Agenda of the Week
Every week, we run Aide on a real council agenda and show you exactly what comes out.
· Greater Wellington Regional Council
Public Transport Committee
Ten agenda items, 118 pages. Here's what Aide pulled out:
- Rail punctuality was 78.5% in August against a 95% target, and staff say the contract measure leaves out speed restrictions and planned works that passengers still experience.
- Bus procurement for the Hutt Valley may exceed its approved funding envelope, with most of the schedule contingency already used.
- Staff don't recommend keeping the existing Waterloo Station structure on economic grounds, but a refurbishment cost still goes into the next Long Term Plan bid.

· Far North District Council
Te Kūkupa Committee for Strategy, Policy and Regulation
