(a) travel demand management: school, business and event travel plans and promotion of alternatives to the car (p.8). (b) roading: frankton road as a 'people corridor' with bus priority lanes in each direction and an access management plan (pp.5, 8); investigation and protection of a new route on the west bank of the shotover river linking tuckers beach road and hansen road to gorge road, which also offers a hazard-management role (p.8); kelvin heights access improvements (p.9); a frankton flats arterial network and seven upgrade projects including the kawarau falls bridge replacement, sh6/sh6a, glenda drive and grants road intersections and humphrey street (p.9); and protection of a boyd road link for construction after 2026 (p.10). (c) passenger transport: 'a bus system is recommended due to its ability to respond to changing demands and cost effectiveness compared to other types of systems' (p.10), with buses about every four minutes on frankton road when fully implemented (p.10), supported by ferry services and park-and-ride (pp.5-7). (d) parking: legibility, better short-stay management and long-stay (commuter) constraint once high-quality passenger transport is in place, including completing man street and gorge road parking (1,250 spaces), a cbd parking strategy, a residential parking scheme and park-and-ride at gorge road, frankton flats and kelvin heights; these are estimated to transfer about 20% of car trips to passenger transport by 2026 (p.12). timing and implementation. the short term focuses on low-cost measures and feasibility of major projects such as sh6a bus priority; passenger transport projects proceed in the medium term; the eastern route and boyd road are protected for construction after 2026 (p.7). the document notes 'strong potential' for private enterprise to bring forward bus and ferry services and some roading links (p.7). implementation is led by qldc, orc and transit new zealand, with a colour-coded implementation plan (pp.12-13): transit leads sh6a and state highway components, qldc/orc jointly lead passenger transport initiatives, and qldc leads tdm, parking, the eastern route, frankton flats arterials and kelvin heights. the plan schedules partial then full public transport priority on sh6a, buses at 10-minute frequency in 2011-2015 rising gradually to four minutes in 2016-2026, and ferry facilities and services (p.13). no costs, benefit-cost ratios or patronage forecasts are given. mass rapid transit: the document does not mention mass rapid transit. its passenger transport recommendation is a high-frequency bus system with bus priority on frankton road, chosen for flexibility and cost effectiveness 'compared to other types of systems' (p.10);

It sets a 2046 vision of an 'innovative, functional, integrated, multi-modal and sustainable transport system'. Its main recommendation is that Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC) lead the creation of a single Transport Entity of QLDC, NZTA and Otago Regional Council (ORC) to plan, fund and implement transport improvements.

barriers include network complexity, poor integration with other modes, cost, an over-supply of relatively cheap car parking and a dominant car culture (p.10); bus travel is far slower than car travel because of congestion, meandering routes and low frequency (p.11). the new network (stage one). the objective is a core network that helps address congestion on key corridors, with affordable, direct, regular services and a simple fare structure, contributing to 'the wider objectives of a 20 percent mode share for public transport, walking and cycling in queenstown', a target footnoted as set through the wakatipu transport strategy 2007 (p.13). design principles include direct routes, coordinated timetables, few transfer points at frankton and queenstown, and investigating integration of water ferry/taxi services (p.14). stage one simplifies routes, reduces fares and coordinates school transport with the ministry of education (p.15). four routes are proposed (p.15) with initial frequencies of 15 minutes (sunshine bay-remarkables park), 30/60 minutes peak/off-peak (arrowtown-arthurs point and lake hayes-jacks point) and 60 minutes (five mile-kelvin heights), and desirable minimum frequencies of 15-30 minutes, organised into two ptom units (pp.17, 20). the network was expected to commence in the third quarter of 2017 (p.15). supporting investment includes bus priority at key points, encouraging qldc to reduce low-cost parking, a new ticketing system, journey planner, timetable information, bike racks, and bus shelters and stops with qldc and nzta (p.16). fares and funding. a flat fare for gocard customers and a three-zone cash fare are introduced; concessions are limited to gocard, child and supergold off-peak (pp.5, 17). fares are to be set through orc's annual plan 2017/18 (pp.18, 21). orc targets 50% farebox recovery over the long term, acknowledging this may not be achievable in the short to medium term (pp.11, 18). the first phase prioritises everyday local trips; its success 'relies on qldc addressing the availability of low cost parking', and a qldc financial contribution to public transport is assumed (p.7). implementation requires funding approval from nzta and the orc and qldc annual plans 2017/18 (p.23). relationship to other work. a short-term business case is being developed, and the medium to long term investment programme is being developed through the queenstown integrated transport programme business case (qitpbc), described as an umbrella for transport business cases by orc, nzta and qldc;

a quail rise to hansen road link; grant road to kawarau falls bridge stage 2; a shotover river bridge (arthurs point) duplication; the wakatipu active travel network; frankton track upgrade; town centre pedestrianisation; maas stage 2; a parking strategy; workplace travel plans; a growth management strategy review and an integrated land use and transport masterplan. qldc will separately review the district plan, increase town centre density, develop a network operating framework and create a single transport entity (pp.73-74). the staging timeline places most items between 2018 and 2026, and the mrt corridor and shotover river bridge in the long term, '2027 or beyond' (p.79). outcomes and economics. by 2045: 30% alternative mode share (up from 15%), 329 public transport passengers per hour and 223 fewer vehicles per hour (7%) frankton to queenstown, a 16-minute travel time reduction and 3-minute am peak variability (p.11). the indicative bcr uses a 40-year benefit period and 6% discount rate: present value costs $303m (bcr 1.0) to $436m (bcr 0.7) (p.88); with benefits varied by plus or minus 30%, bcrs range 0.8-1.3 (low cost) and 0.5-0.9 (upper cost) (p.88). the investment profile is high/medium/low (p.92). funding shares are nzta 70% ($313.1m), orc 4% ($18.6m) and qldc 26% ($115.7m) of the $447.5m expected total (p.95). value capture tools (development contributions, financial contributions, targeted rates) are discussed (pp.93-94). delivery. detailed business cases are proposed for 2017/18 for grant road to kawarau falls bridge stage 2, sh6a corridor, water taxi/ferry network, the active travel network and the town centre and pt hub (p.96). the wakatipu transport governance group oversees delivery, with nzta as sponsor (pp.96-97). key risks are topography, land cost, and failure to achieve reduced private vehicle use (pp.86-87). mass rapid transit: the qitpbc is substantive on mrt. the recommended programme includes a 'mass rapid transit corridor (e.g. gondola, light rail etc) from frankton to town centre' (p.75), described among core elements as 'a mass rapid transit (gondola)' (p.73). its expected cost is $160m (95th percentile $240m) (p.95) and, with water taxis/ferries or on its own, it is said to represent 41% of programme cost and to offer opportunity for private investment or alternative funding (pp.11, 85, 93). demand analysis suggests extra sh6a person capacity is needed by 2040, which 'can be delivered in the form of mrt' (p.77). mrt is a long-term activity (2027 or beyond, p.79), dependent on monitoring and trigger points still to be developed (p.77), and has no detailed business case in table 18 (p.96). programme business case (nzta template), filed as attachment a to an agenda item 10 'queenstown integrated transport strategy', with a two-page summary as attachment b nzta (waka kotahi). queenstown integrated transport programme business case (2017). queenstown town centre;

long term (2027+), $160m, suited to private or alternative funding. mrt is one of the defining differences between the short-listed programmes: the pt-focused variants add a 'fully separated and mass rapid transit' option with an integrated transport hub (p.64), costed at $160m (p.65). the recommended balanced pt and active modes focus programme lists an 'mrt corridor: mass rapid transit corridor (e.g. gondola, light rail etc) from frankton to town centre' (p.75), and the programme overview names 'a mass rapid transit (gondola)' among core supply elements (p.73). the assessment credits mass rapid transit with the 'ability to move high volumes of people', rates feasibility 'medium - due to mass rapid transit corridor', and says it 'provides opportunity for alternative funding mechanisms' (p.72). peak hour analysis (figure 31) finds that by 2040 additional sh6a person capacity is required 'and this can be delivered in the form of mrt' (p.77); if traffic keeps rising, 'the most notable' further intervention 'is the introduction of a mass rapid transit corridor', with trigger points to be developed in later business cases (p.77). the mrt corridor is scheduled for '2027 or beyond' (p.79). figure 37 gives an expected cost of $160m and 95th percentile of $240m, entered in the nzta (hno) funding column (p.95), while the text says the mrt corridor 'represents 41% of the total programme cost' and is a good opportunity for private investment (pp.11, 85, 93). av trials could serve hotels from the 'mass rapid transit hub' (p.83). no mrt detailed business case is scheduled (p.96). \"mass rapid transit corridor (e.g. gondola, light rail etc) from frankton to town centre.\" (p.75) | \"increased public transport reliability and choice through addition of bus priority on sh6a corridor, a mass rapid transit (gondola) and an extensive water taxi network.\" (p.73) | \"a mass rapid transit corridor provides a good opportunity to attract private investment or alternative funding arrangements, and represents 41% of the total programme cost.\" (p.11) | \"this suggests that at 2040 additional person movement capacity is required on sh6a and this can be delivered in the form of mrt.\" (p.77) | \"if traffic volumes continue to increase, further interventions will be required. the most notable of these, is the introduction of a mass rapid transit corridor.\" (p.77) | \"mass rapid transit corridor (gondola) provides ability to move high volumes of people\" (p.72) recommended programme cost $447-647 million (expected $447.5m;

circulating traffic searching for parking contributes about 30% of congestion; the cost of congestion in queenstown in 2016 was estimated at $35 million and forecast to more than double in 30 years; free and cheap parking and low penalties ($12 fines) discourage mode shift (pp.10, 16). the 2016 inventory was 5,605 spaces, 42% of them public free all-day (p.14). the document records qldc's parking fee changes from december 2017 and march 2018, timed with the $2 bus fare introduced with orc and nzta (p.19). options. a longlist of programmes was assessed by multi-criteria analysis to a shortlist of programmes 5, 6 and 7 plus the do-minimum. programme 6 (multiple new and upgraded sites, appropriate supply) scored highest; programme 7 (one large car park) scored lower on congestion, environment and risk (pp.85-86). a single large parking site and unlimited supply are excluded from scope (p.90). preferred programme. components include an its operations centre, communications network, on-street data gathering, variable message signs, its in existing and new car parks, conversion of free on-street parking to paid parking with resident schemes, ride-share parking, variable pricing, bike parking, a digital interface potentially linked to the 'choice' app and mobility as a service, technology-assisted enforcement, possible higher penalties, marketing and communications, park and ride (at least 600 spaces, construction spread 2018-2026), and off-street changes on the town centre fringes (pp.92-102). modelling by abley (appendix 11) proposes removing 312 on-street spaces by 2025 and building about 400 off-street spaces (lakeview and boundary street, or the recreation ground), then removing 170 more by 2045 and adding about 700 (skyline, private, 350;

monthly reporting, risk register updates, change management, a new qldc parking management strategy and formal masterplan consultation in march 2018 are proposed (pp.128-130). mass rapid transit: the document makes passing references only. citing beca's demand projections, it states that 'a mass rapid transit solution may be required from 2037 onwards' (p.34) and that the mass transit solution 'is not yet identified but it could include a gondola or light rail service' (p.72). the masterplan implementation schedule reproduced in the case (figure 64) shows 'gondola planning' from 2028 to 2034 and 'gondola construction' completing in 2037 (p.113). it does not assess mrt, which falls to other masterplan business cases. other references are to the existing skyline gondola (parking at its base and 350 new parks at skyline), which is not mass rapid transit, and to 'gondola' among modes in a mobility-as-a-service concept (p.140). the risk register includes a mitigation to 'include pt benefits (ie. gondola landing)' in the arterials mca (p.152). indicative business case (parking), part of town centre masterplan programme qldc. queenstown town centre parking indicative business case (2017). rationale job number j000621. queenstown town centre and fringes;

sh6a between frankton and the town centre is at 88% of its 28,500 vehicles/day capacity and expected to reach 100% by 2026; up to 60% of morning-peak and 77% of afternoon-peak buses run late; camp street is at capacity and a new hub is required by 2023 (p.7). modelling indicates peak-hour pt mode share must rise from 5% in 2018 to 22% in 2025 and 41% in 2045, plus 'the use of a new mass rapid transit solution by 2045' (pp.8-9). options. a long list (table 18) included a do-minimum plus option with 'alternate passenger transport modes such as gondola and water taxi' (p.86). shortlisted programmes 1, 5 and 6 were compared; programme 6 (11-bay off-street interchange bounded by ballarat, stanley and shotover streets) scored highest against objectives (70%) but was marked down for land cost, bus access, pedestrian and night-time safety concerns, so programme 5 (on-street stanley street) was preferred (pp.93-95). stanley street was favoured partly because it allows 'easy access to the lake for potential water-based transport or up turner street for a potential gondola to the airport' (p.91). preferred programme. camp street is expanded to four bays as an interim (about two years), then a 6-8 bay stanley street interchange with an approximately 800 m2 passenger building, bus priority and restricted private access is delivered by 2023, requiring at least stage 1 of the new arterials (pp.96-98). coach parking on camp street is removed; passenger transport, taxi and loading zones are reallocated; inter-city buses move to stanley street (pp.100-101). water taxis grow by 2023, wharves are upgraded, all frankton arm piers become pontoons by 2027 and a scheduled ferry network is expected by 2030 (pp.112, 116-118). bus priority on frankton road is recommended by 2023 (p.116). bus services reach maximum practical frequency by 2025, and the frankton road bus service is expected to reach capacity around 2035 even with ferries (p.118). economic, commercial and financial cases. the programme sits within the masterplan bcr of 1.7 and is assessed as 'high' and potentially 'very high' results alignment (pp.11, 134-135). 2045 modelling estimates 300 peak-hour frankton road passengers by bus/water taxi and 490 by mass rapid transit (p.129). the cost is $33,848,000: dbc $75,000, marketing $156,000, property $5.2m, public ferry wharf $5.7m, stanley street interchange $22.7m, all loaded in 2017/18-2023/24 (p.139). nzta funding is assumed at 51% far, with ppp, orc/nzta its co-investment and possible central government funding (pp.12, 139-140). qldc is reaching its debt ceiling (p.140). procurement is in two phases, with qldc working with nzta and orc through a steering group (p.137). management case. a qldc-nzta-orc alliance is proposed, with the chief executives' next meeting on 6 december 2017 (pp.141-142);

