City
Rail Link Limited Project Funding Request
File No.: CP2023/03389
Te take mō te
pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To
note an updated funding commitment for the City Rail Link (CRL) project,
received by City Rail Link Limited on 14 March 2023 that will be considered in
the confidential part of this meeting.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. City
Rail Link limited (CRL Ltd) is a joint owned company set up by Auckland Council
and the Crown (Sponsors) in 2017 to manage and deliver the City Rail Link
project.
3. CRL
Ltd have requested an additional $1.074 billion of funding for the project from
the two sponsors. This reflects a $1.074 billion increase to the previously
estimated total project cost of $4.419 billion, which was approved by the
sponsors in May 2019, to a new total of $5.493 billion.
4. The
cost increase has been primarily driven by the Covid-19 pandemic and associated
lockdowns, which has resulted in staffing, supply chain and technical-related
challenges associated with a project of this scale and complexity, and
inflation in construction costs.
5. The
council has a range of funding options available, however it will require key
decisions to be made in the 10-year Budget 2024-2034.
