Notice of motion - Golden Mile to be part of an Integrated Plan (Signed).pdf
Hi Erin
Following last Thursday’s WCC Transport Briefing, a number of councillors expressed concern
that:
ACT 1987
After seven years, LGWM never developed an integrated transport plan that the city can
use. Council officers are now working on such a plan.
The Council plans to proceed with constructing the Golden Mile without completing any
work on who it will integrate with other plans for bus lanes and cycleways.
As a result, seven Councillors have now signed a Notice of Motion to ask the Council to progress
AND MEETINGS
the Golden Mile Project as part of an integrated plan. A copy of the signed Notice of Motion is
attached.
Cheers

Since the 2020/21 financial year, our organisation has grown from 240 to 387 FTEs (as at 31 March
2024) to deliver on the work our councils have funded us to do.  Between the 2020/21 and 2022/23
financial years our capital delivery work doubled and continues to grow. The aging infrastructure in
the region has also meant we have seen a steady increase of service interruptions and outages over
the past few years and an ongoing backlog of work. All of which requires us to communicate and
engage with the public and our councils so they better understand the work we are delivering for
them.

The Communications and Engagement Team manage Wellington Water’s external channels –
website and social media channels – and respond to a wide range of enquiries from the media and  ACT
the public. These requests have also increased in volume due to increased attention and interest in

From time to time contractors and external agencies are used to support the team when there are

memo showing the must do work etc. WCC did not ask for this information so did not get the same information.

Thorndon Quay until the state of the pipes can be checked. If not that, she is asking for an urgent report from ACT

Appendix
Request 1

The draft memo was received by LGWM. It is therefore a communication and is covered by the OIA.
The fact that it has “draft” written on it does not exempt it from the provisions of the OIA. Do you
accept that WW has breached the Act by attempting (albeit unsuccessfully) to withhold it on the
1987
basis that it is “out of scope”? – Yes or No?. If yes, what are you going to do about it?
ACT
Response:

When a request for information is made, our starting point is that we make the information available
unless there is good reason to withhold it (based on what’s set out in the Act). Reasons to withhold
information under the Act include things like free and frank advice, confidentiality, legal privilege,
MEETINGS
and to protect privacy. WWL’s interpretation of the Act is that some documents that are in draft and
AND
not finalised can be withheld on the grounds of free and frank advice.
This document was meant to be withheld because it was a draft document which had not been
finalised. The reason why this was not finalised is that it was contingent on a particular part of the
Let’s Get Wellington Moving Programme progressing, which it has not.
INFORMATION
When we balanced whether or not this was in the public’s interest to disclose this information to
you, we decided that this didn’t meet the public interest test. This is because the advice and
assessment in the memo were developed in 2022 (two years ago) and the figures are out of date and
would need further assessment and updating.  OFFICIAL
However, now that you have received the redacted memo and there has been media interest on this
matter, we have taken the decision to proactively publish your received LGOIMA response (ref OIA
IRO-616) on our website: https://www.wel ingtonwater.co.nz/about-us/official-requests/official-
information-act-responses/  GOVERNMENT
Request 2
There have clearly been meetings
LOCAL  / decisions made fol owing the date of the draft memo. Where are
the records of those decisions?
THE
Response:
The draft memo
UNDER   was sent to Let’s Get Wellington Moving (LGWM) and their consultant engineers.
We have conducted an electronic search of email records of the named people in the memo. There
were no records found. WWL can confirm that there were no fol ow-up meetings, communications
and discussions between WWL and LGWM in regards the Thorndon Quay work following the memo.
RELEASED

Request 3
This request relates to questions sent prior to this request to Nick Leggett, Chair of the Board of
WWL.
Hi Nick
I am forwarding you an email trail (sent in error) by your officers to Tom Hunt from Stuff.
I am concerned that my requests to WCC and WW for information concerning the condition of water
1987
infrastructure along Thorndon have been responded to with less than the utmost probity. Certainly,
the email trail below indicates a serious breach of the OI Act.
ACT
1.  WCC:-Following my OIA request WCC (and LGWM) have advised   that WCC hold no condition
reports or correspondence relating to Thorndon Quay water infrastructure. . At a meeting at
WCC last Thursday, an officer confirmed that his name was one of those redacted in the
attached document. Clearly WCC have misinformed me. I cannot believe that they would not
have information on the condition of these pipes prior to committing to a $60m roading
MEETINGS
contract.
2.  WW- The email trail below speaks for itself. How on earth could the attached do
AND  cument be
regarded as “out of scope”? What other potentially useful information has been excluded
because it is “out of scope”?. There must be a communication trail that fol ows this draft
memo. If not, why not?

Response:
INFORMATION
The answer to the above question is encompassed by the response to request 2.

Request 4

OFFICIAL
Would you please ask your CEO and her team to provide you  “chapter and verse” information
on all internal communications, communications with WCC and external advisors relating to
this issue. I want to know if there will be any need, recommendation, or plan to replace or do
major repairs to any pipework along Thorndon Quay within, say, the next 10 years. As the
information you provide will be business related, there should not be any need to redact any
names – there is no personal privacy interest.
GOVERNMENT
Response:
WWL has undertaken an electronic search of its internal communications, communications with
LOCAL
Wellington City Council (“WCC”) and external advisors regarding the pipework along Thorndon Quay.
The result of the sear
THE ch reveals a significant amount of responses over 7,000 in number. This does
not include email and documents. This is significant amount of information and would require a
large amount of people resource and time to undertake a comprehensive review. Section 17(f) of
the LGOIMA allo
UNDER  ws for a request to be refused under substantial col ation and research.  One option
is to narrow the scope of your request, so a more targeted response could be undertaken. We have
already contacted you to do this.

