Re: Maintenance schedule for shared path
Your request for information regarding the Maintenance plan for shared paths alongside
motorways in Auckland was transferred to us by Auckland Transport on February 23, 2023.
The specific details of your request and our response are below.
“I am writing to request the maintenance schedule for the shared path alongside SH20
that goes between Orpheus Drive and Queenstown Road. This has not been maintained
for at least the last two years and vegetation overgrowth has now made the path
effectively one-way at a pinch point. Please include what the schedule should be, when
the next maintenance is planned, and any records of previous maintenance
undertaken.”
The cycle path alongside SH20 (highlighted yellow) and neighbouring patch of vegetation
have not been maintained by Auckland Council. Your request is therefore refused under
section 17 (e) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987, that the
document alleged to contain the information requested does not exist or, despite reasonable
efforts to locate it, cannot be found.
Auckland Council are currently liaising with Auckland Transport regarding the clean-up of this
path and responsibilities for the maintenance going forward. Once this has been confirmed
we will be in contact with yourself.
Decisions relating to the information that is being released to you were made by
Taryn Crewe,
General Manager – Parks and Community Facilities. You have the right to complain to the Ombudsman if you believe we have not responded
appropriately to your request. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
If you have any further queries, please contact me on 09 301 0101 quoting official information
request number 8140011476.