active and public transport accounting for less than 13% of inbound travel and under 2% of people using the bus to work; town centre parking at capacity, with 30% of congestion from parking search; and rapid population and visitor growth (p.9). investment objectives include town centre spend (2017 baseline $400 million) and visitor numbers (18,000/day) (p.49). options. seven programmes, from status quo to 'most ambitious', were built from the project business case options (table 15, p.102) and assessed by mca. programme 7 (with community heart) rated highest but lacked detail, so programme 6 was preferred while preserving land for the community heart (p.103). programme 6 comprises new arterials from melbourne street to one mile roundabout, fringe parking buildings and expanded paid parking, park and ride, a 6-8 bay stanley street pt hub, wharf facilities for waterborne transport, preservation of mass transit corridor options, public realm upgrades, technology, active travel and marketing (pp.10, 110). the case for arterial stage 3 rests largely on wider economic benefits of removing traffic from shotover street; its revised option 3b estimate is $47.7 million, about $50 million lower than before (pp.110-114). economic case. abley's eem-based analysis gives the preferred programme a bcr of 1.7 (sensitivity range 1.2-2.2) (pp.132-133). the incremental analysis shows programme 3 (arterial stages 1 and 2) as preferred because increments to programmes 4 and 6 fall below 1; the document argues programme 6 benefits are conservative (p.132). abley attributes 96% of road user benefits to stages 1 and 2 (p.139). nzta reviewer graeme bellis noted concerns about predicted pt patronage and the elasticity method, and the need for better models (pp.133-134). for 2045 the modelling estimates frankton road peak-hour inbound pt of 300 by bus/water taxi plus 490 by mass rapid transit (p.141). the programme is assessed as 'high' and potentially 'very high' results alignment (pp.136-138). implementation. figure 66 (p.144) shows stanley street interchange by 2023, 5-10 minute bus frequency on frankton road, parking restrictions from 2018, park and ride construction 2018-2026, scheduled ferries from 2024 and a lake-wide ferry network from 2030, arterial construction to 2023, and 'gondola planning' 2028-2034 then 'gondola construction' to 2037. the construction sequencing schedule dated 13 october 2017 sets parking buildings, arterial designation and stages, ferry wharves, the pt interchange (2022/23), public realm streets and the community heart across 2018/19-2027/28 (p.145). financial and management cases. the programme is about $384.7 million over ten years: ppp $46.2m, qldc-only $36.8m, qldc 49%/nzta far 51% $224.2m (including arterials $139.7m and pt hubs $23.9m), and qldc 70%/far 30% $77.5m (p.12). qldc's draft ltp capital programme would require additional borrowing of around $700 million (stated as $750 million on p.11) against a maximum capacity of around $330 million; recommended steps are to reduce or defer, seek bulk crown funding and use ppps (p.150). proposed funding partners are set out by project (p.152). a qldc-nzta-orc alliance with a steering group is proposed (pp.147, 156); consultation is scheduled for march 2018 and dbcs for january-october 2018 (pp.158-160). mass rapid transit: the pbc includes 'preservation of mass transit corridor options to enable future growth' as a programme component (p.10) and states 'a mass rapid transit solution may be required from around 2040' (p.81). its implementation schedule shows planning from 2028-2034 and construction to 2037 (p.144), and the 2035+ pt strategy map lists 'gondola completed' with a 'gondola / light rail' route between the town centre pt hub and frankton (p.123). the hub is to allow for 'a potential gondola link' (p.97). consents and purchases for 'the mass transit corridor' are to be proactively managed (p.148), and mrt is listed as a new asset type for asset management (p.135). mrt is not costed in table 1, and no mode, route or responsible agency is confirmed. programme business case (town centre masterplan) qldc. queenstown town centre masterplan programme business case (2017). rationale job number j000612. queenstown town centre;

it proposes the arterials bypass, a stanley street interchange between ballarat and shotover streets, coach re-routing to shotover street, park and ride outside the town centre, increased bus frequency, cycle networks, water-based access on the western lakefront, and relocation of 30% (short term) and more than 60% (long term) of on-street parking to the edge of the centre (p.052). the interchange concept is detailed at pp.054-055. implementation. the plan has four stages: stage one 2019-2022 (arterial designation and stage one, parking management, stanley street bus priority, camp street cycle lane, park street-hotops rise cycle lane by 2020, ferry/water taxi infrastructure, boundary and ballarat street parking buildings, street upgrades, council offices); stage two 2022-2023 (arterial stage two, pt hub completion, ballarat street and village green); stage three 2023-2025 (arterial stage three, full pt hub operation, shotover/duke passenger transport hub, lakefront, completion of ferry network to frankton and kelvin heights); and stage four 2025-2028 (lake esplanade, church and earl streets, community heart, pt optimisation) (pp.095-096, 100-104). ten priority projects are listed (p.099). two stage two options are 'to be confirmed through dbc' (pp.101-102). implementation depends on partnership with nzta and orc and the private sector, with three-yearly monitoring and reviews aligned with the ltp (p.105). the document contains no cost estimates, bcrs or patronage forecasts. mass rapid transit: the framework refers to mrt in its movement strategy and implementation plan, though briefly. the movement strategy includes 'future proof for other transport modes such as light rail and/or a gondola linking the town centre and queenstown airport' (p.052), and its map labels a 'potential gondola link to airport' (p.053). stage one includes 'progressive investigation of mass rapid transit options using the progressed corridor planning' (p.095). both stage two options list 'mass rapid transit: initial developments / early works for mass rapid transit terminal potential', with mass rapid transit symbol near gorge road and an arrow labelled 'airport connection (gondola)' (pp.101-102). most other references are to the skyline gondola and the gardens to gondola pedestrian connection (key move 003). town centre spatial framework and masterplan (5 parts) qldc. queenstown town centre spatial framework (2018). queenstown town centre (historic core, stanley street, lakefront, lakeview, gorge road);

in the nzta-endorsed queenstown integrated transport programme business case (qitpbc) (p.16), whose recommended programme targets 30% alternative mode share by 2045, up from 15% (p.28). page references are printed page numbers for the main volume; appendices are cited by file. problems and objectives: ilm workshops identified three problems: lack of appropriate infrastructure creating safety barriers (40%); informal and incomplete trails leading to low usage (40%); and limited alternatives reinforcing congestion and poor health (20%) (p.34). trips into the town centre between 7am and 11am were 77% car occupants, 13% public transport, 9% pedestrians and 1% cyclists (p.56). the existing trails carry about 330,000 trips a year, expected to grow 5-10% annually (p.9). options and preferred network: twelve routes linking queenstown and frankton with jacks point, kelvin heights, lake hayes estate, arthurs point, fernhill and arrowtown were assessed through mca, with sensitivity tests (pp.67-127). the preferred network includes the utilities corridor from jacks point to frankton, the existing lakeside frankton track between frankton and queenstown, gorge road/robins road to arthurs point, and town centre routes from the queenstown town centre masterplan (pp.128-130). economic case: using the wsp-opus pt demand model to estimate cycle demand (p.155), and assuming existing cycling mode shares double by 2045 (p.156), package 1 has a present value cost of $36.9m and benefits of $97.6m, a bcr of 2.6 and first year rate of return of 13% (p.158). stage 1 (2018-2021) has a bcr of 1.8 and stage 2 (2021-2024) 3.2 (p.158). route bcrs range from 0.6 (park street) to 5.9 (queenstown to frankton, b3) (p.160). total cycling trips are forecast to grow from 3,122 (2016) to 8,828 (2029) and 15,055 (2046) (pp.160-161). with no growth in commute share the bcr falls to 1.0 (p.161). the proposal is rated 'high' for results alignment with priority order 5 (pp.162-163). financial, commercial and management cases: package 1 is estimated at $39.64m in 2019 dollars (stage 1 $13.63m; stage 2 $26.01m), excluding inflation, with +/-30% contingency (pp.166-169). package 2 (2024-2030) is estimated at $93.78m and the nz transport agency envisages reassessing it (p.169). funding is sought from the nltf at a 51% far plus qldc ltp contributions; nzta indicated about $15m for 2018-2021 and a $35m placeholder for 2021-2024 (p.170). the table 48 split totals $39.41m: qldc $10.54m, nzta $27.87m and third parties $1m (p.171). package 1 affects about 60 properties (p.169). recommended procurement is a price quality method for professional services and traditional staged construction procurement (pp.176-179). governance is through a watn steering group, with maintenance by one organisation under an mou (pp.189-191). next steps were qldc and nzta approval later in 2019 and stage 1 implementation from mid-2020 (p.196). the appendices include engagement, mca, cost estimate, risk, property and consenting reports, and a ghd peer review for qldc (appendix u). mass rapid transit: the ssbc does not assess mass rapid transit, offline public transport or mass rapid transit between frankton and the town centre. appendix b notes that the parallel frankton to queenstown ssbc's scope included 'the identification of potential high capacity water transport and mass rapid transit (mrt) options' so that sh6a interventions are appropriately sized (app a-g file p.24). other references are to the skyline gondola as a town centre destination (e.g. the rees street 'gardens to gondola' route, p.153) and a meeting with porter group about its proposed mass rapid transit and trails alongside the kawarau river (app c). single stage business case (active travel network), with

demand proxy (appendix r), and a stakeholder meeting with porter group 'regarding the proposed gondola and trails alongside kawarau river' (app c, app a-g file p.35). none of these relate to a

'market ready' means ready to engage the market with intent to procure via competitive tender, and may mean a business case approved or near approval, consents obtained and land acquisition commenced; 48% of first-iteration projects were in business case development (p.2). based on nzta data, 41 transport projects were identified for the first iteration; 12 major roading projects under re-evaluation were excluded or reduced in scope (p.2). a table lists the 12 with their status (p.3): none are in otago. treasury identified no substantive communications with the ministry of transport, which was not a contributor (p.3). released documents (p.4). (1) a 4 february 2019 itu paper to the expert review panel by karen mitchell and adam wood on the pipeline approach, noting only projects with a current business case or funded for procurement would be included, and that most large projects were excluded because they were being re-evaluated (pp.8-11).

$28.8m. context and purpose: qldc and its partners nz transport agency and orc engaged ghd and boffa miskell to develop a masterplan and integrated transport programme business case for te kirikiri frankton, as part of the way to go initiative (p.9). both have a 30-year vision (p.9). frankton is reached by road only via the kawarau falls bridge, the shotover bridge and sh6/sh6a from the town centre; sh6a carries about 25,600 vehicles per day (p.9). the wakatipu ward population is forecast to grow by 17,260 (61%) by 2038, and the airport forecast over three million passengers by 2025 and six million by 2035 (p.10). the cover is marked 'attachment b' (p.1). problems and objectives: workshops in november 2018 identified two problems: the transport system favours private vehicles, causing severance (60%); and land use, infrastructure constraints and growth cause congestion (40%) (p.11). five investment objectives cover severance and liveability, multi-modal access, safety, active mode connectivity, and reliability (p.11). options: more than 150 interventions informed seven long-list programmes, from do minimum to do maximum (pp.61-68). programme 5 (mass transit in 20-25 years) was favoured for its mass transit elements but was judged not to meet pt needs within ten years (p.70). the short list was do minimum (about $10m), programme 3 (bus priority, then a trackless tram on a designated corridor alongside sh6 and sh6a within 10 years; about $295m) and programme 4 (a mass rapid transit linking lake hayes estate, frankton and queenstown town centre within 10 years, a travellator from qec to the airport, and ferry upgrades; about $366m) (pp.71-79). both met the investment objectives; programme 3 scored marginally better on pt share and travel times, and programme 4 had greater landscape and visual effects but likely greater air quality and visitor benefits (p.80). recommended programme: the common elements of programmes 3 and 4, plus either a ground-based mass transit system or mass rapid transit (p.81). short-term (2019-2024) measures include a trial orbital bus, bus priority on sh6/sh6a, orbus improvements, a new ferry terminal, a 50 km/h sh6 speed limit, safe crossings, a jack's point shared path and kawarau river active bridge, and parking policy (p.82). medium-term (2024-2028) measures include high capacity pt, more bus priority, the humphrey street link, park and ride near boyd road, a regional bus hub, the lake link, robertson street upgrades, intensification around mass transit stations and reduced parking requirements (pp.84-85). long-term (2029-2050) measures include potential pt bridges over the shotover and kawarau rivers and network expansion (p.87). further residential development above modelled levels, as transit-oriented development, is recommended (p.81). economics and finance: using programme 3 (trackless tram) costs and benefits within the frankton study area only, the bcr is 0.3-0.6 at 6% (0.2-0.7 across sensitivities). npv benefits are $89.4m against npv costs of $141.5m-$262.1m (p.16). costs outweigh benefits mainly because benefits start only in 2028 (p.92). the iaf rating is very high for results alignment and low for benefit-cost appraisal (p.94). programme 3 is estimated at $294.24m including escalation and contingency, of which public transport is $180m (p.98). interventions to 2024 total $19.84m (p.99); common elements to 2028 total $115.2m (p.101); trackless tram elements total $159.2m (p.101); and items without a current business case total $54.72m (p.102). indicative cost shares are nzta $182.4m, qldc $83.04m and orc $28.8m (p.104). the appendix j economics note carries a draft disclaimer (pp.254-263). management: delivery is through the way to go partnership, with specialist procurement for high capacity pt (p.103). risks include insufficient density for mass transit, high mass transit pricing and an unclear funding stream (p.96). mass rapid transit: substantive. a mass rapid transit was one of two shortlisted high capacity pt options (programme 4), linking lake hayes estate, frankton and queenstown town centre within 10 years (pp.13, 76). both mass transit options were deemed to meet the investment objectives, and the choice was deferred pending further work on costs and benefits (pp.13, 80). the economic case modelled only the trackless tram (pp.16, 257). the report records that a separate mass transit assessment 'has confirmed a need for a high capacity public transport solution for the wakatipu basin within the next ten years' (p.81). programme business

status table: draft a 10/10/2019; final 20/12/2019) shortlists mass rapid transit from lake hayes estate to frankton and the town centre, and a trackless tram; recommends one high-capacity public transport system within 10 years, with the choice deferred. high capacity pt is central to the pbc. programme 4 is 'mass transit (gondola) within 10 years and active modes focus', mass rapid transit 'linking lake hayes estate, frankton and the queenstown town centre that could be extended into growth areas' (p.13), with a qec-airport travellator and complementary ferries (p.76). programme 3 uses a trackless tram alongside sh6 and sh6a (p.74). both 'meet the investment objectives and contribute towards the kpis' (p.80). the trackless tram scored marginally better on pt share and travel times because it has more stops, while mass rapid transit would have greater landscape and visual effects but 'could become a significant attraction for visitors' (p.80). programme 4 was costed at about $366m against $295m for programme 3 (p.79). because 'the relative costs and benefits of the two mass transit solutions requires further investigation', the recommended programme is the common elements plus 'either a ground based mass transit system, or a gondola' (pp.80-81). it states that a separate mass transit assessment 'has confirmed a need for a high capacity public transport solution for the wakatipu basin within the next ten years' (p.81) and assumes operation from 2028 (p.13). the economic evaluation used only trackless tram costs and benefits for frankton (bcr 0.3-0.6) (p.16). the report notes a privately funded mass rapid transit being investigated between remarkables park and the remarkables ski field (p.84). \"programme option 4: mass transit (gondola) within 10 years and active modes focus... specifically a gondola service linking lake hayes estate, frankton and the queenstown town centre that could be extended into growth areas if demand supports this in the long-term.\" (p.13) | \"the recommended programme is the common elements of programme option 3 (trackless trams and bus network) and programme option 4 (gondola and bus network) with a high capacity public transport system.\" (p.13) | \"the relative costs and benefits of the two mass transit solutions requires further investigation before a decision can be made on the recommended solution.\" (p.80) | \"an assessment of the mass transit options is being is being undertaken at the time of issuing this report and has confirmed a need for a high capacity public transport solution for the wakatipu basin within the next ten years.\" (p.81) | \"the gondola would likely deliver greater air quality benefits and could become a significant attraction for visitors.\" (p.80) sh6a frankton road

