Made this graph the other day to get an idea of how ungodly expensive the current crop of RoNS are based on Infrastructure Commission research. Compare the cost per lane km, with some 50th percentile benchmarks. Red is post 2023 roads in NZ, yellow pre 2022, and green OECD.

Infra Comm also say that City Centre to Māngere will hit bus capacity within the next decade! The implication being we will likely need a higher order mode (such as light rail)

This page from Auckland Councils Transport Policy Statement is never not pertinent to these motorways lol

This table from Auckland Councils Transport Policy Statement (unanimously supported by Councillors) is always relevant for these announcements lol

Based on the public projections from another OIA, this is how fucked we are without increases to NLTF revenue I could add Warkworth to Te Hana on top of this, not to mention the rest of the RoNS

New Auckland Council Committee appointments dropped!

Interesting that part of the sensitivity tests for the BCR are also redacted due to risk of 'prejudicing commercial sensitivities'! Wonder what that is

Wow all the PPP payments are redacted for Warkworth to Te Hana! Amazing how transparent that is :)
