Road Projects Approvals - Meeting Standards & Design

Chris McCashin made this Official Information request to Wellington City Council

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Chris McCashin to read recent responses and update the status.

From: Chris McCashin

Dear Wellington City Council,

I am writing to request the following for all of the previous Lets Get Wellington Moving projects which have since been taken in-house - any and all projects including but not limited to

- Thorndon Quay
- Onepu Road
- Adelaide Road
- Berhampore Cycleway
- Island Bay Cycleway
- Recent Karori works

Any and all recent projects whereby cycleways have gone in. I am specifically requesting

- Resource & Building consent applications for cycleway / roading projects
- Resource & Building consent approvals
- Consultation documents including with stakeholders - emergency services etc
- Documentation confirming the developments meet the code of practice for land development including but not limited to - code of practice for land development, road design and construction (to include all vehicle crossings meeting the standards and applications associated amending the vehicle crossings that are impacted)
- Designs (meeting the standards for primary/secondary/arterial roads/principal, widths etc),
- Plantings
- Traffic calming - ie can traffic calming measures being placed on arterial roads, primary roads etc etc - per NZTA standards I didn't think speed humps could be installed on these?
- Visibility requirements / sight lines etc
- Gradients associated with arterial, principal, collector, sub-collector and local roads ensuring these projects comply - are speed humps factored into these gradients?
- Carriageways
- Traffic Islands
- Road amenity and berm construction
- Minimum widths
- Parking
- As-built requirements
- Aesthetics / bollards - could a private developer put plastic bollards all over their roads as part of a new subdivision

Ultimately I want the application and approval documents of all of these projects ensuring they are meeting minimum standards per council guidelines notably Codes of Practice for Land Development 2012 & Road Design and Construction 2012 - application documents for amending road crossings where they have been done.

Where these documents are not available (if that is the case) can you please explain why? Where vehicle crossings, arterial road standards and site lines do not meet the standards can you tell me which ones don't and the reason for this?

Yours faithfully,
Chris

Your request is being considered under the Local Government Official
Information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA).

 

As currently worded, your request would require substantial collation and
assessment of a considerable number of documents from the Council’s
systems. To enable us to provide you with a timely response, and in
accordance with our obligations under section 18(b) of the OIA, we wish to
refine your request. If so, the Council recommends refining your request
to be for a narrower scope of information if possible. Should the request
not be refined, it is likely that the request will be refused pursuant to
section 17(f) of the LGOIMA, as the information requested cannot be made
available without substantial collection or research.

 

As per part three of your request, we would like to propose to refine your
request to be for the following:

 

 1. I want the application and approval documents of all of these projects
(listed below) ensuring they are meeting minimum standards per council
guidelines notably Codes of Practice for Land Development 2012 & Road
Design and Construction 2012 - application documents for amending road
crossings where they have been done:

 a. Thorndon Quay
 b. Onepu Road
 c. Adelaide Road
 d. Berhampore Cycleway
 e. Island Bay Cycleway
 f. Recent Karori works

 

To enable us to meet our obligations under the LGOIMA, we would be
grateful for your response as soon as possible, but by no later than COB
26 August 2024.
