considers the Regional Land Transport Plan 2024-2034 deliberations
staff report.
2. In response to submissions and as recommended by the Transport
Technical Advisory Group, amends the Regional Land Transport Plan
2024-2034 (RLTP) by:
2.1. including
clear and concise commentary on how the Future Form and Function Review, as
well as the East Coast Connectivity Business Case, will help the region plan
for transport system resilience both now and into the future in both the
Executive Summary and the relevant section of the final RLTP.
2.2. including all
additions as set out in the Hawke’s Bay Airport Ltd submission except
for 3.7.1.
2.3. adding
commentary in the emissions reduction section (3.3.1) of the RLTP, on the
role that modern, efficient buses play in reducing emissions.
2.4. ensuring
enhanced resilience across the transport system is highlighted in the final
RLTP – including the local road and state highway investments and the
need for clearly planned-for and adequately funded network alternatives and
redundancy.
2.5. ensuring
there is a clear view across both activities and prioritisation, of how
proposed investments align with the Government Policy Statement on land
transport 2024 (GPS) and deliver on the desired outcomes.
2.6. including
commentary about the potential of alternative funding sources for transport
system investments across Hawke’s Bay, such as tolling and
Public-Private Partnerships, within the investment programme in chapter 7 of
the RLTP.
2.7. retaining
both the Waipawa (with original prioritisation) and Wairoa (as a future
capital project) walking and cycling connection projects in the RLTP.
2.8. adding
specific reference to the Genesis site at Tuai and its importance to the
region as a lifeline piece of infrastructure, to highlight the importance of
the State Highway 38 corridor and the need to ensure investments are made to
enhance the resilience of the corridor.
2.9. ensuring that
all minor changes or refinements needed are made to the Regional Land
Transport Plan 2024-2034 ahead of adoption by the Regional Council, including capital
works programmes via the State Highway Improvement Proposal along with Maintenance,

the Regional Land Transport Plan to accurately reflect
Napier Port volumes and operations.
2.11. including the Regional
Recovery Agency’s submission in the final Regional Land Transport
Plan 2024-2034 (RLTP) with:
2.11.1. an overview of the works
and funding required across the region is included in chapter 7 of the RLTP.
This would identify the need for enhanced Funding Assistance Rates by
councils as well as the bespoke funding requirements.
2.11.2. a sub section of the
RLTP investment programme (chapter 7) is created, which includes the full
list of councils’ costed recovery and rebuild projects (as at 30 April
2024), Funding Assistance Rates required, the overall funding short fall,
bespoke funding needs and contextual commentary.
2.11.3. the above points built
into the Executive Summary to outline and highlight its importance.
2.12. including the updated Capital Works
Programme as follows.

2.13. including reference to
‘take the lane’ into the Active Transport section of the Regional
Land Transport Plan 2024-2034 and for consideration by Roadsafe
2.14. commencing all
references to the Public Transport Plan, including policies 2.1 and 4.2, with
‘subject to funding’.
3. Delegates the
Regional Transport Committee Chair, Councillor Martin Williams, and Councillor
Tania Kerr, the approval of necessary updates and editorial changes to the Regional
Land Transport Plan 2024-2034 and the final version for adoption by
Hawke’s Bay Regional Council.
4. Writes to the New Zealand Transport Agency to request that:
4.1 any
plans or business case processes, either underway or planned, include clear and explicit planning about
network options for alternative routes and network redundancy/resilience (including on
local roads) within those. This must include a transparent and equitable funding
arrangement to ensure the alternative route is suitable to sustain high levels of traffic, both
commercial and private vehicles.
4.2 a
robust optioneering and investigation process in relation to the expressway four-laning, encompassing
the local roading network as key feeders and integration of other transport
modes, to ensure the
future form and function is most resilient, effective and efficient.
4.3 NZTA
and Transport Recovery East Coast (TREC) make the planning and optioneering
that has been undertaken to consider transformative alternate routes for
State Highway
2 (north to Wairoa) and /or alternative routes for network redundancy
publicly available, including the design and economic evaluation information used, and allow the Hawke’s
Bay Regional Transport Committee to have continued input
into the TREC processes.
5. Requests that
the Transport Technical Advisory Group prepares and reports on a delivery programme
for the Regional Land Transport Plan 2024-2034 policies directed to
driving greater uptake of active transport and public transport within
funding constraints.
6. Recommends
that Hawke’s Bay Regional Council adopts the Regional Land
Transport Plan 2024-2034, which incorporates the decisions of the
Regional Transport Committee meeting of 24 May 2024, and submits it to the
New Zealand Transport Agency (Waka Kotahi).
