Hi there

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Transport, I acknowledge your Official
Information Act request transferred to us on 31 January 2023 seeking:

 

“For various reasons major global cities have implemented strategic
resilience plans in the form of '15-minute cities' similar to the City of
Melbourne's '20-minute neighbourhood'.

(see
[1]https://www.weforum.org/videos/paris-is-...)

(see
[2]https://www.planmelbourne.vic.gov.au/cur...)

Please inform:

Does the Government of New Zealand and/or its agencies have intentions to
adopt and impose such systems in New Zealand cities?”

 

We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible, and in
any event no later than 1 March 2023, being 20 working days after the day
your request was received. If we are unable to respond to your request by
then, we will notify you of an extension of that timeframe.

 

The Ministry publishes Official Information Act responses on our website
when there may be wider interest in the information released. This means
the information provided to you might be published after you have received
it.

 

Kind regards,

Ministerial Services

Tēnā koe Requestor,

Thank you for your letter dated 26 March 2023 about the role of the
Ministry of Transport in advising on strategic resilience plans in the
form of 15–20-minute cities, and whether councils have an intention of
adopting the 15–20-minute cities model.

The Ministry of Transport is one of the government agencies contributing
to the Government’s Urban Growth Agenda. This work programme aims to
remove barriers to the supply of land and infrastructure and make room for
New Zealand’s cities to grow up and out. A key focus is addressing
constraints within the planning system, so councils can meet the changing
needs of their communities. Another focus is improving coordination and
alignment between central and local government and mana whenua in our
urban areas through Urban Growth Partnerships.

The Urban Growth Agenda promotes well-functioning urban environments where
New Zealanders have good access to jobs, transport, and community
facilities. There are no foreseeable plans of adopting or imposing
strategic resilience plans in the form of 15-20-minute cities.

Under the Local Government Act 2002, councils have the legal autonomy to
implement a range of urban strategies and policies. When doing this,
councils consider matters such as housing intensification, urban form,
transport accessibility, population growth, liveability, environment and
sustainability, and infrastructure. These considerations influence where
they decide to enable housing, amenities, and services through zoning and
other planning rules. Councils must engage with the public when developing
their plans.

Nāku noa, nā,