2048 for frankton. it was developed by the way to go partnership (qldc, nz transport agency (waka kotahi), orc) alongside the frankton integrated transport programme business case, with two rounds of public engagement. it defines six masterplan outcomes and eleven key features. these include a frankton flats-lake link, an sh6 50 km/h urban arterial, an orbital public transport service, transport-oriented development around high capacity pt, a pt interchange and emergency precinct at the frankton golf centre site, and a shotover delta eco park and district park. precinct plans cover quail rise, five mile, remarkables park, frankton village/qec, kimiākau/shotover delta and the airport/ōterotu. phasing is 0-5, 5-15 and 15-30 years, and an action plan schedule assigns about 59 actions to way to go, qldc units, qac, private parties and others. it states that high-capacity pt options including trackless trams, double decker buses and mass rapid transit were being investigated, without choosing a mode. context and purpose: the masterplan was prepared by boffa miskell for qldc (rev 3, 31 january 2020; cover marked 'attachment a') (p.1-2). in late 2018 the way to go partnership of qldc, nzta and orc decided to plan frankton as a whole. building on the september 2018 'your place, your plan' engagement, it began the masterplan and the integrated transport programme business case (itpbc) as an integrated process (p.4-5). engagement included april 2019 q&a sessions, market stalls and an online survey, and two rounds of public engagement (p.4). framework: the vision is 'te kirikiri/frankton, where our pathways, the lake and the rivers meet' (p.3). the document sets design and planning principles (p.6) and six outcomes: water's edge, gateway, local network, integrated urban centres, harmony with nature and inclusive neighbourhoods (p.7). eleven key features follow (p.8). they include a frankton flats-wakatipu lake link and an sh6 50 km/h urban arterial. they also include a high-frequency orbital pt loop, matching high capacity pt corridors with intensive land use such as northern glenda drive, and integrating the airport with pt while investigating relocation of lakes district hospital. further features are a transport interchange and emergency precinct at frankton golf centre, a frankton gardens legacy project, a kimiākau zero waste community eco park, and relocation of rural infrastructure (p.8). transport: the itpbc objectives include mode shift to walking and cycling, safety, reduced severance and congestion, and better pt coverage and frequency (p.44). proposed interventions include a separated active travel network, sh6 crossings, an orbital public transport service, pt river crossings if demand warrants, a freight route and a pt, regional and tourist coach hub near the airport (p.44). no park and ride is proposed with the interchange (p.45). precincts and implementation: precinct sections cover quail rise, five mile, remarkables park, frankton village/qec, kimiākau/shotover delta and queenstown airport/ōterotu (p.46-59). phasing groups actions into 0-5, 5-15 and 15-30 years, with orbital bus, coach hub and active mode bridges brought forward to the short term (p.60-61). the action plan schedule (p.62-66) lists about 59 actions with timeframes and responsibilities. way to go, qldc units, queenstown airport corporation, remarkables park ltd, aurora, the ministry of education and southern dhb are among the parties. an appendix summarises engagement themes and qldc responses. it also lists assumptions, including that the airport remains and that the crosswind runway might be removed (p.67-68). mass rapid transit: the masterplan states that 'high-capacity public transport options are currently being investigated and include, but are not limited to, trackless trams, double decker buses and gondolas' to improve access within frankton, 'to queenstown and across the wakatipu basin' (p.44). it says the form of transport-oriented development depends on the chosen pt solution and 'needs to be identified early' (p.44). it also notes 'several public transport modes are being considered including high capacity buses, trackless trams and gondolas' (p.45). no mode is selected; detail is deferred to the itpbc and other business cases (p.44). separately, maps and the remarkables park actions show private 'gondola lines / base station', including connections to the remarkables ski area (p.56, p.63-64). masterplan with action plan schedule qldc. te kirikiri /

airport revision 3 (cover: 'attachment a', january 2020) high-capacity public transport is under investigation, including mass rapid transit, with the mode choice deferred to business cases. double-decker buses in the same list are not mass rapid transit. a private ski-field cableway is mapped and is not a mass rapid transit proposal. the masterplan identifies high capacity public transport as needed to support growth but does not select a mode. key interventions include: 'high-capacity public transport options are currently being investigated and include, but are not limited to, trackless trams, double decker buses and gondolas to improve access within te kirikiri/frankton, to queenstown and across the wakatipu basin' (p.44). on land use it notes that 'a higher capacity and/or more rapid transport solution may have fewer / distant stops and thus a more nodal-based development. the chosen approach needs to be identified early' (p.44). the hcpt section states that 'several public transport modes are being considered including high capacity buses, trackless trams and gondolas', with a business case to determine the preferred mode (p.45). it also says 'a diversified approach to high capacity public transport could be provided using both land and water-based services' (p.45). detailed transport information is deferred to the frankton itpbc (p.44). separate references to 'gondola lines / base station (private)' and remarkables park actions concern a private mass rapid transit to destinations including the remarkables ski area (p.56, p.63-64).

bus max 32%/47%; trackless tram 31%/44%; trackless tram max 33%/51%; mass rapid transit 10%/15%, plus bus 21%/28%; ferry option 8%/10%, plus bus 18%/30% (p.28). capex evidence: bus max $110m excluding vehicles; trackless tram $212.3m (do min) and $312.3m (do max); mass rapid transit doppelmayr information $134.83m (q-f), plus $122.48m (f-ladies mile), 'totalling $257.31 + $2 million for travellator'; 'gondola b = $134.83 million f2q + $10 million for airport trench'; 'gondola a = $284.6 million'; ferry a $51m (p.33). opex: bus max $12.8m p.a.; trackless tram $11.6m; mass rapid transit $18.8m including $10.2m connecting bus; ferry $36.2m (p.34). mass rapid transit journey time is 22 minutes at 18 km/h versus 16 for car (p.31). the page shows no option scores. b26 tn43 (pp.38-50, final 30 september 2020) recommends a crossing type at each of 11 sh6 locations for option a (roundabouts) and option b (conventional intersections). examples are a zebra at ross street, an underpass east of sh6/6a and an overpass at hardware lane (option a). mass rapid transit: tn19 scopes options to incorporate a 'future potential gondola station' at the frankton bus hub (p.5). b25 assesses a mass rapid transit network option across all mca criteria. its points include: mass rapid transit unaffected by road congestion; less susceptible to low-probability, high-impact natural hazards (p.30); among the options 'most likely to provide close to 100% reliable travel times' (p.31); 'ppp potential – best option for private sector participation' (p.33); 'unparalleled town centre arrival experience' (p.36). against this, it has the slowest journey time (p.31), worst connections pending 'b options' (p.31), visual and onl impacts (pp.32, 35), and low modelled mode share. the evidence pages caution that 'b options for gondola & ferry not yet modelled' and 'models tend to underpredict connective networks' (p.28). the mass rapid transit capex figures are sourced only to 'information from doppelmayr', and the $257.31m + $2m and $284.6m totals are not reconciled. technical notes and mca evidence tables nzta (waka kotahi). appendix b23 technical note 19: scope extension beyond sh6/6a intersection (with appendix b24 technical note 40: ladies mile, appendix b25 queenstown public transport network options multi criteria analysis, and appendix b26 technical note 43: frankton pedestrian crossings) (2020). nzta contract 2018235 - f2q ssbc & qtc dbc;

travel planning and behaviour change; wayfinding; and setting up a transport management association (tma). it costs the programme at about $1.3m-$1.9m in year one, excluding infrastructure. tn11 links the programme to the mode share the business cases need: 40% alternative mode share by 2028 and 60% by 2048, against 4-5% in 2018. tn22 records that the study 'has not progressed' for three reasons. the anticipated nz transport agency tdm contestable fund 'did not eventuate'. a councillor had raised concerns before the october 2019 elections. and the way to go approval process had not been followed, so the report could not be released. tn22 proposes board engagement, confirmation of owners and funding, a check against 'keeping cities moving', and an update to the chamber of commerce, which was pressing ahead with a tma. context and purpose: tn22 (pp.2-3) is a memo to the way to go board from the nzta contract 2018235 team (f2q ssbc and qtc dbc). the preparer, a wsp technical director (transport) and tdm specialist, is redacted. it updates the board on the queenstown tdm scoping study, which nzta commissioned in june 2019 as one of a series of 'rapid targeted interventions' complementing the f2q and qtc business cases (p.2). attached are the study's executive summary (pp.4-8), tn11 with the tdm programme table (pp.9-15) and the full study (pp.16-154). status of the study: tn22 says the study was finalised in august 2019 'but it has not progressed for three main reasons'. first, 'the anticipated nz transport agency tdm contestable fund did not eventuate and so the way to go team were not able to pitch for funding for the proposed programme' (p.2). second, a councillor had raised concerns with the agency before the october 2019 elections. third, the board advised that the correct way to go approval process had not been followed, so the report could not be released (p.3). tn22 calls tdm 'critical to the success' of the two business cases (p.3). in the august 2019 workshop minutes, the agency's own next steps were to 'establish the tdm contestable fund (pending)' and 'complete mode shift plan for queenstown' (p.104). tn11: tn11 sets out the gap the tdm programme is meant to close. business case modelling requires a significant alternative mode share in the peak (40% by 2028, 60% by 2048), against 4-5% in 2018. the future pt model predicts pt mode share of 30% by 2028 and 42% by 2048, 'which still leaves a gap' (p.9). it states that 70% of frankton-queenstown trips are through traffic, and that sh6a is expected to exceed its theoretical capacity of 28,500 vehicles per day 'as early as 2020' (p.10). it notes 'road pricing may also be considered in the long term' (p.10). scoping study method: a review of related projects and the local context, structured interviews with 15 stakeholders, two stakeholder workshops (4 july and 6 august 2019; pp.85-105), and international resort-town case studies such as zermatt, breckenridge and park city (appendix e). the programme (table 7-1; appendix a pp.12-15) has four parts: - policy: sustainable transport vision, car-free tourism, mobility co-ops, car-share policy, park and ride study, travel plan and development requirements, parking charges, freight management, car-free town centre, airport access study, self-drive permit study. - travel planning and behaviour change: school and community travel plans, cycle training, awards and gamification. - wayfinding: an audit and design guide, and accessible routes. - a tma (a member-controlled not-for-profit incorporated society): set-up, business and funding plans, programmes such as guaranteed ride home, luggage logistics, a journey planning app, bike share and ridesharing, data gap work, information, and advocacy. most items are assigned to qldc or the tma, with roles for nzta, orc, dq, mbie and others. costs: $1.3m-$1.9m in year one (the table prints '$1.2k $1.9k'), $539k-$813k in year two and $434k-$589k in year three, excluding infrastructure (p.62). tma running costs are $327k-$403k a year, plus $200k-$250k for the business and funding plans (p.62). the funding section expected nzta to establish 'a multi-million contestable fund for tdm' that the tma should qualify for (p.66). it also lists other potential sources: the provincial growth fund, eeca, a bed tax or the international visitor conservation and tourism levy, ringfenced parking revenue, membership fees and grants (pp.66-67). next steps: gain way to go partner approval, secure funding, assign ownership and establish an interim tma working group (p.68). interim working group members are listed (p.113). mass rapid transit: the bundle contains nothing on mrt or offline pt between frankton and the town centre.

appendices to the nzup queenstown transport business case. all preparer and reviewer names are redacted under s 9(2)(a). tn36, intelligent transport systems (pp.2-9, 30 august 2020). it reviews its technologies deployable by waka kotahi, orc or qldc (table 1, p.4) and the role of transport operations centres. deloitte (2017) bcrs for nz tocs were 5.11 (auckland), 3.53 (wellington) and 8.3 (christchurch) (p.5). because a dedicated local toc would cost over $400,000 a year in staff alone, it recommends the wellington toc continue to run queenstown signals (p.5). scats priority engine is 'considered essential' for sh6a pt priority, and the 'virtual' priority was included in the business case modelling (p.6). recommendations and costs are set out at pp.8-9. tn30, high capacity public transport (pp.10-24). it is written at ibc level (p.11). it describes the post-2017 orbus network, where patronage tripled from about 500,000 to 1.5 million a year (p.11). it notes nzup's $90 million infrastructure does not include bus services, fleet or depot (p.13), and that the pt contract expires in 2027 (p.13). figure 3 shows the forecast mode shift. tn30 warns 'if this mode shift does not occur, all networks will fail', and calls the mode shift 'a level of mode shift never before attempted in new zealand' (p.14). it cites aspen's 67.8% non-car commuter mode share (p.16). the mass-transit ferry (frankton beach-steamer wharf) was discounted for high opex (about $900 per hour per ferry), limited capacity (about 800 passengers per hour) and transfer penalties. it was ruled out at an mca workshop on 2 august 2019 (p.16). the bus max network has five bus routes and one ferry route, with a 3-4 minute peak on sh6a (p.17). it is staged: - 2020-24: 360 seats per hour, 22 buses, $4.38m opex. - 2024: 873 per hour, 27 buses, $13.18m. - 2027: 1,176-1,411 per hour, 35 buses, $23.84m. - 2030: 1,393-1,671 per hour, 39 buses, $25.39m. - 2039-2051: bi-articulated buses or trackless trams, 1,802-2,500 per hour, 34-50 vehicles, $26.56m-$39.06m. these are gross uninflated 2020 dollars (pp.18-19, 23). bus performance 'starts to significantly degrade beyond around 18-20 vehicles per hour' (p.19). the bus max fleet in 2030 is estimated at $46 million (p.22). implementation issues include institutional responsibilities, fleet ownership, the roughly equal ratepayer and nltf funding shares, crown ownership of the frankton hub and depot land (pp.22-23). appendix 2 is the hcpt options mca, scoring do min, bus max, trackless tram and trackless tram max, plus a mass rapid transit option and a ferry option, against 17 criteria. a ferry is not mass rapid transit (pp.23-24). appendix c13, consenting strategy (pp.25-94). wsp preliminary rma screens cover queenstown town centre non-arterials (approved 18/06/2020), the town centre arterials (pp.33-40), and the frankton to queenstown ssbc with frankton and ladies mile (final, july 2020). the ssbc strategy covers '46 discrete locations' (p.49) and a traffic-light table of 37 references. most are outline plan waivers. alterations to designation are needed at several intersections, new designations at the sh6/6a intersection and frankton hub (where an existing qldc designation has priority), and a notice of requirement for the humphrey street link (pp.49-50). mass rapid transit: tn30 is the key deferral document. it states that 'on-road public transport can meet the expected demand until around 2051'. it says mass rapid transit 'provides a number of attractive features such as hyper-frequency (<30 seconds between gondola cabins); capacity and a great visitor/ customer experience', but that on-road options fit current frameworks and best maximise the $90 million nzup investment (p.20). it suggests 'consideration of an off-line system be put on hold and reviewed in 2028'. it notes mass rapid transit 'could be delivered by the private sector for its tourism benefits', in which case public investment in its pt benefit could be considered (p.20). the decision sought is 'board to approve that off-line pt to sh6a (e.g. a gondola) is parked and reviewed in 2028' (p.23). in the mca, mass rapid transit scores 3 on sustainably managing growth, network-event resilience, reliability, vision zero, construction impacts and masterplan alignment, and -2 on capex affordability (pp.23-24). the note does not state an overall mca result. tn36 and c13 contain no mrt content. technical notes and consenting strategy nzta (waka kotahi). appendix c11 technical note 36: intelligent transport

on-road public transport can meet the expected demand until around 2051' (p.20). it acknowledges mass rapid transit's 'hyper-frequency (<30 seconds between gondola cabins); capacity and a great visitor/ customer experience'. it prefers on-road options because they 'can feasibly be implemented under current public transport operational and procurement frameworks and are the best option to maximise the value from the $90 million nzup investment' (p.20). it suggests offline consideration 'be put on hold and reviewed in 2028 based on updated forecasts'. it adds that mass rapid transit 'does not fit well into the current legislative and public transport procurement processes but could be delivered by the private sector for its tourism benefits', and that public investment in its pt benefit could then be considered (p.20). the board decision sought is 'off-line pt to sh6a (e.g. a gondola) is parked and reviewed in 2028' (p.23). the appended mca (pp.23-24) scores mass rapid transit against do min, bus max, trackless tram, trackless tram max and ferry. mass rapid transit rates highly on reliability, resilience, construction impacts and masterplan alignment, and lower on capex affordability (-2) and modal integration (1). the note states no overall ranking. the on-road path itself relies on 'bi-articulated buses or trackless trams' from about 2039 (p.19). \"board to

partitioned by phase (p.2), and attaches the 18 march 2020 note. the method scored 17 pers street attributes before and after improvements, converted the changes to dollars using vurt, and multiplied the results by four after calibration against emerging waka kotahi research (nunns and dodge 2019) (pp.3, 7). pedestrian time is valued at nz$12/hour (p.8). street design benefits total $76.1m pv, made up of $32.1m for the inner town centre and $44.0m for the outer town centre (p.8). arterials 1+2 give $15.3m and arterial 3 gives $15.5m at 4%/60 years, or $8.2m and $8.8m at 6%/40 years (p.13). sensitivity results range from $13.1m to $52.9m (p.14). illustrative responses are retail spending up 10-15% ($30-45m p.a.) on a base of about $300m, and property value uplift of about 5-6% (~$50m),

