Dear Mr Adriaansen
OFFICIAL INFORMATION REQUEST
I refer to your official information received by way of Transfer from Environment Canterbury on
14 December 2021.
The information you have requested is enclosed.
‘Please provide a breakdown of all Low Cost Low Risk projects which were allocated funding under
the Low Cost/Low Risk category, for the period 2018-2021, in the 2015 RLTP (updated 2018). This
information can be restricted to those items which appear in TABLE 1: PRIORITY 1 EXPENDITURE on
pages 42 and 43 of the Canterbury Regional Land Transport Plan 2015 - 2025. In particular, I am
seeking information on which projects included improved pedestrian or cycling facilities, what the
locations of the improvements were and what their budget allocation was. Please include projects
which were funded in this period but may have had construction delayed into the current funding
period.
A review of the projects identified in the 2015-25 Canterbury Regional Land Transport Plan 2015 –
2025 has been undertaken.
