Botany to Airport Mass Rapid Transit Delivery per ATAP (from NZTA)

Ben Ross made this Official Information request to New Zealand Transport Agency

The request was successful.

From: Ben Ross

Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,

Please note: I have asked this of Auckland Transport but in light of new information from an OIA to you (re: https://fyi.org.nz/request/7703-report-a... ) especially around this from the CEO Report Dated March 2018 - Slide 8 I am sending the same OIA to you (with editing for relevance to respective agency):

"As indicated earlier, the Minister of Transport, after consultation with colleagues, has decided to progress the City to Airport (now City to Mangere) light rail link And Airport to Puhinui Station frequent bus connection as immediate high priorities to be funded primarily from the National Land Transport Fund with some potential funding from Auckland Council. Value Capture opportunities will also be explored as well as contributions from Auckland Airport."

Also please note this OIA serves as an extension to question 6 to my current pending OIA with you https://fyi.org.nz/request/8089-sh20-and...

With the ATAP live and the GPS 2018 soon to be operative one of the major projects of said ATAP was Botany to Airport Mass Rapid Transit - to be delivered over Decades 1 and 2.

My questions on the MRT scheme are the following

1) What exactly is the project delivery of the Manukau to Airport via Puhinui Station section of the Botany to Airport MRT line. That is what does the budget allocations and works entail (what do we get)?

2) When are the works likely to start for the Manukau to Airport section of the Botany to Airport MRT line

3)Will the entire Botany to Airport MRT line be future proofed for Light Rail?

4) What walking and cycling improvements will be done along the entire Manukau to Airport section of the Botany to Airport MRT line especially along the length of SH20B

5) What is the forecast start date for the Manukau to Botany section of the Botany to Airport MRT

6) What steps is NZTA taking with other partners including Auckland Transport, Auckland Council and Panuku Development Auckland to enable full integrated land use/transport planning
(noting this from the NZTA CEO Report - February 2018 (Slide 5: The City – Airport light rail project will be: an integrated transport urban development project)

- that is Transit Orientated Developments around the Botany to Airport MRT line given these opportunities were missed with Manukau Bus Station (delivered by AT but part funded by NZTA), and is expected as a matter of policy in the Auckland Plan 2050, and the GPS 2018

7) Will NZTA be engaging with the community and stakeholders to help deliver TODs as mentioned in question six above?

Looking forward to your reply

Ben Ross
