AT Local South Auckland

Damian Light made this Official Information request to Auckland Transport

The request was successful.

From: Damian Light

Dear Auckland Transport,

On 22 October 2021, Auckland Transport announced that AT Local was being launched in South Auckland (Conifer Grove, Takaanini, and Papakura).

Given that this is the second iteration of this service, I would like to understand how it was approved, funded and adapted from the previous version.

I formally request the following:

1) Business Case (or any other document) that was approved to begin the trial (and any subsequent updates);

2) Minutes, internal memos and other documents that contain information about the decision making process used to implement this service;

3) Budget for the trial, including what has been spent and forecasts. This should include (but not be limited to) project administration costs, marketing, revenue expectations, capital investment and operational costs.

4) Explanation of the changes from the previous implementation (Devonport);

5) Service review of the 371 bus that has been replaced, including the options considered.

Where ever possible, these should be the original documents - if the answers to the above are contained within documents, I am happy to receive the full document. The business case (or similar document) may contain most of the information requested.

Yours faithfully,

Damian Light
