7. DRAFT SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT PLAN  

   Daniel Newcombe
   Senior Transport Planner	29 June 2006

   Reporting on Auckland City's submission on the draft sustainable transport plan.

   The key points of Auckland City's submission are:

   • Although the intent of the plan is to be applauded, there is insufficient detail regarding roles and funding issues so further revision is necessary
   • The plan's 18 "priority" town centres for funding do not sufficiently align with council or regional strategic programmes and current projects risk losing funding as a result
   • The plan's town centre transport plans duplicate existing council programmes and add an additional layer of complexity
   • The plan's cycling proposals do not correctly include Auckland City's cycle network projects
   • The plan's workplace travel plan proposals have significant implications for council resources and need to be carefully managed
   • The plan needs to include greater funding detail to specify which funding is already committed, which agency is responsible and the timeframe for implementation

   Representatives from Auckland Regional Transport Authority (ARTA) will be in attendance to give a presentation regarding the draft Sustainable Transport Plan.

   Recommending that the Chairman of the Transport and Urban Linkages Committee and the General Manager Transport be delegated the authority to finalise and approve Auckland city's submission on the draft sustainable Transport Plan.