engagement register (pp.161-176). the report concludes that concerns centred on traffic signals along sh6a and frankton and on town centre parking, and that positive comments related to pt, active travel and town centre upgrades (p.80). mass rapid transit: the engagement report records substantive public and stakeholder input on mass rapid transit. stakeholder meetings were held with remarkables park ('integrating with the gondola') and the airport ('the gondola site') (p.32). at the april 2019 market events there was 'good support and recognition that one of these options [gondola, light rail or trackless tram] would be required in the medium term' (p.44), along with mixed post-it comments on mass rapid transit (pp.47, 49). in the online survey (q19), 58.33% (84) preferred a high-capacity pt link on sh6a and 41.67% (60) mass rapid transit along queenstown hill (pp.52, 105). in q26, 70.67% supported mass rapid transit terminals at regular intervals (p.114). qac's submission asked what future-proofing was being done for mass rapid or high-frequency transit (p.148), and another submitter supported the mass rapid transit proposal, urging early planning (p.159). the engagement register lists 'landowners affected by gondola alignment' and 'gondola terminal' sites, notes a reserve where a corridor should 'ideally' be protected for the future

three projects displayed, and there was 'good support and recognition that one of these options would be required in the medium term' (p.44). online survey q19 asked about 'a future high capacity public transport link between frankton and queenstown': 58.33% chose the sh6a route, which 'would require significant road widening', and 41.67% chose 'a gondola along queenstown hill' (pp.52, 105). in q26, 70.67% supported mass rapid transit terminals at regular intervals (p.114). stakeholder meetings covered integration with mass rapid transit (remarkables park) and mass rapid transit site (airport) (p.32). qac's submission asked about future-proofing for 'mass rapid or high frequency transit options' (p.148). the engagement register lists landowners affected by mass rapid transit alignment over queenstown hill and candidate mass rapid transit terminals. for qldc reserve land the register says 'ideally would look to protect corridor for the future' (p.169). it also records qac agreement in principle to 'gondola proof of concept to connect through airport to remarkables park' (p.174) and remarkables park support (p.175). the august 2020 public booklet (b21) does not mention mass rapid transit. \"there was good support and recognition that one of these options would be required in the medium term.\" (p.44) | \"most respondents preferred using the existing route along sh6a

it was prepared by kesh keshaboina and legally reviewed by lucy riddiford (p1). programme: the programme comprises the crown infrastructure partners (cip) funded queenstown town centre street upgrades and arterials stage 1 (balance funded by qldc), nzup-funded public transport and walking and cycling upgrades on sh6 and sh6a, and wakatipu active travel network stage 1 funded through the nltp, to be delivered over four years (p2). its scale is put at circa $230m (p1). attachment 1 (p7, image) gives indicative caps: town centre street upgrades ($60m, cip cap $35m), arterials stage 1 ($65m, cip cap $50m; pt hub potential inclusion unfunded $27m), active travel stage 1 ($16m) and stage 2 ($23m funding application), and nzup ($90m, nzup cap $90m, completion 2024, then in business case phase). options: traditional, panel (qldc three waters panel) and collaborative (alliance) models were ranked, with the alliance first (p3). competitive, hybrid and pure alliances were then compared; competitive and hybrid were judged to lack time given cip and nzup deadlines, so a pure alliance was preferred (p4). expected efficiencies include single programme governance, consistent design and construction, coordinated resources, early works packages and a more attractive market proposition (p4). the alliance scope would cover design and construction; business case, property and consenting would sit outside it (p4). market: the local horizontal infrastructure market was mainly projects under $10m; qldc's three waters programme runs at about $70m a year; nzup contains $6.8bn of transport projects ($5.4bn roading) (p5). risks are the accelerated procurement timeframe, client partner alignment and commercial complexity with multiple funding sources (pp5-6). individual target outturn costs (tocs) are recommended for each project, and further projects may be allocated on a 'yours to lose' basis (p6). mass rapid transit: the paper says nothing about mass rapid transit. it mentions a future public transport interchange as a possible alliance project (p6). board committee decision paper (procurement strategy) nzta (waka kotahi). investment and delivery committee paper: queenstown transport programme procurement (2020). queenstown town centre;

total +7.5%) worsen all options, with the 4-arm worst movement at 142% (p.21). the note recommends the double-t as preferred (p.22). it also records that the 'shovel ready' funding announced 26 june 2020 was for stage 1 only (p.13). mass rapid transit: neither note mentions mass rapid transit or offline public transport. tn42 does set out the corridor strategy of capping sh6a traffic volumes near existing levels, which requires future growth to be carried by public transport (pp.10-11). technical notes (intersection traffic modelling) nzta (waka kotahi). appendix b27 technical note 42: sh6a bus signal and virtual priority (with appendix b28 queenstown arterial stages 1 and 2 – intersection optioneering) (2020). nzta contract 2018235 - f2q ssbc & qtc dbc;

'november 2020' footers) sets out current pt issues, nzup's $90m pt infrastructure and a staged bus max pathway. opex rises from $13.2m (2024) to $39.1m (2051), and the fleet is estimated at $46m (pp200-205). it cites aspen's 67.8% non-car commute share (p198). it records the mass-transit ferry being ruled out by mca (p198) and appends the same mca as tn12 (pp205-206). b7 tn18 concludes buses should not enter lakeview (p228). mass rapid transit: substantive. the long list names three mass rapid transit alignments (p8). tn12 describes queenstown–frankton (and optionally ladies mile) mass rapid transit with a travellator to the airport and a possible extension to the airport and remarkables park (pp216, 221). in the unweighted mca, mass rapid transit scores at or near the top on growth, resilience, reliability, safety and masterplan alignment, and scores -2 on capex (p220). tn12 sees mass rapid transit as the next step change by 2038. tn30 instead says on-road pt can meet demand to about 2051. it gives two main grounds: on-road options can be implemented under current pt operational and procurement frameworks and best maximise value from the $90m nzup investment, and mass rapid transit 'does not fit well' with current legislative and procurement processes. it recommends the board approve that off-line pt 'is parked and reviewed in 2028' (pp202, 205). the four circumstances for advancing mass rapid transit appear in tn12 (p224), not tn30. business case appendix bundle (options development, long list, modelling reports and public transport technical notes) nzta (waka kotahi). appendix b options assessment (b1 options development process;

repeated in tn30, pp205-206). tn12 says bus max 'would run out of capacity... by 2038 at the latest' and that 'the gondola option is the best option at this point' (p224). it lists four circumstances for advancing mass rapid transit: insufficient bus priority on sh6/sh6a, bus max capex/opex 'not forthcoming', faster demand growth, and a ppp in which the public sector funds outcomes 'capped by the actual capacity of the gondola' (p224). tn30 states on-road pt can meet demand 'until around 2051'. it gives as grounds that on-road options fit current frameworks and maximise the $90m nzup investment, and that mass rapid transit 'does not fit well into the current legislative and public transport procurement processes' (p202). it asks the board to approve that off-line pt 'is parked and reviewed in 2028' (p205). tn3b records that a mass rapid transit scenario was 'omitted for implementability reasons' (p129). \"board to approve that off-line pt to sh6a (e.g. a gondola) is parked and reviewed in 2028.\" (p.205) | \"given that the on-road public transport options are expected to have sufficient capacity for 30 years, then it is suggested that consideration of an off-line system be put on hold and reviewed in 2028 based on updated forecasts at the time and other factors at that time such as travel behavioural change and technology.\" (p.202) | \"another challenge with the gondola is that it does not fit well into the current legislative and public transport procurement processes but could be delivered by the private sector for its tourism benefits.\" (p.202) | \"we consider that the gondola option is the best option at this point, simply because it is completely independent of the road network on state highway 6a, provides hyper-frequency (every 30 seconds and possibly even less than this) and is fairly resilient to disruption, and provides for increased capacity.\" (p.224) | \"note that there might be a range of circumstances in which consideration should be given to advancing the gondola option.\" (p.224) | \"an additional scenario, gondola mrt, was tested under the previous round of demand sets but was omitted for implementability reasons before this update.\" (p.129) gondola option capex estimate $134.83 million for queenstown to frankton (tn12, p225) gondola annual opex estimate $4.9 million for queenstown to frankton;

business case – summary report the summary report (final, 12 november 2020, alan kerr) is the executive summary of the nzup queenstown business case. it was prepared for the waka kotahi, qldc, orc and way to go partners, who were seeking endorsement of the programme. it sets out the case for change: sh6a capacity was exceeded on 140 days in 2019, and non-car trips must rise from 16% to 40% by 2028 and 60% by 2048. it describes the 'three pillars' preferred programme of targeted infrastructure (nzup $90m, cip $85m), brt-style public transport and travel behaviour change. table 2 sequences 11 interventions with lead agencies, costs, bcrs and nltp periods. the final element is 'offline pt service improvements, including offline pt hubs' (waka kotahi/orc, $262m, bcr 1.7, further investigation beyond 2030). the bcr is 2.3 for the first ten years and 1.5 for the full programme. for 2021-24 the activities include a waka kotahi travel behaviour change ssbc, an orc pt services and infrastructure dbc, qldc activities (about $1.7m plus crown infrastructure partners obligations) and waka kotahi preliminary stanley st/shotover work (p.21). context and purpose: this 24-page summary report is the first component of the queenstown business case (dbc). it is reproduced as pp.1-24 of the oia-released main volume, where the author name is redacted. the project partners sought endorsement. two business cases were to follow in 2021-24: tdm led by waka kotahi and pt services and infrastructure led by orc (p.6). the study area is the wakatipu basin: queenstown town centre, frankton to queenstown, frankton and ladies mile (p.6). assurance included a challenge team (february 2020), flow modelling and ey economics peer reviews, partner and aecom reviews, arup drawings review, commute and the waka kotahi iqa (pp.6-7). case for change: peak-day population is forecast to grow from about 120,000 (2018) to 200,000 (2048) (p.8). sh6a practical capacity was exceeded on 140 days in 2019. by 2028 lake hayes estate to queenstown trips may regularly exceed 60 minutes, and private cars make up 84% of sh6a trips (p.9). the non-car share needs to rise from 16% to 40% by 2028 and to 60% by 2048 (p.9). emissions rise from 178,535t to 227,939t by 2028 under the do-minimum (p.9). the estimated economic loss without investment is $670m-$1.2 billion over 40 years (p.9). options and programme: more than 300 ideas were distilled into nine packages, with public engagement in august 2020 (p.11). the preferred programme comprises committed cip town centre works, committed nzup sh6a, ladies mile and sh6 works with bus priority and a frankton hub upgrade, and unfunded items (pp.14-15). the unfunded items are town centre upgrades, stanley street hub, arterial stages 2 and 3, a frankton road shared path, brt services with fleet moving to bi-articulated vehicles, ferry services (orc), future offline pt, tdm, parking management and its. performance: the bcr is 2.3 for elements recommended over the next ten years and 1.5 for the full programme (p.16). the programme gives a more than 100% increase in sh6a people capacity by 2028 and more than 20% pt travel time improvement. it also yields $143m of amenity webs, a 15% emissions reduction by 2048 and safety benefits of $25m-$31m (pp.16-17). sequencing and funding: table 2 (p.19) lists nzup ($106m, waka kotahi) and cip ($120m, qldc) as committed. tdm ($1.8m), pt services, on-road pt ($80m plus opex), stanley/shotover ($24m), town centre stage 2 ($17m) and arterial stage 2 ($43m) are recommended. stanley street redevelopment ($46m), arterial stage 3 ($118m) and offline pt ($262m) follow later. cash flows for the next three nltp periods exclude arterial stage 3 and offline pt (p.20). next-period costs are waka kotahi $1,722,821, orc $1,500,000 and qldc $1,695,243 plus cip obligations (p.21). commercial and management: an alliance between waka kotahi and qldc was to secure a supplier in q4 2020. property is on the critical path, and one of 37 nzup consent locations is complex (p.22). key risks are funding misalignment, property availability, slow decisions, interface misalignment, loss of community support and design changes (p.22). mass rapid transit: the report does not use the word 'gondola'. it describes 'future offline public transport services that provide a further step change in capacity along with additional resilience and experiential benefits', requiring offline hubs in frankton and queenstown (p.15). it says a 'future offline corridor improves resilience of frankton to queenstown journey' (p.16) and gives the offline pt line in table 2 as $262m, bcr 1.7, 'other activities – for later re-evaluation', beyond 2030 (p.19). offline pt is excluded from the cash-flow graphs (p.20). business case summary report (executive summary) way to go partnership, nzta (waka kotahi), qldc, orc. queenstown business case – summary report (2020). wakatipu basin; queenstown town

transport services that provide a further step change in capacity along with additional resilience and experiential benefits. this will require the development of offline public transport hubs in both frankton and queenstown' (p.15). under the resilience objective it states that a 'future offline corridor improves resilience of frankton to queenstown journey' (p.16). it adds that 'longer term, the provision of an offline public transport link between frankton and queenstown will deliver an alternative corridor that provides full separation from the road network' (p.17). table 2 records 'offline

p.70), structures including an overpass (pp.71-72), stormwater, landscaping, and a note that construction methodology has not been considered in detail (p.76). c5 frankton and frankton to queenstown pdps (pp.77-103): the physical widening needed for bus lanes along all of frankton road would have 'significant social..., environmental, and financial (approx. $400m) impacts' (p.85). the philosophy is therefore physical bus lanes on sh6 in frankton, with the sh6/6a intersection as a 'valve' to cap sh6a traffic, and virtual and targeted bus priority on sh6a (p.85). figure 2-3, 'response to travel demand', shows people movements growing 6.1% p.a. to 2028 and 1.6% p.a. beyond. it shows bus spare capacity, then 'hcpt spare capacity' from about 2030, illustrated with trackless tram and mass rapid transit icons (p.86). c5 refers to technical note #30 high capacity public transport (p.87). it sets out walking and cycling philosophy, design standards and typical sections, environmental screening by option (do min, virtual priority, trackless tram, 4 laning) (pp.95-96), and the queenstown tdm programme (table 3-6) with responsible organisations (pp.96-100). it also covers maintenance (17 new signal sets; operation by wellington toc; p.100-101) and construction sequencing (pp.101-102). c6 preliminary pavement design (pp.104-138): this gives feasibility-level pavement designs for the arterials, bus lanes, sh6/6a and frankton bus hub (pp.109-114). it includes a trackless tram pavement for a 51-tonne three-car set, requiring about 200 mm structural asphalt over stabilised or granular layers, with information from crrc (p.115). modelling outputs follow (pp.118-137). mass rapid transit: c5 states that the design response to future demand is to grow on-road pt capacity 'and to then provide an off-line system (likely a gondola) once the sh6a corridor has reached capacity' (p.86). figure 2-3 depicts high-capacity pt capacity from about 2030 (p.86). c6 provides a preliminary trackless tram pavement design (p.115). neither c4 nor c5 includes design provisions or corridor protection for an offline mass rapid transit. c4's brecon street references are to the existing skyline gondola only. preliminary design philosophy statements and pavement design report nzta (waka kotahi). appendix c4 queenstown town centre preliminary design philosophy statement (with appendix c5 frankton preliminary design philosophy statement and appendix c6 preliminary pavement design report) (2020). stantec project no. 310201227;

