Dear Cody,

 

Thank you for your email, received on 01.05.2023. You requested the
following information, under the Local Government Official Information and
Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA):

 

“What is the current state of this project?
When is this project anticipated to be completed?
What is the the main hold-up, if any?
What is the approximate cost of this project, both to date and by
completion, to CCC?”.

 

Please find below a response (in bold) to your LGOIMA request.

 

What is the current state of this project?

This project is currently in the tender phase and the project team have
been negotiating with a preferred contractor.

When is this project anticipated to be completed?

It is anticipated the project will be completed by Spring 2024, but this
is dependent on KiwiRail’s programme for their works on the railway for
which the CCC civil works are tied to.

What is the main hold-up, if any?

There have been a number of elements of work ongoing over the past few
months, including Council negotiating with a preferred contractor as part
of the tender process, the ongoing railway track and signals design and
working towards aligning Council and KiwiRail programmes.

What is the approximate cost of this project, both to date and by
completion, to CCC?”

-          The spend to date on the project is $10.6m.

-          The total project cost cannot be provided at this time due to
some commercially sensitive elements. Once a contract has been awarded,
more information can be shared.   

 

Part of the information you have requested is attached. However, we have
decided to refuse your request for information which relates to
commercially sensitive information withheld under the following section of
the LGOIMA:

o 7(2)(h) – to enable any local authority holding the information to
carry out commercial activities.

 

In the Council's view the reasons for withholding these details are not
outweighed by public interest considerations in section 7(1) favouring
their release.

 

You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate and review our
decision. Complaints can be sent by email to
[1][email address].

Please note: our LGOIMA responses may be published on the Christchurch
City Council website a month after they have been responded to, with

Kia ora Cody,

 

On 10 May 2024, you requested the following information, under the Local
Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA):

 

Has there been a further cost blow out with KiwiRail over and above the
projected $25m budget?

When is the most recent estimate of when this project expected to be
delivered?

 

Staff have confirmed that KiwiRail has informed the Project Team that
there is a cost increase to their elements of the Halswell Junction Road
Extension project. The Project Team are currently working with KiwiRail to
confirm the value of this increase.

 

Regarding when the project is expected to be delivered, KiwiRail have got
blocks of line booked for the coming months to complete works on the
railway, and a date to open the new level crossing is still to be
finalised. Once the new level crossing and the new link road are open to
traffic, there are still works to be completed to the cul-de-sac and a
short section of Halswell Junction Road. Dates for these works will be
communicated once they have been agreed on, but staff are expecting
project completion in early 2025.

 

You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate and review our
decision. Complaints can be sent by email to
[1][email address].
