Appendices A Notice of Motion - Bus Lanes Grafton Bridge ......................................................... 46 Page 6 Transport Committee 5 July 2011 Funding Assistance Rates File No.: CP2011/03989 Executive Summary Item 12 The purpose of this report is to consider New Zealand Transport Agency’s (NZTA) consultation on proposals to alter Funding Assistance Rates (FAR) and to identify points of feedback on these proposals. NZTA is proposing reductions in the percentage that NZTA would fund in relation to specific investment categories within public transport, transport planning and road user safety activity classes. The proposed FAR reductions would enable NZTA to fund more projects but at a lower rate. This report outlines the impact of these proposed changes for Auckland Council’s funding contribution to these transport activities. It estimates that the proposed changes will result in a loss of funding of approximately $14 million per annum, as applied to the 2011/12 budget. This reduction will have to be either recouped by an increase in Auckland Council funding or a reduction in Auckland Transport (AT) services in these activity classes. This report proposes that feedback be provided based around the following key points: • That a special case is made for rail related improvement in the Auckland region and reductions in FAR related to rail are phased in over a longer time period; • That the reductions to the FAR for transport planning activities are phased in over a longer time period and the grant for production and monitoring of the Regional Land Transport Strategy (RLTS) and Regional Land transport Programme (RLTP) is maintained or at least reduced gradually; • That any reductions in FAR for the Road Safety Community Programme are phased in over a 10 year time period; and • That the proposed full review of FAR in 2013 considers the transport priorities in Auckland in accordance with the Auckland Plan. Recommendations a) That the Funding Assistance Rates report be received. b) That the feedback on proposed changes to 2012 National Land Transport Programme co-investment ratios (funding assistance rates) be based on the points in the Decision Making section of this report. Background NZTA is seeking feedback to proposed changes to the FAR that apply to specific investment categories within public transport, transport planning and road user safety activity classes as set out in the Consultation document “Feedback on Proposed Changes to 2012 National Land Transport Programme co-investment ratios (funding assistance rates)” (Attachment A). The Consultation document was released in mid June 2011 and responses need to be submitted by 21 July 2011. NZTA part fund many of the transport activities that are carried by Auckland Transport (AT). The amount of subsidy provided by NZTA varies according to priority that NZTA and the Ministry of Transport gives to a particular activity in accordance with the GPS. The GPS will have three priority focus areas: Funding Assistance Rates Page 7 Transport Committee 5 July 2011 • A strong and continuing focus on economic growth and productivity; • Value for money; and • Road safety. The proposed changes Item 12 The proposed FAR changes will take effect from 1 July 2012. Table 1 below sets out the proposed changes to the FAR. Table 1: Proposed changes to the Financial Assistance Rates to take effect from 1 July 2012 Proposed Work category Current FAR NZTA stated reason for the proposed change FAR Passenger 50% To remove the NLTP investment stimulus given to transport facilities operations and (gradually public transport infrastructure.

  • 65 YEARS of PRESTRESSING CONCRETE in NEW ZEALAND BRIDGES JAMIL KHAN1, GEOFF BROWN2 1Technical Director
    65 YEARS OF PRESTRESSING CONCRETE IN NEW ZEALAND BRIDGES JAMIL KHAN1, GEOFF BROWN2 1Technical Director - Structural Engineering, Beca Ltd, Wellington, New Zealand 2Senior Technical Director - Structural Engineering, Beca Ltd, Wellington, New Zealand SUMMARY Prestressing has played an important role in extending the span capability and economy of concrete bridges. The history of bridge construction in New Zealand has proved that prestressed concrete is an excellent material for constructing bridges and Kiwi engineers made considerable early use of prestressed concrete in bridge construction. Kiwi engineers love new ideas and embrace new technologies. New Zealand bridge engineers, from the early days, were not afraid to take on the challenge of working with new and innovative materials. INTRODUCTION Prestressed Concrete is one of the most cost effective and durable construction materials and can provide many advantages over other materials. Originating in France, prestressing in bridge construction was introduced in early 1950’s. In the United Kingdom, the first major prestressed concrete road bridge was the replacement for Northam Bridge[24], Southampton in 1954. Walnut Lane Bridge in Philadelphia completed in late 1950, is considered the first prestressed concrete bridge in the USA[25]. It is remarkable that New Zealand, as a remote country at the end of the world, made considerable early use of prestressed concrete in bridge construction. IPENZ’s records indicate that in 1954 the Hutt Estuary Bridge[18] used post-tensioned prestressed concrete for the first time in New Zealand. Upper Hutt City Council also claims their Bridge Road Bridge B8/1, built in 1954 over the Akatarawa River, was the first prestressed bridge in New Zealand[17].

  • History of Concrete Bridges in New Zealand
    HISTORY OF CONCRETE BRIDGES IN NEW ZEALAND JAMIL KHAN1, GEOFF BROWN2 1 Senior Associate, Beca Ltd 2 Technical Director, Beca Ltd SUMMARY Concrete is one of the most cost effective, durable and aesthetic construction materials and can provide many advantages over other materials. The history of bridge construction in New Zealand has proved that concrete is an excellent material for constructing bridges, and in particular bridges that use beams, columns and arches as the main load bearing elements. It is remarkable that New Zealand, as a remote country at the end of the Victorian period, made considerable early use of concrete in bridge construction. Kiwi engineers love new ideas and embrace new technologies. New Zealand bridge engineers, from the early days, were not afraid to take on the challenge of working with a new and innovative material. The first reinforced concrete bridge was built over the Waters of Leith in Dunedin in 1903. In 1910 the Grafton Bridge in Auckland became the world’s longest reinforced concrete arch bridge, 21 years later the Kelburn Viaduct was built in Wellington. Taranaki was especially forward-looking in using concrete arch bridges and has many fine examples. In 1954 another major development occurred when the Hutt Estuary Bridge used post-tensioned pre-stressed concrete for the first time in New Zealand. This led to the construction of New Zealand’s first pre-stressed concrete box girder bridge on the Wanganui Motorway in 1962. Pre-stressed concrete made slim and elegant construction possible, like the 1987 Hāpuawhenua Viaduct on the North Island Main Trunk railway line.

As a result, the Northern Motorway Upper Harbour interchange, and the adjacent sections of SH1 and SH18, have been identified as critical sections of Auckland’s motorway network. These sections of State highway currently operate with significant congestion, and this congestion is predicted to worsen following the completion of the Western Ring Route, and as a result of growth in population and employment anticipated for Albany (including the surrounding areas) and areas further north.
