NZTA Emergency Works Investment Policies consultation

LGNZ welcomes the opportunity to submit on NZTA’s emergency works investment policies consultation.

We have serious concerns with the proposals outlined in this consultation document, which represent another “unfunded mandate” on councils. We think this approach represents something being “done to” councils, rather than “done with” them, and appears to be driven by NZTA’s financial constraints rather than what is best for the transport network. It does not adequately consider the current environment, where councils are already facing significant costs and having to pass these on to their communities via rates increases.