the f2q ilm was reviewed in february 2020 (p.37). investment objectives cover efficient and reliable access, adaptability to change and disruption, liveability and the built and natural environment, and safety towards vision zero (pp.41-44). evidence: sh6a car capacity was 'all but reached by 2018'. the majority of growth can only be catered for 'by increasing road capacity over the entire network or by providing high capacity public transport'. 40% of sh6a trips must be non-car by 2028 and 60% by 2048 (p.56). resilience is treated as 'to some extent a secondary problem' (p.57). safety and amenity evidence and the implications of not investing follow (pp.60-67), then opportunities, constraints and resort-town case studies (pp.67-70). engagement: five workshops ran from september 2018 to march 2020 (p.71). community consultation gathered 349 online responses and discussions with more than 230 people (p.72). conclusion: a 'different pathway' through the three pillars is needed, and 'now is the time to address these challenges' (p.75). mass rapid transit: the report recalls that the qit pbc priority projects included 'a mass rapid transit (mrt) corridor between queenstown and frankton'. its figure 5 'indicates a gondola over queenstown hill as a mrt option, though bus rapid transit and light rail are also suggested' (p.11). it notes that the spatial plan recognises transport can drive land use change 'such as around a mass rapid transit route' (p.23), and that the frankton masterplan aims at 'enabling high frequency, high capacity public transport in the future' (p.27). it identifies hcpt as an opportunity to 'enable development and build density' (p.67). it does not assess mass rapid transit;

wsp new zealand) reports the methodology and results of future scenario modelling for the queenstown town centre, frankton to queenstown, and frankton transport business case, including the outputs used in its economic evaluation and later sensitivity tests (p.1). it follows technical note 3 (model build) and technical note 3a (shortlist option testing) (p.1). method: future demand comes from the tracks model maintained by abley transportation consultants on behalf of qldc and waka kotahi, using 2028 and 2048 scenarios (pp.1-2). two 2048 sensitivity sets were added: the preferred spatial plan growth distribution (more development near jacks point, 2,580 fewer jobs in the queenstown urban area) and a post-covid-19 set with reduced tourist activity (p.2). car trips in the am peak grow from 14,851 (2018) to 22,821 (2028) and 30,857 (2048) in the business case demand set (p.3). the spreadsheet model calculates mode share for each origin-destination pair and iterates with link travel times to convergence (p.3). key assumptions include bus fare $2 and ferry $4.90, a mode penalty of $5 for bus and $7 for ferry, 40-seat buses (bus max services double-decker or articulated, capacity 100), airport passengers of 3.2m (2028) and 5.1m (2048), and town centre parking costs rising from $3.66 (2018 am peak) to $13.78 (2028) and $20.66 (2048) (p.5). no active mode demand, peak spreading or tdm is modelled (pp.5-6). park and ride sites are assumed at sh6/howards drive and sh6/boyd road (p.6). the note states the parking cost increase is 'a major driver in the increased pt model share' for town centre trips (p.6). scenarios: with the latest demand sets only do minimum and the nzup scenario (closest to the earlier bus max option) were tested (p.3). nzup uses a 'one-seat-ride' bus network, an improved kelvin heights-town centre bus-ferry link, and 'virtual priority' for buses on sh6a, with physical priority through frankton flats and a westbound ladies mile bus lane and bus gate (pp.3-4). earlier option assessment had included bus min, bus max, trackless tram, mass rapid transit mrt and ferry option; bus max was preferred (p.4). results: on sh6a in 2028, nzup gives volume/capacity of 82-86% while do minimum exceeds capacity (p.7). for example, in the 2028 am peak westbound the business case nzup scenario carries 23% by bus and 13% by park and ride, against 15% by bus under do minimum (p.8). by 2048 demand 'is expected to reach close to, or exceed, capacity' on sh6a under all scenarios (p.7). pt mode share at the shotover bridge peaks at around 20% compared with around 45% on sh6a at 2028, attributed to dispersed frankton land use, transfers and lack of frankton parking control (p.10); at kawarau falls bridge it peaks at around 25% (p.13). spatial plan and covid-19 sensitivity sets had 'limited impact on projected public transport patronage' (p.16). at 75% of the assumed parking cost, the degree of saturation on frankton road approaches 100% (p.16). conclusions: nzup retains a high degree of mode shift over do minimum, particularly at 2048; 'sticks' such as parking control 'appear to be critical'; the land use and first/last mile access assumed on ladies mile does not sufficiently support pt; and southern housing areas should be designed with pt as a priority (p.16). appendices (pp.17-50) give the nzup pt network, hub passenger movements and origin-destination matrices by mode, including mrt columns that are zero throughout. mass rapid transit: the note records that 'an additional scenario, gondola mrt, was tested under the previous round of demand sets but was omitted for implementability reasons before this update' (p.3). it lists mass rapid transit mrt, ferry option and trackless tram among previously tested high capacity public transport scenarios, says the trackless tram 'achieved the highest mode shift' but feasibility issues led to bus max being preferred, and that only bus max (nzup) was tested with updated demand (p.4). it gives no mass rapid transit results and does not explain the implementability reasons. model output tables carry an mrt mode row with zero trips (pp.8-15, 21-50). technical note (public transport demand modelling) wakatipu basin future public transport demand analysis – technical note 3b – future scenarios update (sept 2020) (2020). wakatipu basin;

only the do minimum and the nzup bus package were modelled with updated demand. that bus package is not mass rapid transit. a ferry scenario in the earlier set is not mass rapid transit either. the note states that 'an additional scenario, gondola mrt, was tested under the previous round of demand sets but was omitted for implementability reasons before this update' (p.3). it lists the high capacity public transport scenarios from the business case option assessment as bus min, bus max, trackless tram (or similar road-based higher capacity rapid transit), mass rapid transit mrt and ferry option, and says earlier modelling 'helped to identify bus max as the preferred option' (p.4). it notes that the trackless tram 'achieved the highest mode shift because of a lower mode penalty' but that feasibility issues led to bus max being preferred, so 'only the bus max option (now the pt assumptions within the nzup package) was tested with the updated demand sets' (p.4). no mass rapid transit patronage or results are reported, and the implementability reasons are not set out. the mrt rows in the point summaries and appendix matrices show zero trips because no mrt mode was included in the scenarios tested (pp.8-15, 21-50). the note also finds sh6a demand close to or above capacity by 2048 in all tested scenarios (p.7). \"an additional scenario, gondola mrt, was tested under the previous round of demand sets but was omitted for implementability reasons before this update.\" (p.3) | \"the trackless tram option achieved the highest mode shift because of a lower 'mode penalty' but is largely interchangeable with the bus max option in terms of infrastructure. feasibility issues with the trackless tram option led to bus max being preferred.\" (p.4) | \"notably, demand is expected to reach close to, or exceed, capacity in 2048 under all scenarios, even with more stringent parking controls and improvements to public transport.\" (p.7) am peak car trips: 14,851 (2018), 22,821 (2028), 30,857 (2048) business case demand set (p.3) town centre parking cost (am inbound): $3.66 (2018), $13.78 (2028), $20.66 (2048) (p.5) bus fare $2, ferry $4.90;

virtual priority was preferred. preferred programme: the three pillars are targeted infrastructure, brt-style pt services (fleet upgraded towards bi-articulated 'trackless tram' vehicles), and travel behaviour change including parking management (pp.12-15). committed works are nzup ($106m in the sequencing table, against $90m approved and a $16.2m shortfall, p.290) and cip ($120m including arterials stage 1). recommended items needing funding approval are tdm ($1.8m), pt services, on-road pt ($80m plus opex rising to $24m a year by 2027), stanley/shotover streets ($24m), town centre stage 2 ($17m) and arterial stage 2 ($43m). later items are stanley street redevelopment ($46m), arterial stage 3 ($118m; $61m in the financial case, p.268) and offline pt ($262m) (p.19). for 2021-24 the activities are a waka kotahi tdm ssbc ($1.72m), an orc pt services and infrastructure dbc ($1.5m) and qldc's cip obligations ($1.70m) (p.21). economics: the case uses 60-year npvs at a 4% discount rate (p.249). the pt services and infrastructure programme costs $162m against $374m of benefits (bcr 2.3). the full programme, excluding phase 8, costs $295m against $445m (bcr 1.5) (p.250). phase 2 (nzup-enabled pt services) has a bcr of 3.3 (p.249). sensitivity tests keep the bcr above 1.0 (p.251). benefits depend on mode shift through 'effective parking management and travel demand management' (p.251). delivery: the waka kotahi/qldc alliance was tendered on 2 october 2020 (p.279). leads for the remainder are qldc (local assets), waka kotahi (state highway) and orc (pt) (p.291). key risks include funding misalignment, property, slow decisions and interface misalignment (p.22). assurance: reviews came from an independent challenge team (pete clark, geoff cooper, barry mein), partner reviewers (tony sizemore, garry maloney, tony pickard), aecom, arup, matthew roberts (qldc), commute, flow and ey, and the waka kotahi iqa (pp.314-315, 404). commute found the case 'fit for purpose' (p.410). ey called the web analysis 'robust and defensible' (p.436). mass rapid transit: mrt was in scope from the start, renamed hcpt and assessed only to ibc level (pp.34, 111). the mass rapid transit passed the august 2019 mca (p.133). it was 'not taken forward to the preferred programme... as it falls well outside of the next few nltp periods' (p.134), but stays as phase 8 with waka kotahi/orc as lead (p.19). the management case instead lists orc/qldc for an offline pt corridor business case update and route protection beyond 2030 (p.297). phase 8 timing is given as '2050+' (p.194), with an assumed implementation date of 2051 in the economic case (p.248). the economic case gives phase 8 a 60-year npv cost of $114m, $187m of benefits (all unmet-demand webs) and a bcr of 1.6 (pp.247, 249);

it also asked to 'state which is the preferred option as offline pt service' (p.50). when matthew roberts asked for detail on co-funding offline pt, the response was that 'offline pt is too far in the future and too uncertain', and that 'some form of sponsorship agreement could be reached' (p.69). source: nzta's copy released under the official information act 1982 (oia-23524, 16 october 2026), with individual names withheld under section 9(2)(a). business case assurance chapter with peer review reports and responses way to go partnership, nzta (waka kotahi), qldc, orc. queenstown business case – assurance process (2020). commute report j00886 (appended, p.98). wakatipu basin;

printed page numbers are 8 lower. baseline: using the tonkin & taylor ghg inventory for 2019, gross district emissions were 659,274 tco2e, of which road transport was 241,755 tco2e (36.7%), agriculture 171,923 (26.1%), victoria flats landfill 88,011 (13.3%), domestic transboundary aviation 64,670 (9.8%), electricity 45,822 (7.0%) and lpg 30,200 (4.6%) (p.14). method: three scenarios (business as usual, modest change, high change) are combined with three population projections to give nine pathways (pp.18-19). business as usual scales 2019 per-capita emissions with population (p.22). marginal abatement costs (macs), at a 6% discount rate, inform technology start dates and uptake (p.57). road transport: options modelled include public transport and ride sharing on sh6a between frankton and queenstown, conversion of light vehicles to battery electric, heavy vehicle efficiency, telemetrics, trucking collaboration, and heavy vehicle conversion to battery electric, biodiesel (g2) and hydrogen (p.26). the mode shift input is 60% (modest) or 80% (high) mode shift by 2050 for journeys on sh6a between frankton and queenstown, the modest figure 'based on the mot base case used in the abley transport model' (p.28). the report says mode shift 'will provide modest emissions savings for the district', while light passenger and commercial vehicles produce about 79% of road transport emissions, so electrification gives the greatest savings (p.28). a behaviour change placeholder is set at 0% in both pathways (p.29). full light-vehicle electrification would need around 280 gwh/year, compared with queenstown's 2019 use of 261 gwh, and could add 70 mw to peak demand (p.29). no mac was estimated for mode shift (p.58). results: modest change gives 44% savings by 2050 against business as usual, led by road transport, landfill, aviation, agriculture and lpg (p.51). high change gives much deeper reductions, including a 2040 step from an assumed pyrolysis plant (p.52). high change 'will only just achieve' the combined well-below-2°c science based target and biogenic methane target; the 1.5°c combined target 'will not be achieved by either pathway' (p.54). the cap transport outcome budget falls from 307,800 tco2e in 2020 to 276,600 (modest) or 79,700 (high) in 2050 (p.56). about 233 ktco2e/year would need to be sequestered in 2050 under high change; plantings of around 17,320 ha (under 2% of the district) could sequester over 400 ktco2e/year, with significant landscape and land ownership challenges (pp.10-11, 69). costs: mfe estimates of macs for electrifying light commercial and light passenger vehicles are about -$300/tco2e and -$170/tco2e over 2020-2030 (p.59). heavy truck electrification is expected to become cost-effective within five years; biodiesel and hydrogen keep positive abatement costs but are described as necessary (p.66). switching from lpg is cost-effective for commercial and new builds (p.66). recommendations: the authors hope qldc 'will be bold and ambitious, aiming for the high change pathway', which will need regulatory, policy and community engagement levers (p.70). subsector next steps include full modelling of the district transport network, engagement with airlines and queenstown airport, agricultural trials, engagement with aurora and lpg suppliers, better wastewater emission factors, investigation of a pyrolysis plant, and a verified qldc carbon inventory (pp.70-71). mass rapid transit: the report says nothing about mass rapid transit or offline public transport. it assumes a 60-80% mode shift to public transport and active travel on sh6a between frankton and queenstown by 2050 (p.28) but does not identify the transport infrastructure or services needed to achieve it. emissions reduction roadmap / scenario modelling report qldc. emissions reduction roadmap: pathway to science based targets – scenarios for queenstown lakes district (2020). queenstown lakes district (whole district);

july 2021 in the page footers. it sets spatial strategies, maps and priority initiatives for growth across the district. the authorship is the grow well | whaiora partnership; the extract itself does not list the partner organisations or any individual authors. transport: map 13 ('queenstown lakes - transport') identifies key constraints including the shotover bridge, sh6a frankton-town centre, the albert town bridge and the edith cavell bridge, and notes some elements are 'identified in waka kotahi arataki version2 july 2021' (p.1). the accompanying text, 'queenstown's future integrated transport system', describes a multimodal package of a much improved walking and cycling network, enhanced ferry services and a frequent public transport system (p.1). the backbone is a frequent public transport network initially between queenstown town centre and frankton, eventually extending east to ladies mile and south to jacks point / homestead bay via the airport and remarkables park, with services at least every 10 minutes during the day (p.1). it 'will initially use buses with bus lanes and priority over cars at key intersections, along with a new bus hub on sh6', and is 'designed to be scalable and can be upgraded as demand increases to higher capacity buses and modes, such as a trackless tram' (p.1). government has allocated $175m towards the initial stage via the new zealand upgrade programme and the covid-19 economic stimulus package, with initial works expected to be completed by 2024 (p.1). maps 14 and 15 show existing, planned and vision frequent and regular public transport services, active mode networks, ferry, park and ride, major interchanges and a sub-regional network (p.2). tourism (outcome 3): strategy 8 calls for a destination management strategy; strategy 9 notes that by 2031 almost 150,000 people could be in the district at the summer peak, over 90,000 of them visitors, and seeks a more equitable infrastructure funding stream, citing the 2019 referendum support for a visitor accommodation levy (p.4). strategy 10 seeks to promote a car-free destination by encouraging visitors to use public transport, walking and cycling, and presents an aspirational sub-regional network concept linking queenstown, wānaka and cromwell (p.5). neighbourhoods and economy (outcomes 4-5): strategies 11-13 address everyday needs, design guidance and the blue-green network, with education and health facility needs (pp.7-10). strategies 14-16 address economic diversification (tourism accounted for 63% of jobs and 55% of gdp before covid-19), space for business (an additional 10,000-15,000 jobs over 30 years, with queenstown town centre and frankton the major wakatipu employment hubs), and efficient connections, noting that moving people by public transport, walking and cycling will assist freight reliability 'particularly in constrained parts of the network such as between frankton and the queenstown town centre' (pp.11-13). estimated additional business space demand 2016-2046 is shown as 16.2 ha, 38.1 ha and 33.4 ha across industrial, retail and commercial categories (p.12; category-to-figure mapping unclear in extracted text). implementation: the joint work programme lists 22 priority initiatives across five outcomes (p.15). an implementation plan setting out responsibilities and timeframes was to be developed and reviewed annually, and the spatial plan was to be reviewed and updated in 2024 (p.15). a monitoring programme will track delivery and growth (p.15). mass rapid transit: its only reference to a higher-capacity mode is that the bus-based frequent public transport network between the town centre and frankton is scalable 'to higher capacity buses and modes, such as a trackless tram' (p.1).

