NZTA Funding allocation to Whau Local Board
4. The Waterview
Connection completes a motorway ring route linking State Highway 20 with State
Highway 16. The new portion of the motorway is 4.8km long and includes a 2.5
km length of tunnel. The project also includes widening of existing parts of
SH 16 and upgrades two existing interchanges. The construction work started in
2012 and is expected to be completed in 2017.
5. The
decision-making for the Waterview Connection was made by a Board of Inquiry
process. The Waterview Connection Proposal Board of Inquiry (BOI) decision
(June 2011) included a number of consent conditions intended to recognise and
offset the impact of the proposal on the surrounding communities and council
assets. These conditions include a requirement for the designation holder, the
New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA), to fund and undertake the restoration of a
number of council reserves directly affected by the construction works and
provide cash compensation. The development of Valonia Reserve in New Windsor
is an example of reserve upgrades funded through the project.
6. Additionally,
over the construction period Auckland Council will receive income from NZTA in
the form of lease payments for the occupation of public open space such as
Rosebank Domain.
7. The funds
will be received at different stages of the project, with the first income
being received in the 2014/2015 financial year. The estimated income is
$1,200,100 however this could be reduced if the project completes earlier than
currently scheduled and the leased land is no longer required.
