Local Transport Capital Fund: options for
distribution and size of the fund
|
|
|
Resolution
number WTK/2018/34
MOVED by Deputy Chairperson S Toms, seconded by Member N
Henderson:
That the Waitākere
Ranges Local Board endorse:
a) an
increase to the Local Transport Capital Fund of $10 million per annum
(inflation adjusted) from 1 July 2018
b) a
model (Option 3) that provides for a fixed level of baseline funding for all
boards, as well as a variable component based on the Local Boards Funding
Policy, noting the following factors as being relevant to the Waitakere
Ranges Local Board area:
i.
the cost of building transport infrastructure is not directly
related to the size of the population it serves
ii.
mature areas with high populations tend to already have higher
quality and better developed transport infrastructure
iii.
the existing Auckland Transport/NZTA criteria for regional
transport spending tend to favour, as would be expected, areas of high
density and growth
iv.
the physical size of an area tends to have a correlation with
the need for transport infrastructure e.g. the number of settlements, town
centres.
c) Auckland
Transport receiving additional funding to provide an increased level of
support to local boards in developing and assessing projects for the local
transport capital fund.