the network is described as scalable. context and purpose: better ways to go was developed by the way to go partnership of nzta (waka kotahi), otago regional council (orc) and queenstown lakes district council (qldc) in response to the minister of transport's request under the national mode shift plan keeping cities moving that each high-growth urban area set out how it will increase walking, cycling and public transport (pp.3, 6). it is a 'live document' to signal the nature and timing of investment for upcoming ltps, the rltp 2021–31 and the nltp (pp.3, 5–6). the district has over 50,000 residents and 2 million visitors a year (p.6); the spatial plan projects average-day population growing from 66,000 (2022) to 123,000 (2052), and peak-day from 102,000 to 202,000 (p.10). transport context: about 16,000 residents work; two-thirds travel by car, 14% walk, 5% bus and 3% cycle (p.14). sh6a linking frankton and the town centre 'is nearing capacity with limited ability to increase due to property and topographical constraints' (p.14). bus patronage rose sharply after the late-2017 network, parking and $2 fare changes (236% monthly increase november 2017–2018) (p.15). late-2018 modelling found traffic would grow 'to a level shortly after 2028 where duplication of frankton sh6a would become necessary'; investigations found this 'not feasible given the geology of the area and the costs involved', so the partners prefer 'a strong mode shift strategy that will require 40% of all trips to be made by bus (and other modes) along this corridor, and 60% by 2048' (p.15). sh6 sections also need duplication post-2028; instead dedicated bus priority on sh6 and sh6a is envisaged (p.15). strategic direction: the plan draws on national climate targets (e.g. 20% reduction in light-vehicle vkt by 2035), the nps-ud, gps, arataki, the rltp, the otago rptp, the spatial plan, the climate and biodiversity plan and the draft destination management plan (pp.17–20). mode shift plan: table 1 lists initiatives under three areas (p.21). shaping urban form: spatial plan, masterplans (ladies mile, frankton, wānaka), nps-ud, locating facilities near 'high quality public transport (ideally rapid transit)' (p.22). infrastructure and services: a frequent public transport network, initially town centre to frankton then to ladies mile and jacks point/homestead bay, using buses with bus lanes and priority; 'designed to be scalable and can be upgraded as demand increases to accommodate a higher capacity'; $200m allocated to the initial stage through nzup and the economic stimulus package, works after 2024 (p.22). also bus hubs, airport facilities, park and ride, a step change with new pt contracts in 2027, potential enhanced ferry services, and the wakatipu active travel network (pp.22–23). the executive summary cites $115m nzup for pt priority on sh6/6a and $85m crown infrastructure partners funding for town centre works (p.5). influencing travel: tdm, school and workplace travel planning (estimated additional 10% reduction in car use in 70% of cases), parking management and a parking strategy (pp.25–26). implementation: funding beyond nzup (crown-funded, waka kotahi-led) and the stimulus package depends on successive ltps, the rltp and nltp (p.26). qldc is developing a monitoring plan; mode shift targets will be set through business cases, not district-wide (p.27). appendix 1 sets out initiatives, lead agencies and timings as at march 2022 (pp.27–28); appendix 2 lists potential measures with 2018 baselines, e.g. 59% single-occupant journey to work and 5% pt (p.29). mass rapid transit: the plan does not propose mass rapid transit. the only cableway reference is to the existing skyline gondola as the end point of the town centre street upgrades (p.5). it refers to locating facilities near 'rapid transit' as a general principle (p.22) and says the bus-based frequent network is scalable to higher capacity (p.22). it records that sh6a duplication is not feasible and that 40–60% non-car mode share is needed on the corridor (p.15), but identifies buses on sh6a as the means. mode shift plan better ways to go – more people walking, cycling and using public transport in the queenstown lakes district (mode shift plan) (2022). queenstown lakes district; whakatipu basin (queenstown town centre, frankton, sh6a, sh6, ladies mile, southern corridor); wānaka / upper clutha published may 2022 ('live document', progress as at march 2022) no mass rapid transit proposal. the frequent network is an ordinary bus service, described as scalable to an unnamed higher capacity; that bus service is not mass rapid transit. a planning principle refers to facilities near rapid transit. the plan contains no proposal for mass rapid transit between frankton and the town centre. its references are passing. as an urban form principle it lists 'locating significant public facilities near high quality public transport (ideally rapid transit)' (p.22). the frequent public transport network 'will initially use buses with bus lanes and priority over cars' and 'is designed to be scalable and can be upgraded as demand increases to accommodate a higher capacity' (p.22), but no higher-capacity mode is named. it records that modelling showed sh6a duplication would become necessary shortly after 2028, that this is 'not feasible given the geology of the area and the costs involved', and that the partners instead prefer a strategy requiring 40% of trips on the corridor by bus and other modes, and 60% by 2048 (p.15). the word 'gondola' appears only as the end point of the town centre street upgrades ('from the queenstown gardens to the gondola') (p.5). \"such a move is not feasible given the geology of the area and the costs involved, preferring instead to pursue a strong mode shift strategy that will require 40% of all trips to be made by bus (and other modes) along this corridor, and 60% by 2048.\" (p.15) | \"the frequent network will initially use buses with bus lanes and priority over cars at key intersections, along with a new bus hub on sh6 making for reliable journey times across peak periods. the system is designed to be scalable and can be upgraded as demand increases to accommodate a higher capacity.\" (p.22) | \"locating significant public facilities near high quality public transport (ideally rapid transit).\" (p.22) average-day population 66,000 (2022) to 123,000 (2052);

about $10,000-$14,000 per day). property is the key programme risk. an early works toc of about $8.0 m was on hold. an initial minimum viable package (sh6/sh6a, sh6a north frankton, howards drive roundabout) was put at about $140 m. the paper asks the governance group whether to rescope to the baseline budget, seek a budget increase, or both. context and purpose: paper to the nzup governance group for its 10 may 2022 meeting, authored by richard osborne and approved by robyn elston (p1). it updates the group on scope, budget, programme, minimum viable projects and risks, and asks for guidance on rescoping to the baseline budget, seeking a budget increase, or both (p1). background (p2): the queenstown transport business case (qtbc) was completed in november 2020 and endorsed by the way to go partners in early 2021. nzup funding covers sh6a corridor improvements (targeted bus lanes and virtual priority at signalised intersections), sh6 frankton to ladies mile improvements, and grant road to kawarau falls bridge improvements including the frankton bus hub and sh6/sh6a intersection. the alliance was set up in december 2020 under an interim programme alliance agreement. costs (pp2-3): the $115 m baseline was based on qtbc estimates with a parallel estimate by bond cm (0.6% difference), using a traditional delivery model. a march 2022 review gave an advanced estimate of $177.4 m (+$62.4 m). table 1 lists: waka kotahi indirect costs $9.56 m to $15.95 m; direct costs $3.42 m; alliance management toc $18.30 m (new); property $15.85 m to $24.53 m; design $4.51 m to $8.62 m; construction $80.56 m to $94.17 m; escalation (p50) $7.96 m. total p&g is 26% of programme delivery costs, and p50 project contingency is a further $19.8 m (p3). alliance management costs are about $10,000-$14,000 per day (p1). frankton north (pp3-5): 2020 district plan rezoning and an environment court order changed frankton north to mixed use and residential, with forecast added 2028 peak flows of about 1,778-2,344 vehicles. signalised intersections at sh6/hawthorne drive and grant road would need about 2,230 m2 of extra land; cost rises from $24.28 m to $47.44 m (+$23.2 m) (p4). funding options include rma mitigation by developers and swapping $2.1 m of hif underpass funding (p4-5). programme and minimum viable projects (pp5-6, app b): an early works toc (about $8.0 m) is on hold. property is the key risk. a minimum viable set at the sh6/sh6a intersection, sh6a north frankton and the howards drive roundabout would need about $140 m (p5). table c1 compares do-nothing (<$30m), minimum scope (<$115m), reduced scope (about $140m) and full package (about $170m) (pp10-11). the alliance was continuing work on the full programme, with 30% design due august 2022 and independent pricing by 31 october 2022 (pp1, 6). mass rapid transit: the paper says nothing about mass rapid transit. governance group briefing paper nzta (waka kotahi). nzup governance group: nzup queenstown package update (2022). frankton;

thinkplace, proxima consulting and anna pollock were engaged at earlier stages (p.58). engagement from 2021 included design forums, an operators' forum, 60+ interviews and a public draft; the plan was finalised and presented for endorsement by the council, dq board and lwt board in february 2023 (pp.57, 61). it will be reviewed every three years (p.58). current state: visitor expenditure grew from $1.3b (2009) to $3.1b (2019), with about 3 million visitors a year; tourism was 41% of gdp and 58% of employment in 2019 (p.9). gross district emissions are estimated at 600,895 tco2e; on/off-road transportation is 27% and aviation 17% (p.10). issues include public support for tourism, decarbonisation, hidden costs and benefits, lack of data, economic diversification, and workforce and housing (pp.9–10). plan structure: the keystone project is for the visitor economy to reach carbon zero by 2030, taking responsibility for scope 3 emissions 'from air travel and ground transportation' (pp.4–5). four strategies are: mitigate emissions with clean-energy solutions; understand optimal visitation levels and focus on value; evolve marketing toward lower-carbon, higher-value segments; and invest in carbon removal (pp.6, 29). pillar 1 (enrich communities and enhance the visitor experience) has projects 1–6; pillar 2 (restore the environment and decarbonise) has projects 7–11; pillar 3 (economic resilience, capability and productivity) has projects 12–19; four foundational projects cover governance, operationalising projects, data and brand/marketing (p.21). project 13 supports a visitor levy 'such as the one proposed by qldc' so residents do not pay costs that should be covered by visitors (p.34). transport content: project 9's known actions include reducing 'polluting emissions from road vehicles and relieve traffic congestion by improving infrastructure and changing traveller behaviour', including ev charging, encouraging visitors to use public transport, cycling and walking, ev and e-bike touring routes, walking and cycling networks, fewer and fuller visitor vehicle trips (e.g. an ev or hybrid airport shuttle), and advocacy 'for improved public transport services and trials of non-fossil fuel vehicles', possibly 'trialling an electric public transport system' (p.30). project 9 'needs to align with and supercharge the spatial plan, the climate and biodiversity plan and qldc transport plan' (p.29). appendix 2 notes road transport is 20% of district emissions, orc is responsible for public transport, and qldc is partnering with orc to improve the bus network and decarbonise the fleet (p.53). governance and implementation: an independent governance group oversees the plan; the destination management group assigns task forces, which follow a 7-30-90 day model and report after 12 months (pp.43, 45). essential year-one projects are the four foundations, projects 9, 12, 14, 8 and 2 (p.45). mass rapid transit: the document says nothing about mass rapid transit. its transport references concern decarbonising visitor travel, and include general advocacy for improved public transport and a possible electric public transport trial (p.30). regenerative tourism / destination management plan travel to a thriving future – haereka whakamu ki to ao taurikura – a regenerative tourism plan – te mahere whakahaumanu tāpoi (2023). queenstown lakes district (queenstown, wānaka, arrowtown, glenorchy, kingston, makarora) final (plan finalised and presented for endorsement, february 2023) no mass rapid transit reference;

full timetables returned on 1 june 2023 and june was 7% above 2018/19 (pp.23, 28). ferry patronage was 104,240, up 74%, with fare revenue up 244% (pp.23, 30). recommendation: note. 8.5 queenstown public transport services business case update (ops2331): a long list was assessed by multicriteria analysis with way2go partners; a short list of three options was agreed, including 'bus max' and a 'spine corridor from jacks point to queenstown town centre route, connecting with other services at the frankton hub', with sensitivity tests of an arrowtown–malaghans road route and a new kawarau river bridge to remarkables park; bi-articulated buses were assessed (pp.39–40). reference case assumptions were reset for changed nzup timing (p.40). the report states benefits depend on 'a whole package' including 'pricing and availability of parking', and that 'the provision of more frequent and higher capacity services cannot deliver the whole intent of mode-shift' (p.40). risks: nzup may not be fully deliverable within its funding envelope or through the nltf amid 'significant funding constraints for the next national land transport programme'; sh6a bus priority (virtual priority at signals, pedestrian access) needs funding; fernhill and sunshine bay reliability needs bus priority or reduced traffic on lake esplanade and shotover street (p.41). the contract value is $963,852.00 (p.41). the draft business case moves to q4 2023; next steps include the strategic case, indicative costings for ltp and rltp, the emerging preferred option and consultation (p.42). recommendations: note the report and note the q4 2023 delivery (p.39). 8.6 connectivity strategy (ops2332): a regional strategy comprising a mode shift plan, active travel strategy, new rptp and prioritised delivery plan, over 9–12 months (pp.43–44). recommendations: note; endorse the approach and project plan; approve a 'hybrid approach' to resourcing; note ongoing expenditure subject to ltp; receive updates (p.44). mass rapid transit: the agenda says nothing about mass rapid transit. the qptbc short list is bus-based (bus max and a bus spine via frankton), and 'higher capacity services' refers to buses (p.40). committee agenda public and active transport committee 9 august 2023 – agenda (2023). reports ops2328, ops2334, ops2330, ops2329, ops2331, ops2332. otago region;

pm peak delays of 3–10 minutes sh6 eastbound and 1–16 minutes on hawthorne drive (p.8). about 90% of peak-direction delay occurs on the approach side of the shotover bridge (p.8). capacity: mr smith estimates shotover bridge capacity at 1,590 vehicles per lane per hour (1,560 using austroads), within a 1,515–1,600 range, versus 1,700 quoted by mr shields from waka kotahi's submission, which he describes as an upper limit for a rural corridor (pp.9–10). performance deteriorates before theoretical capacity is reached (p.10). future investment: the nzup queenstown package includes signals between sh6/6a and hawthorne drive, westbound bus lanes on ladies mile, a howards drive roundabout with underpass, bus lanes between hardware lane and sh6/6a, and sh6a improvements (pp.10–11). timing is uncertain, and waka kotahi does not intend to upgrade, replace or duplicate the shotover bridge, so 'removing people from their cars and attracting them to public transport is essential to increasing the people movement capacity of the corridor' (p.11). impacts: with tplm, modelled bridge flows are 1,814 westbound am (+14%) and 1,923 eastbound pm (+21%) without mode shift; with the wsp-modelled mode shift, 1,581 westbound am and 1,710 eastbound pm (+8%) (p.14). sidra modelling shows up to 209 vehicles queued on sh6 east of stalker road (about 1.5 km) and a combined queue of about 341 vehicles or 2.4 km; 2053 sh6 westbound am delay of 16–17 minutes (pp.15). he concludes tplm 'will result in further deterioration in the performance of the key intersections along sh6 ladies mile' (p.16). risks: delivery of nzup; local bus priority; behaviour change, as the assessment relies on a shift to 20–21% public transport mode share across the bridge from a 3.3% journey-to-work share; and timing of schools and employment within tplm (pp.17–18). recommendations: signals at sh6/stalker road and howards drive with a 60 km/h urbanised corridor; further design and modelling; staging non-residential development early; completing key nzup components before any development; stalker road and local bus priority; traffic monitoring and travel planning; integrated transport assessments for all consent applications; and ongoing way to go collaboration (pp.18–24). mass rapid transit: the document says nothing about mass rapid transit. its people-moving solution for the shotover bridge constraint is bus priority through nzup and wider public transport investment. expert statement of evidence (traffic) under the rma, with tomtom data technical note appendix nzta (waka kotahi). statement of evidence of david john robert smith for waka kotahi – traffic (te pūtahi ladies mile plan variation) (2023). waka kotahi submitter 62 (file name);

