Light rail cost over runs

Andrew Riddell made this Official Information request to Associate Minister of Transport

The request was partially successful.

From: Andrew Riddell

Dear Associate Minister of Transport,

In answering a question from Phil Twyford yesterday you made the claim that the overseas experience is that light rail projects can have significant cost overruns.

Please provide the reports, advice or other information from the Minstry of Trasnport or other public officials you are relying on in making that assertion.

I am a New Zealand citizen, resident in the country (and still waiting for ten double laned bridges).

Kia ora,

Andrew Riddell

On behalf of Hon Craig Foss, thank you for your e-mail.

 

While the Minister considers all correspondence to be important and all
messages are carefully read and considered, it is not possible to provide
a personal response to every e-mail which is received.

 

Where the Minister has portfolio or MP for Tukituki responsibility for the
issues that you have raised, your correspondence will be considered and
responded to where appropriate.

 

If you are inviting the Minister to attend an event you are organising,
our office will be in touch shortly.

 

Kind regards
