Request for Update on GWRC Transport Rates Review Postponement

Tony Randle made this Official Information request to Wellington Regional Council

The request was successful.

From: Tony Randle

Dear Wellington Regional Council,

The GWRC committed to a Review of the Transport Rates as part of the 2015-18 Long Term Plan (See page 17 of the LTP Overview http://www.gw.govt.nz/assets/Plans--Publ...).

However, in November 2015, the GWRC decided to "delay the review of rates funding for public transport until the Local Government Commission has announced their proposals for local governance improvements for the Wellington region" (refer Report 15.511 "Public Transport Rates Funding Review" http://www.gw.govt.nz/assets/council-rep...)

The Public Transport Rates Funding Review report further states that:
"It is therefore recommended that the development of options for funding the rates share of public transport is delayed, with the timeline to be reassessed in mid-2016 once the Local Government Commission has announced their final proposals for local governance improvements."

Can I please have any GWRC reports, meeting notes, correspondence or other information related to the reassessment of the timeline for the review of the Transport Rates as outlined in this report ? In particular, I ask for any information held that the Transport Rates Review will be part of the upcoming Long Term Plan.

If this information is held in electronic form, I would prefer it was provided to me in its complete and original electronic format. I also would prefer for correspondence on this information request be via the FYI web site.

Yours faithfully,

Tony Randle
