The Strand Optimisation Stormwater Management
L Johnson made this Official Information request to New Zealand Transport Agency
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for L Johnson to read a recent response and update the status.
From: L Johnson
Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,
I am writing to request any information about how flooding risk or stormwater issues were considered in The Strand Optimisation project. Essentially I am interested in knowing whether the project will improve flood resilience, and if not, whether this was considered at any point during the design process but decided against.
The information I seek should include, but not be limited to:
- Any section of the design report relating to stormwater management/flood risk
- Any entries in the design decision register relating to stormwater management/flood risk
- Any meeting minutes for meetings where stormwater management or flood risk was discussed
- The outputs of any stormwater modelling exercises or flood risk assessments, if they were done
- Any discussion of the cost implications of addressing flood risk through the project
- Any communications with Watercare or Auckland Council Healthy Waters department about stormwater management/flood risk within the project's extent
Yours faithfully,
L Johnson
