Yes sort of.  The issue we have is that the NPS-UD refers back to the RLTP.  I want to avoid any
determinative definition in there around words like frequency, reliable etc as they are all
relative.  Fast for the MRT will be different for rail etc.
 
So my approach is to mirror the GPS and NPS-UD definitions, restate the agreed regional growth
framework definition which are the rail lines and LGWM MRT and reference further work.
 
But I need to review and get you the link.
 
Cheers

Hi Grant,
 
thanks for the head up. Yes Andrew sent me something on this today, so I think I’m sufficiently
across it for now.
 
Our key consideration seems to be that the RLTP is not determinative so it really only needs to
signal the concepts, not specify anything that might be problematic for other processes, i.e.
District Plan or consenting.
 
Does this reconcile with your understanding?
 
Cheers, Joe

Joe,
 
Just checking if you have been across the work on defining Rapid Transit for the region.  Andrew
Wharton from WCC has been heavily involved in all of this.  As the definition is going into the
draft RLTP I wanted to make sure you’re across and if not send you all the material.
 
Cheers
