  • Business Unit Report Template
    Board Meeting | 05 December 2017 Agenda Item no.10. Open Session Business Report Recommendation: That the Chief Executive’s report be received. Prepared by: David Warburton, Chief Executive Farewell and Acknowledgements As this is the last Board meeting in my tenure as Chief Executive, I wish to take the opportunity to make some passing comments and acknowledgements. It is not possible, nor appropriate, to name individuals who have contributed so much to the organisation, and Auckland as a whole over the past seven years. Suffice to say the staff of this organisation, past and present, can be justifiably proud of where we have come from and what we have achieved. Those who were not here when the organisation first came into being on 1 November 2010 will find it hard to imagine what things were like – over the space of 12 months the Auckland Local Government Reforms delivered the largest restructure in Australasian corporate history. Eight organisations – each with their own distinct policies, procedures and cultures were brought together against a backdrop of community and political distrust of the “super city” and the effect on staff morale cannot be underestimated. In responding to the Chairman’s question on the induction programme for the new Chief Executive, there was no precedent. In my case there was no organisation to be inducted into. At that time people asked me what my biggest worries were: the first was that our staff would be paid correctly and secondly our suppliers. Everybody worked incredibly hard just to ensure the basics were done and the organisation didn’t fall apart.

It also includes 1 widening of SH1 between Mt Wellington Interchange and the Princes Street Interchange with a new lane in each direction, (refer attached sketch). 1 • To put the location in context • Geographically, the Project is located at the narrowest isthmus of New Zealand, and approximately in the centre of the Auckland urban area. • It is bound on the west by the Manukau Harbour and the east by the Tāmaki River. • The geography of the area has shaped land use, economic activity and the movement/transmission of goods and utilities through this area over time. • Just like in pre European times. It is a key industrial, transport and 2 logistics hub • The GDP and jobs generated by the area are significant and in 2012, the direct Project area accounted for approximately $4.7 billion of output, or 7.5% of Auckland’s total GDP. • The area also represents a significant proportion of the city’s employment and it is one of Auckland’s principal manufacturing locations, accounting for 17.9% Auckland’s, and 5.9% of New Zealand’s manufacturing jobs.

  • Cycling Programme Business Case
    Board Meeting| 01 August 2017 Agenda item no. 11.4 Closed Session CONFIDENTIAL Cycling Programme Business Case Recommendation That the Board: i. Endorse the recommended strategic direction for future investment in cycling in Auckland, the funding of which will be subject to prioritisation through the Integrated Transport Programme (ITP). Executive summary 1 There is a significant opportunity for cycling to play a more substantial role in contributing to a more effective transport system for Auckland. During the programme period, transport demands will continue to grow strongly alongside population and employment across the region, placing increasing pressure on congested networks and, in particular, on access to the city centre. 2 We analysed a range of options to identify which package would most effectively deliver the benefits and objectives of the programme, carried out economic modelling and conducted extensive engagement to arrive at a preferred programme of investment. 3 This programme business case recommends an investment of $635m in cycling over the period 2018-2028 to most effectively meet the objectives of the programme. This would provide benefits of $1.9 to $4.6 for every $1 invested, and would deliver 150km of new cycleways linking to key activity centres and maximising access to public transport. The investment would see an increase in modal share of trips to work for cycling from 1 per cent to 4 per cent across the Auckland region. Previous deliberations 4 This item was considered by the Customer Focus Committee on 10 July 2017 and feedback has been incorporated into this report. The updated presentation is attached to this report.