On Queenstown, it states that cost estimates significantly exceed the $130 million allocation. As directed by the Governance Group and Board in April 2023, the project is producing a complete design, total outturn cost and reconciliation for a reduced package: the SH6/6A intersection, Frankton bus hub and Howards Drive roundabout.

council's expert) and dave smith (abley; for nzta (waka kotahi)) (p.1). question 1 – aspen comparison: mr shields gives the wider queenstown population as 33,860 over 156.7 km² (statistics nz 2023 estimates for sa2s with nearby public transport) and aspen at 10,390 over 83.7 km² (p.1), with mesh-block population maps and bus network maps for both, including aspen's velocirfta bus rapid transit (pp.2–7, largely image pages). question 2 – additional sh6 access: the panel asked whether a new sh6 access, consented for a café/gallery reuse of the glenpanel homestead and said to be designed for 180 unconsented dwellings, would be appropriate in a 60 km/h environment, and in what form (p.8). mr smith (technical note 3, revision a, 18 december 2023) answers that an additional access would be appropriate if sh6 were redesigned and posted as 60 km/h, and could support urbanisation; a left-in/left-out configuration if howards drive is a roundabout, or signals if howards drive is signalised (p.12). mr shields considers there is no nzta agreement for 180 residential units on the access, no orc agreement for bus services, and nzta described the access as temporary until the east–west collector road is built (pp.8–9). his sidra assessment of the nzup howards drive roundabout shows a 75-vehicle am queue on the sh6 east approach even without tplm development, so it does not free capacity (p.9). he notes council recommends no development until bus lanes west of the bridge are complete (p.9). he does not consider an additional access appropriate; if the panel allows a permanent one, it should be signalised (p.10). appendix b: nzta's 2022 comment on the flint's park fast-track application (epa ftc000049; richard shaw, team leader south) states sh6 is at capacity in the am peak and 'mode shift at an unprecedented level is necessary' (p.18), supports a 180-unit cap until the collector road is built, and seeks an sh6 underpass, orc-certified bus stops, a 0.27 on-street car parks per dwelling maximum, noise and access consent notices, and advice notes on certification panels (pp.18–25). mass rapid transit: the document says nothing about mass rapid transit for queenstown. the only rapid transit mentioned is aspen's velocirfta bus rapid transit, on a map legend (p.7). joint expert response to hearing panel questions, with technical note and appended nzta fast-track comment nzta (waka kotahi), qldc. proposed te pūtahi ladies mile plan variation – response from colin shields and dave smith to further panel transport questions raised on 13 december 2023 (2023). abley technical note 3, job nzta-j321. te pūtahi ladies mile;

increased and increasing standards; resilience to shock events; the climate emergency; and an infrastructure deficit, made worse by escalating costs, limited delivery capacity, long project incubation and limited funding (pp13-14). the 'most likely scenario' is explicitly not the preferred scenario: 'current fiscal constraints mean council is unable to invest at the optimal quantum and pace' (p17). the strategy assumes that investment by third-party providers, including nzta and orc, will follow a similar trajectory to council's (p17). council commits to consider non-built solutions first, to partner with others and to advocate nationally (p20). eight significant decisions are set out (p21). transport (significant decision 06). transport assets and services are provided in partnership with nzta and orc through way to go (w2g) (p48). the strategy reports that investment in whakatipu is well advanced: a low-cost frequent pt service is operating, active travel and cbd upgrades are complete, arterial stage 1 is under construction, and nz upgrade programme works on sh6/6a are planned (p48). the most likely scenario assumes w2g partners keep investing in line with agreed plans, with timing realigned to government policy statement funding priorities (p49). four options are assessed: - option 1, make best use of existing assets: low impact; travel times are expected to worsen (p49). - option 2, protect the network for future development: corridor protection and land acquisition only (p50). - option 3, targeted expansions and more travel choices (most likely): bypass routes in queenstown and wānaka, major pt network upgrades and active travel expansion, underpinned by an assumption that new funding mechanisms will be introduced; some interim deterioration in levels of service is possible (p50). - option 4, transform the way the transportation network operates: 'new high-capacity high-frequency public transport modalities, major streetscape upgrades, and secondary cycle networks', with 'blue-sky thinking'. this depends on behaviour change, technology, new funding and partner support, may require deprioritising other activities, and would take effect only in later years (p51). key initiatives under the most likely scenario (p52, bubble chart) include: - short term: renewals, demand and parking management, active travel and pt low-cost low-risk programmes, model replacement, arterial stage 1 completion, capell ave extension, shepherds creek bridge. - medium term: arthurs point bridge, arterial and pt interchange early design and land acquisition, the quail rise to hawthorne link, frankton road 10 formation, and corridor network optimisations. - long term: arterial stages 2 and 3, the pt interchange, queenstown street upgrades, the ballantyne road freight link and a whakatipu ferry network. travel demand management is listed as a key behaviour-change programme (p62). key figures. transport capex (present day, uninflated) runs from $38.3m in year 1 to $53.6m in year 10. it is $189.8m (y11-15), $193.2m (y16-20), $227m (y21-25) and $154.9m (y26-30). transport opex is about $12.5m-$13.0m a year. capex drivers are growth 37%, renewal 29% and levels of service 34% (p63). three waters capex is substantially larger, for example $161.5m in year 6 (p63). mass rapid transit: the strategy does not mention mass rapid transit between frankton and the town centre. the nearest references are option 4, which is not the most likely option, with its 'new high-capacity high-frequency public transport modalities' (p51), and a long-term 'whakatipu ferry network' initiative (p52). neither has a route, cost or timeframe. 30-year infrastructure strategy (lga 2002 s101b), adopted with the long term plan 2024–2034 30 year infrastructure strategy – water, transport, waste and social 2024–2054 (2024). queenstown lakes district;

rapid transit capacity once and finds it sufficient only at 240 departures per hour. the modelling brief lists a 'gondola versus no gondola' sensitivity and the pt model includes an mrt (off-road corridor) mode, but no mass rapid transit or mrt results are reported: mrt patronage is zero in every 2053 output table. the model concludes that even a high bus mode share would not bring the road network within capacity and that a 'new system (e.g. cable-based system)' could carry the target volumes. the hubs paper sets a trigger for investigating off-line pt. context and purpose: wsp was commissioned by orc under a consultant agreement of 22 july 2022 (contract tctb1) to prepare the queenstown public transport business case. these nine advisory papers (project 6-xo014.00) underpin it (p12, p393). the compiled pdf contains, in order: public transport hubs and infrastructure (p1-92), service patterns (p93-195), system management (p196-218), park & ride (p219-258), on-demand services (p259-284), ownership and operating model (p285-303), fleet decarbonisation (p304-364), sustainable funding model (p365-387) and forecast demand with its modelling appendices (p388-473). forecast demand and modelling: updated qldc land-use projections (november 2022) via abley's tracks update show fewer households, tourists and jobs than the earlier business case (p394). to keep links at 90% v/c, am peak pt is needed on sh6a at 27% (2027), 40% (2039) and 47% (2053), and on kawarau falls bridge at 53% by 2053 (about 1,700 passengers per hour) (p395). the pt model is a simplified excel logit mode-choice model run on tracks matrices and has no crowding or capacity constraint (p412, p416, p448). thirteen short-list options (bus max, a split jp/rp version and a jack's point spine, with ferry, pt bridge, malaghans and northbound bus lane variants) were tested (p449-450). bus max with a split service and malaghans routing was the likely optimum (p451). even the preferred option falls short of targets: for example, 2053 westbound sh6a am is 1,281 predicted against 1,466 needed, and shotover bridge is less than half its target (p452). abundant parking at frankton flats is cited as a factor (p452). service patterns: an 11-option long list (bus max variants, rapid transit (bus) spines, a one-seat network, two ferries and a jet boat) was narrowed to four (p103, p159). standard buses cannot meet demand even at 30 buses per hour on sh6a (p102). a capacity matrix finds articulated buses at 20 departures per hour or bi-articulated at 15 meet the 2053 target of 1,700 per hour (p151-152). articulated buses are recommended (p102). continuous pt priority on sh6a is described as difficult because of space constraints, making traffic flow on sh6a critical to bus reliability (p192). hubs and infrastructure: minor design changes let the stanley street and frankton hubs take articulated buses (p10, p43). preferred interchanges are on sh6 near grant road (five mile) and on hawthorne drive near tex smith lane (p10). a boyd road–red oaks drive pt bridge and sh6 northbound bus lanes are documented (p9, p15-16). up to 56 articulated and seven standard buses need a depot of about 10,000 m2, preferably in frankton with coneburn as the alternative (p64-67, p91). other papers: system management recommends that orc partner with the queenstown lakes community housing trust to fund affordable rental housing for pt staff (p201). park & ride recommended sites at speargrass flat and cromwell as supplementary add-ons (p225-226), but the business case later excluded park and ride. on-demand recommends investigating a queenstown hill/goldfields service (p280). ownership recommends public (or third-party) ownership of the depot, with operator-owned fleet and contracted operations (p302). fleet decarbonisation recommends battery electric buses (p322). sustainable funding puts 2039 operating costs at $19.3m–$29.8m a year ($25m for the preferred option). it finds the boyd road bridge unaffordable for qldc, and congestion charging and developer contributions the most promising funding sources (p370). conclusion of the modelling: 'the model predicts a high pt share... but this would be not sufficient to result in the road network operating within capacity' (p454). target volumes above 1,500 per hour could be carried by higher-capacity buses, which will 'reach a maximum practical capacity shortly after 2053', or 'by the addition of a new system (e.g. cable-based system)'. these would be combined with parking management, road user or congestion charging, land-use change and home-working (p454). mass rapid transit: the methodology statement (14 october 2022), the forecast demand paper and the technical note all list 'range of mass transit options (i.e. gondola)' among interventions the model would test. they also list a 'gondola versus no gondola' sensitivity, which appears three times (p404, p412-413, p418). the model can represent 'off-road corridors (e.g. gondola, ferry)' (p409, p448), and an mrt (off-road corridor) mode is built into its cost and choice structure (p422, p424-425). no mass rapid transit option appears among the 13 tested options (p450). in the appendix f 2053 five-point summaries, all 30 mrt rows (three periods, five screenlines, two directions) show 0 passengers and 0% in all 13 options (p470-473). no sensitivity results are reported anywhere. the only mass rapid transit assessment is the service patterns capacity matrix: 10 passengers per cabin (8 planning), and sufficient 'only when operating a very high frequencies (240 departures per hour or 15 sec headway)', a frequency the table bands as 'too high' (p151-152). the hubs paper sets the off-line trigger (p11, p34). compiled technical

'gondola versus no gondola' sensitivity / mrt mode run? on the evidence in these papers, no results were reported and the mrt class was not active in any reported run. the modelling brief (methodology statement v3, matthew gatenby, 14 october 2022) says the simplified model would allow a 'range of mass transit options (i.e. gondola), which also have route, stop and capacity variations'. it says sensitivities would follow, including 'gondola versus no gondola' (p412-413), and the same wording recurs in the forecast demand paper (p404) and the technical note (p418). the model structure includes 'mrt (off-road corridor)' links and generalised cost (p422, p424-425). however, the 13 short-list options contain no mass rapid transit/mrt variant (p450), and every mrt row in the 2053 am, interpeak and pm five-point summaries is 0 passengers / 0% for all options (p470-473). the only mass rapid transit assessment is in service patterns: 'gondola can provide sufficient capacity but only

qldc and nzta are road controlling authorities and funding partners (p23). key risks include depot timing, power supply, funding, the sh6 bus lane, driver shortages and the edith cavell bridge weight limit (p24). demand management tools are described as critical but left to 'a subsequent project' (p24). next steps are endorsement, reframing of the way to go partnership, nltp funding applications and review each nltp period (p28). mass rapid transit: section 2.13 'an off-line solution' states that 'an offline solution such as a gondola is suggested to be further investigated in the 2024-27 period' to allow lead time for investigation, consultation, land acquisition, design, procurement and construction (p11). part b adds that, while outside the scope of the business case, 'an offline public transport system has the potential to drive further uptake in public transport' and recommends that project partners 'investigate offline public transport options within the next nltp period' (p20). the next-phase scope includes investigating an off-line route to supplement the bus and ferry network (p11, p28). no cost or lead organisation is given for this, and it does not appear in the 2024-27 funding list (p11). business case summary report orc. queenstown public transport business case – summary report (2024). whakatipu basin;

the text says eight papers but lists nine). problem: two problem statements were agreed at an october 2022 ilm workshop (p18). current bus capacity on sh6a is estimated at 260 passengers per hour, against 2021 peak loads of 199 (am) and 174 (pm) (p18). to keep the network functioning, am peak pt volumes on sh6a must reach 592 people per hour by 2027, 1,082 by 2039 and 1,466 by 2053 (27%, 40% and 47% mode share) (p19). sh6a's practical capacity was exceeded on 140 days in 2019 (p19). investment objectives cover mode share (2053 targets of 50% southern, 35% eastern and 48% western corridors), a 100% cut in pt co2 by 2035, a 20% vkt reduction by 2035 and improved access to jobs and destinations (p29-30). options: service patterns and decarbonisation technologies were assessed in parallel through mca with partner decision conferencing (p39). an 11-option long list of service patterns (bus max variants, spine options, a one-seat-ride network and three ferry options) was assessed; spine, one-seat and ferry options other than the jack's point spine were rejected as failing the capacity critical success factor (p42, p49). the short list centred on bus max versus a jack's point spine, with bridge, malaghans road and ferry variants (p50). the composite option scored highest in every mca sensitivity test (p63) and had the highest bcr (2.4) and incremental bcr (7.9) (p64). battery electric technology was preferred; hydrogen was treated as fatally flawed for the first 15 years (p65-66). articulated buses (about 110 passengers) were chosen because standard buses cannot meet sh6a demand even at 30 buses per hour (p42). preferred option: an enhanced bus max (composite) network with battery electric buses and ferries, staged to a walk-up (15-minute or better) network by 2035 (p79-82). it comprises eight core interventions: service and fleet improvements, stanley street and frankton hub changes, an electric bus depot, an sh6 bus lane (kawarau falls bridge to william rees cottage), local intersection changes, and bus stop changes on local roads and state highways (p81). a secondary option delays the depot to 2035, with work starting by 2031 (p82, p97). on-demand service is suggested for queenstown hill and goldfield heights (about $750,000 a year) (p69, p108). park and ride was agreed not to be part of the preferred option and not value for money (p77). the recommended ownership model is public (orc) ownership of the depot, with operators keeping the fleet (p94). economics and finance: monetised benefits are dominated by network productivity ($1,019m), plus safety ($53m), air quality ($30m) and greenhouse gas ($7m) (p84). the bcr is 2.3 (38-year evaluation, 4% discount rate), with sensitivity tests of 1.6 to 2.5 (p84-86). p50 capital costs total about $68.2m, including the depot at $59.5m (including land), the sh6 bus lane at $3.6m and the frankton hub at $1.6m (p108). preferred-option operating costs are $25m a year against $6.7m now (p108; table 10-3 on p85 instead gives $11m for the do minimum in 2039). the funding forecast for the next nltp period is $9.5m, $36.0m and $24.9m for fy24/25 to fy26/27 (p112). capital estimates carry a 70% contingency for p95 (p107). congestion charging and developer contributions are seen as the most promising alternative funding sources (p113). performance: predicted am peak pt mode share on sh6a rises from 14% to 34% in 2053, short of the 47% objective, and the objective to maintain a functional network 'cannot be fully achieved by the public transport services alone' (p81, p86-87). travel demand measures are recommended (p81). management: table 12-3 assigns lead organisations (orc, nzta, qldc) and nltp periods (p110-111). orc is the procuring organisation and will appoint a project sponsor/director, qldc and nzta act as road controlling authorities, and the way to go partnership is to be reconfirmed and reframed (p116). next steps are partner endorsement, nltp funding applications and review of the business case at least once per nltp period (p121). mass rapid transit: off-line options are out of scope 'other than to recommend when an off-line service should be investigated' (p39). the document states that 'the next logical infrastructure would be an off-line public transport system, which should be in place before a bus-based system reaches capacity', which is 'being considered as a separate study' with nzta seeking feasibility funding in the 2024-27 nltp (p40). it recommends that 'an offline solution such as a gondola' be investigated in the 2024-27 period, starting with more detailed town centre modelling, and says articulated buses have sufficient capacity until 2053 (p82). investigating an off-line route is listed in the next-phase scope (p121). no lead organisation, cost or nltp period is given for this in table 12-3. public transport business case (combined strategic, economic, commercial, financial and management cases) orc. queenstown public transport business case (2024). whakatipu basin;

