| Manager strategy |
4 June 2008 |
Reporting that the Royal Commission has recently released a
third research paper, "Transport Governance in Auckland: Situation Analysis".
This research paper gives an overview of the transport situation in Auckland,
providing historical context for the transport governance that exists today. It
analyses what some of the key issues and challenges are for this sector, and
highlights areas that need to be resolved to achieve more consistent and
effective solutions.
The Royal Commission has invited comments on the research
paper over the next month. Officers are currently reviewing the research paper
and preparing a draft council response.
It is proposed by officers that Council's submission on the
transport research paper be tabled as additional information at the public
hearing on 24 June 2008 at 9.30am.
In support of its public hearing appearance, it is
suggested that Council table for the Commission key supporting research papers
and other information.
Officers will be working with Council's public hearing
representatives to finalise the key messages and to develop clear responses to
issues and/or questions of interest to the Commission.
Recommending that the report and supporting attachment be
noted, that the Transport Committee members be invited to the next Committee
meeting to be involved in the review and approval of Council's submission on the
Royal Commission's research paper, "Transport Governance in Auckland:
Situation Analysis", and that this be presented to the Royal Commission as
part of Council's public hearing tabled information.
