We’re proposing in our draft Long Term Plan (LTP) to spend $1.6 billion across the entire transport network over the next 10 years.
Of this, we propose spending $1 billion on roads, footpaths and road infrastructure renewals and replacements over the next 10 years. This covers:
The Draft LTP has been developed with the best information that the Council had at the time. Since then, the Government has released a new draft Government Policy Statement for Land Transport for consultation.
This set out Government priorities for land transport investment over the next 10 years and details how funding from the National Land Transport Fund is to be spent.
If the priorities change and impact the proposed programme, the Council will consider options and consult further if appropriate.
We also propose spending $101 million on bus infrastructure improvements, including new bus lanes and shelters, intersection changes, and renewals over the next 10 years.
There’s less than a week left to have your say on these and other proposals. Visit ccc.govt.nz/longtermplan by Sunday 21 April.
