Project Process

3

Candidate Early Improvements

• 107 interventions
• Considered to the stage where sufficient willingness and

resource will enable delivery within three years

• Most still require definition, investigation and assessment
• Prioritised into 15 mostly geographic packages
• Identified potential candidates for showcase and trial
• Current estimate of cost is
• $M 40 – 60 capex (including 20 – 30 of cycling)
• $M 10 – 17 opex

Implementation Planning

107 interventions – if delivered under BAU

• WCC – 75
• NZTA – 31
• GWRC – 1

Legal advice confirms that WCC traffic resolution decisions cannot be delegated

• Any changes to parking or traffic restrictions on WCC roads

Therefore the delivery mechanism needs some thinking

5

Prioritisation

• Setting safer speeds first to prioritise safety
• Benefits realisation – seeking biggest benefit returns first
• Only a matter of months between different packages starting,

intention is to deliver as many as possible early in the programme

• Showcase and trial opportunities identified

Prioritisation

Package Description

Liveability Access Multimodal Safety Resilience

Prioritisation - weave these points into a story, it's only a matter of months between them and there's a bold desire to do it all Showcase Trial Setting Safer Speeds Reducing speed limits on selected roads in the CBD and sections of SH1 east of Mt Vic
