Darby:
That the Infrastructure Committee:
a) request officers to report back on a high level view of
current planned major infrastructure projects for Auckland to ensure optimum

West Link, and to consider the information from the inter disciplinary
working group, and a site inspection
b) support continued investigation of East West Link options,
and support the programme being developed in the context of the
Auckland-Manukau Eastern Transport Initiative (AMETI) and other related
projects including rail
c) note its concern for the potential for some options to adversely
impact on local communities and areas of housing, and requests NZTA and AT to
focus on options that avoid or minimise these impacts
d) note
its expectation that Auckland Transport and NZTA consider the wider outcomes
sought in the Auckland Plan (rather than just transport outcomes) in the
evaluation of options
e) note
its expectation that Auckland Transport and NZTA will engage thoroughly with
the general public prior to a decision on a preferred option
f) note its expectation that the level of investment is commensurate
with the scale of the problem and the net benefits
g) request Auckland Transport to consult with the local communities and stakeholders to find feasible
options to alleviate congestion that does not involve a new motorway.
