Review of the Speed Limit on the Northern Motorway (State Highway 1) : Northern Gateway Toll Road and the Motorway from Ara Tūhono – Pūhoi to Warkworth

 

Resolution number HB/2024/123

MOVED by Chairperson A Poppelbaum, seconded by Member S Mills:  

That the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board:

a)          That the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board provide the following feedback on New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi’s consultation ‘State Highway 1 Northern Gateway Toll Road and Ara Tūhono – Pūhoi to Warkworth Motorway speed limit review’:

i)           it was challenging to provide feedback to this consultation without the mention or further detail of impacts of the proposals

ii)         there is no analysis provided in the consultation material relating to the statistical likelihood of death or serious injuries moving the speed limit from 100km/h to 110km/h, which makes providing detail in the interest and safety of our residents extremely difficult

iii)        the major benefit signalled of the proposed speed limit changes is that it will result in a much faster journey, but we note that the travel time saved from Ōrewa to Warkworth would only be approximately one minute and 20 seconds

iv)        there are no proposed changes to the speed limit for heavy vehicles, which would remain at 90km/h so we are uncertain of how these proposals would grow the economy (as mentioned in Minister of Transport Simeon Brown’s Press Release on 31 August 2024 ‘110km/h speed limit proposed from Ōrewa to Warkworth’)

v)         we are pleased that the two sections of State Highway 1 were both built to a high safety standard and have delivered strong safety benefits to travellers with no deaths since the Northern Gateway Toll Road opened in 2019.

Thriving Rangatahi

 

Resolution number HB/2024/125

MOVED by Chairperson A Poppelbaum, seconded by Member J Parfitt:  

That the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board:

a)          ohia / endorse Thriving Rangatahi and provide the following feedback:

i)           the policy for Rangatahi should be developed to inform council core business practices, not to promote the development and funding of new activities that are appropriate for government departments such as the Ministry of Social Development and Oranga Tamariki

ii)         sports should have a greater focus in this document, noting the many thousands of Rangatahi who actively participate in and on Auckland Council facilities each week

iii)        the local board is eager to be involved in or lead any youth related pilot programmes relating to the implementation of Thriving Rangatahi.

b)         tono / request that there is a sufficient allocation of funds to support the equitable implementation of the policy throughout the region.
