complexity of your request.

at Hamilton City Council's discretion and in alignment with our [2]LGOIMA
Charging Policy.

If there is a charge to be applied, Hamilton City Council will notify you

Pro-active release of information
One of the key purposes of LGOIMA is to make information more freely
available, which promotes good government and trust and confidence in
public services. Proactively releasing completed OIA requests that may be
of interest to the wider public can help reduce the need for individuals
to make requests for information and it can reduce the work for Council in
responding to requests. Before publishing information personal and other
identifying details are redacted. Generally, where a request relates to a
narrow topic, these requests won't be published. You can search previous
published OIA responses [4]here.

COVID-19
There may be delays to OIA responses due to COVID-19 and other seasonal
illness impacting staff capacity both in the OIA team and across our
business. While we will aim to meet out statutory timeframes, a response
to your request may take longer than expected, or the timeframe for
responding to your request may be extended under LGOIMA.

Ombudsman
If you are unhappy with our response or our management of your information
request, you have the right to complain to the Office of the Ombudsman.
The Chief Ombudsman recommends contacting us in the first instance to see

Kia ora,

 

We refer to your information request below. Hamilton City Council provides
the following response.

 

Your request:

 

I'd like to know the total cost of the Te Wetini road extension in
Rotokauri and the expected annual maintenance costs.

 

Our response:

 

The Te Wetini Drive Extension project was constructed and managed by a
developer and their contractors under a Private Developer Agreement (PDA)
with Council. The role of Council in this PDA was as a financial
contributor for upsizing costs associated with what Council wanted beyond
what the developer was obliged to deliver.  

 

A key upsizing cost was the early installation of future stormwater assets
by constructing a deep culvert under Te Wetini Drive in anticipation of
the future Rotokauri Greenway, which removes the need for digging up the
road again. Other future proofing included land purchase for reserve land
and upsizing of signal intersections, Taiatea Drive extension and
intersection connection, reserve land costs and installing wastewater
pipes. 

 

+---------------------------------------------+
|Total Project |Value  |Description  |
|Cost Breakdown | | |
|---------------+---------------+-------------|
|Developer Share|$10,247,041.15 |As advised by|
|of contract  | |Developer    |
| | |             |
|---------------+---------------+-------------|
|Council Share | $4,000,000.05|What Council |
|of contract  |   |paid towards |
| | |the total |
| | |contract   |
|---------------+---------------+-------------|
|Professional | $401,885.41 |Costs in |
|Services  | |addition to |
| | |the contract |
| | |works  |
|---------------+---------------+-------------|
|Total Cost of |$14,648,926.61 |Total project|
|project        | |costs paid by|
|  | |the developer|
| | |and Council  |
+---------------------------------------------+

 

The maintenance costs will be for sump cleaning, litter collection,
sweeping and landscaping of approximately $30,000 per year. 

 

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
