Kia ora Andrew,
The information you requested - CAS-1023105-N4L7Z8
Thank you for your request for information requesting information relating to the bus stop 1118 at 28
Junction Rd, Waiheke Island.
Fol owing minimal consultation in 2022 and our expressed objection to any change a decision was taken
and implemented in 2024 to significantly upgrade the bus stop 1188 at 28 Junction Road, Waiheke Island.
The upgrade is not in keeping with the design guidelines for the island, it does not use local y appropriate
materials, is excessively large, has a high kerb step, and does not fol ow the original proposal for
relocation further along the road. No other bus stop on the island has been developed to such an extent
even though the passenger traffic is < 10 people a day.
Please provide all documentation, project plans, emails etc. about who, how and when the decision was
made to carry out the changes. In particular provide evidence for the decision taken to not inform local
householders of the decision to implement the upgrade and the planned design until notice of roadworks
was given a week before they started allowing no objection to be lodged or action taken.
Please find al available correspondence including notes and decision by accessing the below link:
