Subject: Official Information request - Updates on City Centre to Mangere
Light Rail Project and Which End the Project Will Start At

 

Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,

 

I am seeking updates in how City Centre to Mangere Light Rail is
progressing due to lack of information being published by NZTA on said
project.

 

In this case I am looking at the methodology around which end to start
City Centre to Mangere (CC2M) Light Rail (LRT) given decisions would have
great impact on communities of South Auckland (positive and negative)

 

Preamble

On the 27th of November 2018 the Auckland Council Planning Committee was
discussing the CC2M update. It was alluded to by the Chief Strategy
Officer Jim Quinn that NZTA had NOT ruled out starting CC2M from the
Airport end and that CC2M would not start at the Queen Street end until
after 2021 owing to the America's Cup and APEC 21. For video footage of
the meeting where  CC2M was mentioned see
[6]https://scanmail.trustwave.com/?c=2838&a...

For full posting on the matter see:
[7]https://scanmail.trustwave.com/?c=2838&a...

 

Again for clarity:

no decision calls have been made about starting CC2M from the
Mangere/Airport end (just as NZTA keep couching all Airport to Botany
Rapid Transit language as Light Rail) HOWEVER, no work on the Queen Street
end of CC2M will start until after the America’s Cup in 2021.

 

My questions to NZTA are this:

1) Why will CC2M not start at the Queen Street end until after 2021

 

2) What methodology is NZTA using to determine where CC2M starts whether
it be the City Centre end or the Mangere/Airport end

 

3) Has there been cost escalations in the project and if so how much

 

4) Has there been complexities in CC2M not previously seen that are
delaying the project, if so what and how much by

 

5) When can we expect our first sod turned (marking the start of CC2M) for
CC2M

 

I look forward to your reply

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Ben Ross
