The Supergold Transport Concession FACT SHEET The SuperGold transport concession - Information for cardholders living outside of Auckland June 2016 What you need to know From 1 July you will need to start using an AT HOP card loaded with your SuperGold concession to continue to travel for free on Auckland public transport. SuperGold cardholders in Auckland are entitled to travel free on local trains, selected buses and ferries after 9am weekdays and all weekend. The Government’s commitment to the SuperGold Card public transport concession has not changed. Following the review of free public transport use by SuperGold cardholders in 2015, the most important thing to know is from 1 July you can still travel free just as you do now. The only difference is that Auckland Transport (AT) is transitioning the free public transport concession in Auckland to the AT HOP card from 1 July. These changes mean if you are travelling to Auckland after 1 July and wish to access the free public transport in Auckland, you will need to buy an AT HOP card and have your SuperGold Card concession details loaded onto it. What you need to know about the changes in Auckland · From 1 July 2016, you’ll need an AT HOP card to use free public transport in Auckland. · With your AT HOP card, you’ll enjoy exactly the same free travel as you do now. · Auckland Transport has advised that the AT HOP card cost of $10 applies and a $5 credit must be loaded onto the card at the same time – for a total one-off cost of $15. · Gold AT HOP cards are only available to buy at AT Customer Service Centres (list below), ticket offices or AT HOP retailers · If you live outside of Auckland and wish to purchase an AT HOP card before you arrive in Auckland, you can purchase a blue AT HOP card, register it online and later swap it for a free gold AT HOP card when you are in Auckland. · Please note however that you will not be able to load your SuperGold concession onto the blue AT HOP card online. However, registering it in advance of your arrival in Auckland will save you time when you later swap it for a free gold AT HOP card when you visit an Auckland Transport Customer Service Centre (with your SuperGold card and photo ID eg passport, driver licence or SuperGold card with photo included). · Alternatively you could wait until you are in Auckland and visit an Auckland Transport Customer Service Centre (with your SuperGold card and photo ID) and purchase a gold AT HOP card and get it registered and the SuperGold concession loaded all at the same time. Because of the number of customers visiting Auckland Transport Customer Service Centres wait times are expected to be much longer than normal in the first month or so. · If you already have a registered blue AT HOP card with your SuperGold concession loaded, you can then get this card swapped over at no cost to you for a gold one at an Auckland Transport Customer Service Centre when you arrive in Auckland. · To get an AT HOP card and for more information from Auckland Transport about what’s happening: o go to www.at.govt.nz/supergold o call Auckland Transport on 0800 AT GOLD (0800 28 4653).

  • The Demographic Transformation of Inner City Auckland
    New Zealand Population Review, 35:55-74. Copyright © 2009 Population Association of New Zealand The Demographic Transformation of Inner City Auckland WARDLOW FRIESEN * Abstract The inner city of Auckland, comprising the inner suburbs and the Central Business District (CBD) has undergone a process of reurbanisation in recent years. Following suburbanisation, redevelopment and motorway construction after World War II, the population of the inner city declined significantly. From the 1970s onwards some inner city suburbs started to become gentrified and while this did not result in much population increase, it did change the characteristics of inner city populations. However, global and local forces converged in the 1990s to trigger a rapid repopulation of the CBD through the development of apartments, resulting in a great increase in population numbers and in new populations of local and international students as well as central city workers and others. he transformation of Central Auckland since the mid-twentieth century has taken a number of forms. The suburbs encircling the TCentral Business District (CBD) have seen overall population decline resulting from suburbanisation, as well as changing demographic and ethnic characteristics resulting from a range of factors, and some areas have been transformed into desirable, even elite, neighbourhoods. Towards the end of the twentieth century and into the twenty first century, a related but distinctive transformation has taken place in the CBD, with the rapid construction of commercial and residential buildings and a residential population growth rate of 1000 percent over a fifteen year period. While there are a number of local government and real estate reports on this phenomenon, there has been relatively little academic attention to its nature * School of Environment, The University of Auckland.

  • City Fringe Retail Assessment
    Auckland City Fringe Retail Assessment Prepared for: Waitematā Local Board 30th June, 2016 9/27/2016 1 INTRODUCTION While the Auckland CBD is a popular retail, hospitality, and tourism destination, there are also several strong offerings in the ‘City Fringe’ – the business districts directly neighbouring the CBD. These districts are namely Karangahape Road, Newmarket, Parnell, Ponsonby, and Uptown. With their proximity to the CBD, the City Fringe districts are ideally situated to interact with a large segment of Auckland’s population, and leverage the strong retail trends seen lately in Auckland City. The Waitematā Local Board has commissioned Marketview to assist in developing programmes that will attract retailers and customers to invest in the City Fringe. The purpose of this report is to identify market trends and behaviours in the City Fringe, compare these trends to those observed in the rest of Auckland and NZ to identify any gaps, examine the core customers of the City Fringe and their shopping habits, and identify the potential opportunities for the City Fringe. To analysis is broken into three parts, respectively aiming to identify: • What are the gaps in the City Fringe offering? • Who are the customers of the City Fringe? • What are the opportunities for the City Fringe? DISCLAIMER While every effort has been made in the production of this report, the Bank of New Zealand, Paymark and Marketview Limited are not responsible for the results of any actions taken on the basis of the information in this report and expressly disclaim any liability to any person for anything done or omitted to be done by any such person in reliance on the contents of this report and any losses suffered by any person whether direct or indirect, including loss of profits.