RELEASED

Request 5
Why are there no plans to replace these pipes? We all know these pipes are shot, as the photos
attest. (The December 8th explosion wasn’t even recorded on your incident register that you
released).  I have talked to Downer’s site foreman yesterday and asked him what they had found
from the excavations they had carried out in the current segment of work. His reply was that
from what they had seen the pipes looked to be in poor condition. Are you telling us that we
have to put up with another 10 years of leaks?
1987
Response:
ACT
The sections of pipe along Thorndon Quay have been identified as being in poor condition based on
a preliminary assessment and have been tagged as assets that need further, more detailed
investigation. Further investigation, such as a physical inspection of the pipe, would provide a
fulsome picture of the state of the pipe and potential work needed.
MEETINGS
While this work is important, it is not unique. WCC are dealing with a significant backlog of pipes in
AND
the city that are in need of renewing (replacing). WWL looks after around 2,700km of pipe assets on
behalf of WCC.
Many of which are also in poor condition and need renewing. Currently, WCC has a backlog of
406km of pipe that need to be renewed. Every year the network ages and more pipes come closer to
the end of the operational lives, meaning the backlog of work wil  continue to gr
INFORMATION ow. This is a
significant amount of work, and we recognise WCC needs to balance this with a wide range of other
priorities across the city.
In the current draft Long-Term Plan (2024-34), WCC is propos
OFFICIAL ing to invest in renewing approximately
330kms of pipe over a 10-year period. We estimate that by the end of the 10-year period, the
backlog of pipes that need to be renewed wil  have grown to around 560kms.
To prioritise this work, we must focus on the most critical assets first (these are ones that if they
break or fail would result in significant and widespread impact to the public / community). As part of
GOVERNMENT
our work to support WCC’s Long-Term Plan, we reviewed al  the work that needs to be done across
the city. When compared to other more critical assets or assets that are in need of urgent work, no
renewals in the Thorndon Quay and Hutt Road area were identified as in need of prioritisation for
LOCAL
the current draft Long-Term Plan.
THE
This means that pipes along Thorndon Quay, like many others across the city, wil  need to be
programmed in at a later date for further investigation when funding and resources al ow. We
continue to mon
UNDER  itor the condition of pipes and assets across the city as part of our ongoing
programme of condition assessments. We also formally review the city’s water asset renewals
programme every three years as part of each Long-Term Plan period. We’ll use this information and
evidence as a basis for our advice to WCC who set our budgets and decide what work they can fund.
RELEASED

Request 6
I cannot understand how the recommendations contained in the draft memo (which seem to be
consistent with my layman’s reading of the actual condition reports) could transform from
“must do” or “should do” to – “ we have no plans to do anything in the next 10 years” – It does
not make sense. It does not reconcile with the knowledge and experience that local property
owners have of the condition of this network. It does not reconcile with the December 8th
explosion that destroyed a car (see attached photo). It does not reconcile with todays all too
familiar leak (see attached photo).
1987
Response:
ACT
Please refer to the answer above.
Request 7
MEETINGS
I want to know if there wil  be any need, recommendation, or plan to replace or do major repairs to

Response:
There are no plans to renew the pipework along Thorndon Quay in the next 10 years based on
WCC’s draft 2024-34 Long Term Plan. However, it is not possible to predict if repairs will be required
due to breakages etc.

Hi Tom

1) I will repeat what I have said multiple times across the Council Table. This Council still has not
made even one hard decision to postpone its ever increasing expenditure on Green Agenda
1987
initiatives in order to focus on our broken infrastructure and fix the pipes. It continues to
ACT
prioritise spending on non-essential Green stuff like more cycleways over the critical and
essential spending needed to fix our city.

Hi Tom
RE Karl's call to end the GM.
This council is determined to build this out-of-date design when it literally doesn't know

where future busses and cycleways will go.

This is why I am moving a Notice of Motion to postpone building the GM until the council

Hi Tom

No, I was not aware that KPMG was never asked to look at the effect of a no sale. (a few
negatives in the question )
1987

ACT
That said, the KPMG analysis was a factor in my decisions on both the LTP and the sale of Airport
Shares in that it highlighted the dire state of this councils finances. My view is this council has a
spending problem, not a revenue or asset management problem.

Also I see they will be signalised, so 6 signal controlled crossings on less than 2km of

would be difficult to provide given it’s all under one budget. Assuming extra cabling,

Hi Julie

Thanks for contacting me.

ACT
I welcome the approval of this new housing development in Grenada North. I believe the
developer, Carrus, has a good reputation and has been transparent in outlining their plans for
this site.

MEETINGS
This is a good site, sunny, sheltered, and handy to the train. Hopefully, they will include a site for
a local shop in this growing suburb.

I also hope and expect the resource consent conditions support improving the road links and to
ensure the development does not increase stormwater runoff which is a problem along the
Tawa Stream catchment.

I welcome more housing to Wellington.

Hi Tom

Thank you for sharing this very interesting report about Auckland’s traffic management and
excessive use of road cones.

As a Wellington City councillor, I see and am told of excessive traffic management on a regular
basis such as work on dead end residential roads. I am sure Wellington City has the same
problem of traffic management always being used irrespective of whether there is a significant
safety risk. As with everything the council does, the traffic safety measures included our work on
roads should be aligned to the real safety risks, but it seems Wellington also adds traffic control

to everything on or near a road.

Hi all,
Attached is an EY report on traffic management in Auckland, but many of the findings
RELEASED
appear to be NZ-wide:
* The current system is "defined by risk aversion",
* there is little consideration on the impacts on businesses and homes,
* TTM contractors have little incentive to work cheaper and faster,
* There is a TTM "overkill" across NZ
