  • Planning Evidence, Karen Bell
    UNDER the Resource Management Act 1991 ("RMA") AND IN THE MATTER of a notice of requirement ("NoR") for a designation by KiwiRail Holdings Limited ("KiwiRail") for the Palmerston North Regional Freight Hub ("Freight Hub") under section 168 of the RMA STATEMENT OF EVIDENCE OF KAREN BELL ON BEHALF OF KIWIRAIL HOLDINGS LIMITED PLANNING 1. SUMMARY 1.1 KiwiRail has lodged a NoR to designate approximately 177 ha of land for a Regional Freight Hub in Palmerston North. The designation will provide for the construction and operation of the Freight Hub on the North Island Main Trunk Link ("NIMT"). In selecting the preferred location for the Freight Hub, I consider that KiwiRail has undertaken a robust assessment of alternatives. 1.2 The Freight Hub will result in significant positive effects, including reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by enabling freight transport by rail, national, regional and local economic benefits from both the construction and operation of the Freight Hub, as well as landscape and visual amenity benefits from landscape planting. These benefits will help to support Palmerston North's growing role as a key logistics and distribution hub for the North Island, building upon the services already provided for at the existing rail yard on Tremaine Avenue ("Existing Freight Yard"). 1.3 The scale and complexity of a project like this means there will be a range of adverse effects as a result of the construction and operation of the Freight Hub. However, I consider that with the range of mitigation measures and the management tools (including the future Outline Plan of Works phase) incorporated into the design of the Freight Hub and the Proposed Conditions, these effects can be avoided, remedied or mitigated.

  • Australasian Railway Association Skills Capabilty Study
    AUSTRALASIAN RAILWAY ASSOCIATION SKILLS CAPABILTY STUDY SKILLS CRISIS: A CALL TO ACTION NOVEMBER 2018 FOREWORD We are living through a renaissance of investment in rail. Projects such as Cross River Rail in Brisbane, Inland Rail, Sydney and Melbourne Metros, the Level Crossing Replacement Program, the Metronet project in Perth, rail extensions in South Australia, expansion of rail lines in the Pilbara, and numerous light rail projects in cities across the country, are heralding this renaissance. New Zealand too, is experiencing a deepening focus on rail. But this hasn’t always been the case. Rail investment stagnation, stop-start funding cycles and short term cost cutting have been a feature of the Australian rail sector since the 1980s. And one of the consequences has been the collapse in investment in training and skills development of the people to build our infrastructure and to operate and maintain first class rail services. This is a clear case of market failure. ARA commissioned this Report to undertake a workforce capability analysis based on planned and forecast rail infrastructure development in Australia and New Zealand over the next 10 years, with implications for a range of rail industry skills across construction, manufacturing, operations and maintenance. And to determine strategies to address them. The term supply and demand is well understood in the marketplace. However, as to rail skills in the current investment environment, it is a case of ‘demand and no supply.’ This is the crisis that this Report seeks to address. We welcome the massive investment in all aspects of rail now underway. This is crucial for our economic growth and improving amenity in our cities and regions.

    9 September 2020 Fiona Sprott Team Leader – Central South Plans and Places Auckland Council Private Bag 92300 Victoria Street West Auckland 1142 Dear Fiona, Decision under Section 172(1) of the Resource Management Act 1991 for the Notice of Requirement for alterations to City Rail Link Limited Designation 2500-1 (Condition 63) in the Auckland Unitary Plan (Operative in Part) – Operational Rail Vibration Auckland Council released the Independent Commissioner’s recommendation on the Notice of Requirement (NoR) for alterations to City Rail Link (CRL) Designation 2500-1 in the Auckland Unitary Plan (Operative in Part) on 6 August 2020. The Commissioner’s recommendation is that the NoR be confirmed, but modified in part in relation to proposed conditions. City Rail Link Limited (CRLL) generally accepts the Commissioner’s recommendation, but rejects part of the recommended modifications to Condition 63.2. Please therefore be advised that, in accordance with section 172(1) of the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA), CRLL accepts (in part) and rejects (in part) the recommendation of the Independent Commissioner dated 31 July 2020. The rejection (in part) relates only to the recommended inclusion of a new Condition 63.2(b), worded as follows: “63.2(b) For any noise or vibration sensitive receiver in the Commercial Bay office tower that is not provided for in the table above, the upper limit for vibration and reradiated noise shall not exceed a RMS level (1s, maximum) of 0.21 mm/s and 50 dB LASmax respectively.” CRLL confirms it accepts the recommended amended designation conditions as set out in Appendices 1 and 2 of the Commissioner’s recommendation, other than recommended Condition 63.2(b).

Executive summary Strategic Context Auckland Transport (AT) has made significant progress in recent years, with major improvements in the public transport system, strong patronage growth, increasing customer satisfaction ratings, commencement of the City Rail Link and investment in active modes of transport, particularly cycling facilities. However, despite this progress, these achievements are quickly becoming neutralised by Auckland’s rapidly increasing population and the emerging impacts of an historical infrastructure deficit. Unprecedented growth in Auckland’s population is driving a significant increase in the demand for travel, putting severe pressure on the transport network and causing sustained levels of high congestion on the arterial network, although this has eased to an extent by the opening of the Waterview Tunnel. In the past quarter, AT has begun preparing the next suite of ten year planning documents (Long Term Plan, Regional Land Transport Plan and the Regional Public Transport Programme). These plans will need innovative and customer focused solutions on a tight budget. At the same time, AT has continued solid delivery of core business.
