(Item 4.1)

|
11.1.1
|
A letter has been sent to police
regarding the concern raised in the public forum relating to vehicle speed

Notice
of Requirement for Te Ahu a Turanga-Manawatu Tararua Highway (Item 12.2)
|
|
11.3.1
|
That
Council make a submission to the Notice of Requirement from the New Zealand
Transport Agency for a designation to accommodate the new Te Ahu a
Turanga-Manawatu Tararua Highway, and
That
this submission include the following points:
· Overall
Council strongly supports the proposed timeframe for construction, the four
lane layout, and the integration of iwi values into the proposed new highway.
· Any delay in
construction commencing will have an ongoing adverse impact on the freight,
social and economic outcomes for Tararua district.
· Council is
concerned that New Zealand Transport Agency has not covered in adequate
detail an assessment of walking and cycling as required to align with the
latest Government Policy Statement on Land Transport, nor Palmerston North
City Council’s district planning documents or the Te Apiti Governance
Group. Council believe this needs to occur prior to hearings to avoid
delays with construction through potential appeals to this process.
· The Notice
of Requirement should start at the western abutment of the New Zealand
Transport Agency bridge at Ashhurst to ensure alignment with Palmerston North
City Council’s district planning documents as detailed in their
council’s submission to the Notice of Requirement.
· Council
supports a separated cycling and walking path between the start and end
points of the Notice of Requirement (amended as suggested above) to ensure
alignment with the Government Policy Statement on Land Transport and above
strategic documents (Palmerston North City Council and Te Apiti Governance
Group).
· Council urge
there be no delays to commencing construction of the highway, which means New
Zealand Transport Agency need to complete the assessment noted above for
walking and cycling prior to the hearings.
And that the Mayor and Chief
Executive be authorised to present this submission on behalf of Council.
