2. This report provides general information about the RLBTTR including: • The Rodney Local Board Transport Targeted Rate is currently scheduled to run for 10 years (2018 – 2028) to accelerate transport investment in the Rodney Local Board area. This funding has been ring-fenced for transport projects which are not included in the Regional Land Transport Plan 2018-2028. The Rodney Local Board Transport Targeted Rate supports and funds new park and ride community hub facilities at Warkworth and Kumeu / Huapai, new footpaths, new bus stops and new bus services. • The Rodney Local Board Transport Targeted Rate has been allocated for the potential projects based on the estimated cost at that time, so that each subdivision within the Rodney Local Board area received a proportion of the benefits of the targeted rate, that equated to the proportion of the revenue collected from that subdivision. • Warkworth and Kumeu sites have been selected for park and ride community hubs and detailed designs are undertaken. Warkworth site is currently close to design completion and will be seeking funding approval for the construction works in the financial year FY2020/21. An overall financial summary is provided in this report.
Ngā tūtohunga Recommendation/s That the Rodney Local Board: a) receive the Auckland Transport update on the Rodney Local Board Transport Targeted Rate - July 2020
Horopaki Context 3. In May 2018, the Rodney Local Board recommended (Resolution number RD/2018/61) that the Governing Body approves a targeted rate to accelerate investment in transport in the Rodney Local Board area. The recommendation was accepted and the Rodney Local Board Transport Targeted Rate (RLBTTR) is currently scheduled to run for 10 years (2018 – 2028). 4. Auckland Council receives the rates payments and Auckland Transport administers the fund on behalf of the Local Board. 5. The RLBTTR is ring-fenced for transport projects in Rodney Local Board area that are not included in the Regional Land Transport Plan 2018-2028. It was established on the basis that the fund is to support: • new bus stops and bus services.

• new park and ride community hub facilities. • new footpaths. 6. The targeted rate must be spent on these items and a material change to spending priorities may require further public consultation. 7. The rate was also established on the principle that each subdivision within the Rodney Local Board area received a proportion of the benefits of the targeted rate that equated to the proportion of the revenue collected from that subdivision. 8. As the project developed and firmer cost estimation prepared, changes were required to the projects proposed within each subdivision to ensure proportionality is maintained. 9. The Rodney Local Board monitors the performance of the projects and determines whether to re-prioritise its expenditure based on the purposes of the fund.