  • Learnings from a Programme Business Case Transport Networks for Growth Programme
    Learnings from a Programme Business Case Transport Networks for Growth Programme 24 February 2017 Gavin Smith, BCom, MEngSt, CPEng, MIPENZ Principal Transport Planner – Strategic Growth Initiatives Auckland Transport [email protected] Craig Mitchell, BE(Hons), IntPE(NZ), CPEng, MIPENZ Principal Transport Planner – Highways and Network Operations NZ Transport Agency [email protected] Abstract Auckland is expected to grow by up to 1 million people by 20431. It is anticipated that 60-70% of this growth will occur within existing urban areas, with the remainder in future growth areas. Approximately 15,000 hectares of future growth is land that has been identified in the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan (Operative in part) to accommodate this. The Business Case approach was used to investigate a future transport network in Auckland’s future growth areas, and deliver the planning and investment outcomes needed. By tailoring the Business Case approach the process ensured that a consistent regional approach was applied at a local level and provided enough detail and flexibility to respond to immediate and on-going development pressures within each growth area. 1 Statistics NZ high growth projections, 2013 Learnings from a Programme Business Case G.Smith, C.Mitchell Page 1 Background The Transport Networks for Growth project (previously known as Transport for Future Urban Growth) was completed in an eight month period in 2016 and is the largest and most complex Programme Business Case completed in New Zealand. The Programme Business Case identified a $7.6 billion regional programme (the Programme) covering four geographical areas (Warkworth, North, North West, South) comprising some 15,000 hectares of future growth areas land.

  • Discovering the Hindrance of Walking and Cycling in Auckland’S Urban Form
    DISCOVERING THE HINDRANCE OF WALKING AND CYCLING IN AUCKLAND’S URBAN FORM. MEYER NEESON A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Urban Design at the University of Auckland, 2020. Abstract Active transport is a fundamental element in a city’s movement network that promotes a sustainable and resilient urban future, yet can only be viable in an urban setting that supports small-scale infrastructure with appropriate street environments. The 1950’s planning regimes have been dominant within Auckland’s transport development with perpetuated traditional aims of increased efficiency and high level infrastructure which enables travel in the comfort of a private vehicle. Attitudes have formulated the urban fabric through funding and investment intervention which resulted in a strong motorway network and low density, sprawling residential suburbs. Psychological public response to this environment is reflected in the heavy reliance on the private vehicle and low rates of walking and cycling. Although Auckland’s transport framework identifies the need for walking and cycling to actively form a strand of Auckland’s transport network, institutional and intellectual embedded ideas of the 1950’s prevent implementation on the ground. The failure of Auckland’s urban form was highlighted in the period of the Covid-19; post lockdown the public reverted back to old transport habits when restrictions were lifted. This pandemic put our city in the spotlight to identify its shortfalls and the urgent need to support a resilient future. Therefore, this research aims to discover the inherent infrastructure and funding barriers that hinder the growth of walking and cycling as a transport method in Auckland.

    PORTS OF AUCKLAND Submission on International Freight Services For more information: Tony Gibson, Chief Executive [email protected] 09 348 5284 Catherine Etheredge, Senior Manager Communications [email protected] 09 348 5255 0274 777 501 2 Introduction 1. Ports of Auckland (POAL) is pleased to have the opportunity to provide a submission to the New Zealand Productivity Commission‟s inquiry into international freight transport services. 2. This submission complements, and provides additional information to, views presented in a separate submission prepared on behalf of all New Zealand port companies. 3. New Zealand is a unique economy, geographically distant from world markets. We are one of the world‟s most active trading nations with import-export trade representing around 70% of GDP. Our primary production sector, for example, which is highly reliant on an efficient and cost effective supply chain, contributes around 65% of New Zealand‟s total exports. 4. New Zealand is also a small player in global trade terms, representing 0.39% of world container port traffic. 5. A coordinated, end-to-end approach to understanding supply chain logistics and productivity, with increased alignment and co-operation between all phases/links in the chain, has the potential to improve New Zealand‟s economic performance. 6. This is easier said than done. New Zealand suffers from an „information deficit‟ about its supply chain operations (to give just one example, little is known about who in the supply chain is making decisions about which port is used and what mode of overland transport is deployed). While importers and exporters, transport operators and ports each have their own insights, there is an opportunity to assemble and review the various sources of information to inform a strategic long-term approach to improving productivity.
