Dear Mr Hassall,
This is in response to your request under the Local Government Official Information Act for
background information used to develop the 2016 Auckland Central Access Plan Programme
Business Case.
Please find attached the cost estimate spreadsheet from 2016 identifying how the detailed
costings were calculated for the various options.
For clarity, the "Do Regardless" cost was $540M, however $200M of cycling improvements on
city centre approach roads was excluded from options which used surface roads as they would
be expected to address those cycling issues as part of their composition. Therefore, the total
costs for each surface option were "the option cost" plus $340M for remaining "Do Regardless"
cost. This means:
•
"Programme Option 2: High Investment in Buses / Bus Rapid Transit" was $9,200M
plus $340M equalling $9,540M
•
"Programme Option 3: Light Rail Transit" was $3,400M plus $340M equalling $3, 7 40M.
We trust the above information has addressed the matters raised however, should you believe
that we have not responded appropriately to your request, you have the right in accordance
with section 27(3) of the LGOIMA to make a complaint to the Office of the Ombudsman to
seek an investigation and review in regard to this matter.
If you have any further queries, please contact me on (09) 355 3553 during business hours,
quoting Local Government Official Information request number
CAS-947317-QJJOHJ.
Yours sincerely
