Resolution number RD/2023/79

MOVED by Member M Dennis, seconded by Deputy Chairperson L Johnston:  

That the Rodney Local Board:

a)         whakarite / provide the following views on the Notice of Requirements for the transportation projects

i)          support S1 the alternative state highway: a new dual carriageway motorway and the upgrade of Brigham creek interchange in Whenuapai

ii)         express concern that the adverse effects of flooding are more than minor for the notice of requirement S2: State Highway 16 (SH16) Main (Huapai): upgrade of the existing SH16 designation 6766 to provide for the road corridor upgrade, including the shared footpaths and cycle lanes (active mode facilities) and realignment of the Station Road intersection with SH16

iii)       express concern that the adverse effects of flooding are more than minor for the notice of requirement S3 Rapid transit corridor (Kumeu): new rapid transit corridor with shared footpath and cycle lane (active mode corridor)

iv)       express concern the adverse effects of flooding are more than minor for that notice of requirements KS of Kumeu Rapid Transit station New rapid transit station including transport interchange facilities accessway

v)         express concern the adverse effects of flooding are more than minor for that notice of requirements HS: Huapai Rapid Transit Station: New rapid transit station, including transport interchange facilities, park and ride and accessway

vi)       express concern the adverse effects of flooding are more than minor for that notice of requirements of S4: Access Road (Kumeu): Upgrade of Access Road with separate footpath and cycle lane

vii)    express concern that the delivery of these projects is overdue given the decades of growth in the North West leading to Rodney being the fastest growing area of Auckland accommodating massive urban sprawl yet there having been little investment in capacity on State Highway 16 or in provision of any rapid transit solutions that would encourage mode shift and mitigate climate impacts

vii)      express concern that the congestion on State Highway 16 is compromising regional productivity as commuter traffic and rural production compete with students and visitors, for the opportunity to use the route with weekends being no better than during the week as recreational travelers from all over Auckland come out to our visitor attractions, regional parks, beaches and to participate in activities not available in other parts of the city

viii)    seek clarification of the sequence of delivery of the notices of requirements in the North West Strategic Package

ix)       support a moratorium on all future development in the North West until all the projects that follow the notices of requirements have been delivered.

b)      kopou / appoint Deputy Chairperson Louise Johnson to speak to the local board views at a hearing (if one is held) on the Notice of Requirement if that is considered necessary by the local board

c)      tautapa / delegate authority to the chairperson to make a replacement appointment in the event the local board member appointed in resolution b) is unable to attend the hearing (if one is held).
