current services were inadequate and spoke to Members about a number of measures which he believed would enhance the transport services of the greater Region; which included an increased rail services between Waikanae and Palmerston North, and the wider Wellington region. Mr Macdonald invited Councillors to a site visit to Waikanae via the current rail service to be hosted by the Otaki Road Safety Group in order to greater understand the public transport needs of residents.

Mr Colin Pearce (Otaki Community Board Member) emphasised the increased reliance from the Otaki community for public transport. Mr Pearce emphasised that the Otaki Community Board was supportive of the current proposal and was committed to working in collaboration with Horizons Regional Council and Greater Wellington Regional Council in order to improve public transport services and infrastructure.

PUBLIC SPEAKING RIGHTS Cr M Guy (Horizons Regional Council) had requested speaking rights to Item 6 (Adoption of Draft Regional Land Transport Plan).

SUPPLEMENTARY ITEMS There were no supplementary items to be considered.

MEMBERS’ CONFLICTS OF INTEREST There were no conflicts of interest declared.

CONFIRMATION OF MINUTES RT 14-35 Moved Duffy/Ellis That the Committee: confirms the minutes of the Regional Transport Committee meeting held on 2 September 2014 as a correct record, and notes that the recommendations were adopted by the Council on 23 September 2014. CARRIED

Item 6 was deferred until later in the agenda with Mr Guy having requested and been granted, public speaking rights to this item. A presentation relating to Item 11 (New Zealand Transport Agency Regional Director’s Report) was brought forward to the first item for discussion to enable Mrs Stevenson-Wright and Mrs Dowden to return to Wellington for another meeting.

Mr Hammond (New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA)) introduced the item and handed over to Mrs Stevenson-Wright (NZTA) who introduced herself and handed out some information to Members. She discussed the Substance Impairment Driving Programme, a joint education programme in conjunction with the NZ Police and health professionals (GPs and pharmacists), which was to be piloted in Wanganui, and highlighted the key initiatives of a project to develop tools which raised awareness within the community in order to aid in the promotion of reducing the number of drivers driving impaired as a result of prescription medications, and drugs with or without alcohol use. Mrs Dowden (Independent Evaluation Consultant) discussed the results of 2000 New Zealand drivers surveyed as part of the programme which looked at the numbers of road users who were driving impaired as a result of either prescription medications, drug and/or alcohol use. Mrs Dowden stated that the data analysed over the course of the programme found that the impairing use of prescription medication in drivers was significant, especially in conjunction with alcohol use and other factors such as fatigue. Education was seen as a key factor, with an increased need for General Practitioners and pharmacists to better inform patients around the relationship between prescription medication use and driving impairment. Mrs Stevenson-Wright and Mrs Dowden responded to Members‟ questions

ADOPTION OF DRAFT REGIONAL LAND TRANSPORT PLAN Report No 14-249 The purpose of this item was for the Committee to adopt the draft Regional Land Transport Plan (the Plan) for public consultation. Cr Guy referred to the Joint Transport Strategy (JTS) and expressed concern to Members that the implementation of the plan was not a priority. He further expressed that as a Region we needed to be looking forward to the continuity of economic growth, development and prosperity through the increased promotion of an efficient transport network. Cr Guy referred to page 32 of the annex to the Item with regard to the proposed bridge construction. Cr Guy urged Members to focus on streamlining transport needs for the Region through greater momentum of plan implementation. The sentiments of Cr Guy were endorsed by Mayor Watson and Mayor Kouvelis. Mr Wallace (Senior Transport Planner) spoke to the Draft Regional Land Transport Plan and gave a brief synopsis of how the plan took shape, noting that some additional projects were required to be included in the Plan prior to public consultation. Mr Wallace referred to pages 60 and 61 which confirmed the priority of the projects for the Region, and page 53 of the draft Plan which highlighted the inter-regional projects. Mr Hindrup (Manager Transport Services) further discussed that in relation to the JTS, advice received from the NZTA was to put forward the individual projects of the JTS rather than the JTS as a whole. Mr Hindrup stated that this was to ensure there was a greater focus on getting a framework in place which would enable the funding of those projects which were of a strategic priority for the Region in the long-term, such as improved transport growth and spatial planning. In response to confusion expressed around the definition of 50 tonne restrictions, specifications of High Productivity Motor Vehicle (HPMV), and what routes those vehicles could travel on, Mr Walker (Road Transport Association) provided clarification. Deputy Mayor Jefferies highlighted some of the comments made earlier by Cr Guy with regard to the upstream bridge. He highlighted that the NZTA and PNCC already had a commitment to funds within the next 10 years, and reiterated the importance of the strategic inter-regional links for the development of the city as a logistics hub. Mr Lane (PNCC) added that replacement of the Jack‟s Creek Bridge had been approved and would be put out for tender shortly, and he revealed other projects which were to be put forward for funding consideration by PNCC. Cr Guy reiterated to Members that an efficient network within the Region was needed and suggested that this could be provided for with Regional (R) funding. In response to a query around clarification on the levels of (R) funding used for RONS, Chairman Gordon requested that this be included as an item in the next agenda. A further recommendation (d) was included by Mayor Watson with the agreement of Members. RT 14-36 Moved Watson/Kouvelis That the Committee recommends that Council: a. receives the information contained in Report No. 14-249 and Annex. b. adopts the draft Regional Land Transport Plan for consultation. c. Includes the Manawatu Bridge (SH3) Cycle / Walkway project; Manawatu Hill Realignment project (SH2), and the Wanganui River Road to Wanganui Rail Bridge Cycleway in the programme priority list. d. that the Regional Land Transport Plan should acknowledge and reference in the relevant sections the ‘Regional Growth Study’.

Mr Wallace (Senior Transport Planner) introduced the item and handed over to Mr Lane (Palmerston North City Council (PNCC)) who referred to the boundary change and took Members through the Annex, recommending the Palmerston North / Longburn shared path project to Members. Deputy Mayor Jefferies (PNCC) further added that community support existed for the project, with both Cr Keedwell and Mayor Kouvelis having also expressed their support for the project. The Committee approved the variation request, subject to the project being approved by PNCC. Accordingly, recommendation (b) was amended. RT 14-37 Moved Jefferies/Duffy That the Committee recommends that Council: a. receives the information contained in Report No. 14-250 and Annex. b. approves the Regional Land Transport Programme 2012-15 variation request to consider the inclusion of construction of the Palmerston North – Longburn shared path during the 2014-15 financial year, subject to Palmerston North City Council’s approval.