the gps 2024 signals time-of-use charging reform (pp.2, 13–14). method: four facilitated workshops with qldc, orc and nzta officers set principles and objectives, generated and shortlisted concepts, considered complementary measures and future-proofing (pp.7, 15). analysis used elasticities from stockholm (-0.87) and gothenburg (-0.69), tomtom origin–destination data calibrated to nzta counts, mbcm diversion rates (40% of trip reductions to pt), a $0.75 transaction cost and a 50% revenue reduction for variable pricing (pp.20–21). equity and environmental impacts were out of scope (p.8). context findings: the qbc found sh6a practical capacity was exceeded on about 140 days in 2019 (p.9). business case analysis 'indicated that the public transport improvements alone will be insufficient to maintain an acceptable transport network level of service', and there is a risk that mode shift will not be achieved through 'pull' measures alone, since buses largely use the same congested network (pp.9–10). options: six concepts were reduced to three (p.18): a, a single sh6a gate (17–24% sh6a reduction, $10m net revenue, but diversion via gorge road and the one-lane edith cavell bridge); b, multiple gates (10–17%, 95th-percentile sh6a time 25→20 min, $27m, 300–400k new pt boardings); c, multiple zones (11–18%, $35m, 400–900k boardings) (p.21). stakeholders preferred b as more targeted, user-centric and legible (p.23). gates: sh6a east of marina drive, gorge road, fernhill, shotover river bridge, kawarau falls bridge; $5 peak (7–10am, 4–7pm), $2 interpeak, weekdays, capped at one charge per trip (p.23). future years: against qptbc 2039 scenarios, maintaining 2023-equivalent performance needs about $15 peak charge with minimal pt (do minimum) or about $10 with bus max, each generating about $40m net revenue (p.25). road pricing 'can make a significant contribution to achieving the target mode share' but is 'not a complete solution' (p.26). three of the five gates are on state highways, so nzta could set charges with revenue returned to the region (p.27). engagement and recommendations: a staged approach is proposed: council briefing (stage 0), key stakeholders, public engagement and a deliberative democracy process (pp.28–30). the study 'does not recommend that the scheme concept be implemented without further investigation', and lists equity, tourist impacts, pre-requisites (viable pt alternatives) and revenue hypothecation for further work (pp.31–32). key findings: road pricing could reduce congestion, increase pt mode share and generate net revenue (p.32). mass rapid transit: the document says nothing about mass rapid transit. complementary measures discussed are bus-based (the qptbc 'bus max' option), active modes, trip timing and travel demand management. proof-of-concept study / summary report qldc. queenstown road pricing proof-of-concept study (2024). qldc-j074. whakatipu basin;

the document does not print an adoption date. structure and method. policies and actions are grouped under five focus areas: passenger experience; building trust; environmental sustainability; a connected and integrated network; and value for money, followed by implementation and monitoring. network design follows the principles of serving diverse trips, a patronage-oriented network and mode-neutrality (p49). policy sd p5 (p52) states public transport 'will be delivered using the most appropriate mode (e.g. bus, ferry, rail, cable/rope technologies, etc.)'. key figures. otago public transport trips rose from 3.4 million (2019/20) to 5.3 million (2023/24), +54% (p15). queenstown's fleet is expected to be 23 electric buses (100% of fleet) by about 2029 (figure 10, p48). the urban rapid service target is every 10 minutes or better 6am-8pm on a dedicated right-of-way (p56). queenstown has one frequent service; connector services are hourly, half-hourly at peak on the strongest routes (pp56-57). the queenstown urban unit (unit 8) runs november 2029-june 2041 with staged increases subject to funding; queenstown school and regional units (units 9-10) are 'not currently funded'; the lake whakatipu ferry unit runs july 2025-june 2030 (p126). queenstown policies and actions. queenstown is described as a high-growth centre where public transport must proactively support growth. the most popular route will likely be homestead bay-jack's point-hanley's farm-frankton-queenstown, served by high-capacity articulated buses, and 'there may be a future study of the case for other modes... including an off-line option and a direct ferry service' (p63). staged maps: next 3 years (2025-2028), direct queenstown-arrowtown connection and 30-minute peak connectors (p64); 3-6 years (2028-2031), 30-minute all-day connectors, timetables coordinated to create 7.5-minute frequency between queenstown and frankton, homestead bay extension, articulated buses and on-demand services (p64); 6-10 years (2031-2035), additional peak services and queenstown-wānaka and queenstown-alexandra services (p65); 10-30 years (2035-2055), frequent services across the network 'per business case', missing links such as the quail rise western access road, a potential ferry to homestead bay and potential rapid off-line service (p66). the frankton bus hub is being redeveloped by nzta, and a stronger central queenstown facility to replace the on-street stanley street bus hub is 'a key action in the long-term implementation of the queenstown public transport business case' (p78). orc plans to secure land for an electric depot because strategic land is hard to access and the network runs as a single contract (p80; in a4, p82). parking in dunedin and queenstown is to be managed to support public transport growth (pm p1/pm a1, p83). a zone fare structure is being considered for queenstown (pp100-101). kpis cover whakatipu boardings, on-time performance (>90%), service delivery (>99%) and satisfaction (>90%) (p97). the queenstown engagement story again records interest in 'expanding ferry access or ropeway services' (p108). the grow well whaiora partnership and queenstown lakes spatial plan are cited as complementary (p47). changes from the draft relevant to queenstown. (1) sd p5 mode list changed from 'bus, ferry, tram, etc.' (draft p54) to 'bus, ferry, rail, cable/rope technologies, etc.' (p52). (2) the ropeway sentence is unchanged apart from a lower-case 'we' (draft p58; final p56). (3) the network horizons changed from 0-3, 3-6 and 6-30 years to dated horizons of 2025-2028, 2028-2031, 2031-2035 and 2035-2055; the potential rapid off-line service moved from the 6-30 year map to the 10-30 year (2035-2055) map, i.e. beyond the plan period (draft p66; final p66). (4) a 6-10 year stage was added. (5) queenstown school and regional units move from november 2028 to november 2029 start (draft p126; final p126). the final retains a stray sentence inviting submissions on the draft, consultation 'currently scheduled for march 2025' (p108). recommendations. the plan does not itself commit funding; activities depend on nltp and ltp funding. mass rapid transit: the plan states 'no current plans to implement full rapid service, but... we support the future study of an “off-line” rapid service in queenstown, likely using ropeway technologies' (p56); says there 'may be a future study' of other modes including 'an off-line option' (p63); lists 'potential for rapid off-line service between queenstown and homestead bay (not shown)' in the 2035-2055 horizon (p66); and names 'cable/rope technologies' in policy sd p5 (p52). no corridor, owner, cost or date is given for the study. regional public transport plan (final) orc. otago regional public transport plan 2025–2035 (2025). otago region;

no current plans; potential service placed in 2035-2055 horizon, unmapped. the final plan keeps the draft's position and strengthens one policy reference, while moving the time horizon later. the urban rapid row of the service-layer table states: 'no current plans to implement full rapid service, but: we want to enhance key spines... we support the future study of an “off-line” rapid service in queenstown, likely using ropeway technologies' (p56). this wording is identical to the draft (p58) apart from capitalisation. policy sd p5 (mode neutrality) now reads 'bus, ferry, rail, cable/rope technologies, etc.' (p52); the draft read 'bus, ferry, tram, etc.' (draft p54). the queenstown section repeats that 'there may be a future study of the case for other modes... including an off-line option and a direct ferry service' (p63). on the staged maps, 'potential for rapid off-line service between queenstown and homestead bay (not shown)' appears under '10–30 years (2035–2055)' (p66). in the draft it appeared under '6-30 years' (draft p66). the new dated horizons place any off-line service after the plan's 2035 end date. the engagement summary records queenstown interest in 'expanding ferry access or ropeway services' (p108). the plan does not name a corridor such as frankton-town centre, a lead agency, funding or a date for the study. \"no current plans to implement full rapid service, but: • we want to enhance key spines, where the combined service may approach rapid standards • we support the future study of an “off-line” rapid service in queenstown, likely using ropeway technologies\" (p.56) | \"mode neutrality: public transport will be delivered using the most appropriate mode (e.g. bus, ferry, rail, cable/rope technologies, etc.) to meet demand, purpose, community need and value for money.\" (p.52) | \"additionally, there may be a future study of the case for other modes to serve this area, including an off-line option and a direct ferry service.\" (p.63) | \"10–30 years (2035–2055)... potential for rapid off-line service between queenstown and homestead bay (not shown).\" (p.66) | \"exploring the potential for new transport modes, including expanding ferry access or ropeway services\" (p.108) otago public transport trips rose from 3.4 million (2019/20) to 5.3 million (2023/24), +54% (p15) queenstown fleet expected to be 23 electric buses (100% of fleet) by c.2029 (figure 10, p48) coordinated 7.5-minute queenstown-frankton frequency in 2028-2031 horizon (p64) urban rapid service target: every 10 minutes or better 6am-8pm, dedicated right-of-way (p56) queenstown urban (unit 8) contract november 2029-june 2041;

'parking pricing is the only tdm pricing strategy mentioned in the documents reviewed, however even the application of this measure is limited to a small area of queenstown cbd', which is described as a significant weakness (p11). the report recommends investigating development contributions, time-of-use charging (with legislation expected and revenue ring-fenced for qldc) and a regional fuel tax, alongside wider parking pricing (p11-12). recommendations: cost all public transport and active mode network gaps from the spatial plan into orc, qldc and nzta programmes. fund them through development contributions, a higher funding assistance rate, ring-fenced parking revenue, fuel tax and time-of-use charging advocacy, with orc differential rating for pt operations in new areas (p10). update district plan rules and the code of practice to prioritise walking, cycling and pt access (10-minute walk to frequent bus), minimise parking and require travel plans (p11). establish a transport management association with the chamber of commerce (p12). priority document reviews (table 4-1, p13-15) cover the spatial plan (priority 1), district plan plan change (priority 3), code of practice (1), mode shift plan rebranded as a funded tdm strategy (1), parking strategy (1), ltp and dc policy (high), and minor improvements policy (1). other recommendations cover live gis tools (p16), staff, political and community engagement (p16-17), consideration of a unitary authority or transfer of powers (p17), and monitoring with annual progress reports (p17). conclusion: success depends on aligning qldc and orc documents into a coherent, actionable framework. that means elevating the mode shift plan, a tdm plan change, travel planning, addressing the funding shortfall, and political and community buy-in (p18). mass rapid transit: the report says nothing about mass rapid transit or offline public transport. public transport is discussed only in general terms (network gaps, funding, the parking strategy recommendation to relocate parking to peripheries and park and ride sites). policy review summary report qldc. policy review - travel demand management summary report (2025). stantec project/file 310206284. queenstown lakes district (district-wide policy review;

'references to go here', p2). context and purpose. the draft rptp 2025-2035 is orc's ten-year statutory plan for public transport services, information and infrastructure, with emphasis on how funding and effort are spent in the first three years after adoption (p7). the ltma requires the rptp to be renewed after the rltp mid-term review, completed in 2024 (p9). it was prepared with dunedin city, queenstown lakes, central otago, clutha and waitaki district councils and nzta (waka kotahi), informed by engagement with mana whenua, operators, community groups, customers and 2024 ltp/annual plan submissions (p7). this version is the consultation draft received by orc's public and active transport committee on 5 march 2025 (see patc2025). it contains unfinished front matter: the foreword is placeholder text (p5) and page 2 reads 'src reference: ##### references to go here'. structure and method. policies (p) and actions (a) are grouped under five focus areas: passenger experience (information, safety, customer service, ticketing, branding, special events, service and vehicle standards, total mobility and community transport); building trust (equity, engagement, collaborative relationships); environmental sustainability (land use integration, fleet decarbonisation); a connected and integrated network (service design, routes and service levels, multi-modal access, infrastructure, parking); and value for money (funding, fares, procurement, workforce). network design follows three principles: diverse trip types, a patronage-oriented network, and mode-neutrality (p51). policy sd p5 says public transport 'will be delivered using the most appropriate mode (e.g. bus, ferry, tram, etc.)' (p54). key figures. otago public transport trips rose from 3.4 million in 2019/20 to 5.3 million in 2023/24, a 54% increase (p15). queenstown's bus fleet is expected to be 23 electric buses (100% of fleet) by about 2029 (figure 10, p49). urban rapid service targets are every 10 minutes or better 6am-8pm on a dedicated right-of-way (p58). the queenstown urban bus unit (unit 8) contract is shown as november 2029-june 2041 with staged service increases, subject to funding; queenstown school and regional units are 'not currently funded' (p126). queenstown policies and actions. the draft says queenstown is a high-growth centre where public transport must proactively support growth; its most popular route will likely run from homestead bay through jacks point and hanley's farm into frankton and queenstown, served by high-capacity articulated buses, and 'there may be a future study of the case for other modes... including an off-line option and a direct ferry service' (p64). staged network maps show: 0-3 years, direct queenstown-arrowtown connection and 30-minute peak connector frequency; 3-6 years, 30-minute all-day connectors, timetables coordinated to create 7.5-minute frequency between queenstown and frankton, extension to homestead bay, articulated buses and on-demand services; 6-30 years, network increased to frequent levels 'per business case', missing road links such as quail rise, a potential ferry to homestead bay and potential rapid off-line service (pp65-66). infrastructure text notes the frankton bus hub is being redeveloped by nzta waka kotahi and that a stronger central queenstown facility to replace the on-street stanley street hub is a key action in the long-term implementation of the queenstown public transport business case (p76). orc plans to secure land for an electric depot in queenstown so multiple operators can compete for the single network contract (p78; action in a4, p80). parking in dunedin and queenstown is to be managed to support public transport growth (pm p1, p81). regional aspirations include contracted alexandra-queenstown and wānaka-queenstown services (p59). a zone fare structure is being considered for queenstown and dunedin (attachment 1, pp98-99). kpis include annual boardings, on-time performance (>90%) and service delivery (>99%) for whakatipu (p95). the engagement summary records queenstown feedback on 'exploring the potential for new transport modes, including expanding ferry access or ropeway services' (p108). recommendations. as a policy plan it does not commit funding to specific projects; implementation depends on nltp and ltp funding. implementation and monitoring arrangements and a significance policy are in part 3 (pp93-97). mass rapid transit: the draft makes explicit but brief statements. under urban rapid service it says 'no current plans to implement full rapid service' and 'we support the future study of an “off-line” rapid service in queenstown, likely using ropeway technologies' (p58). the queenstown section says there 'may be a future study' of other modes including 'an off-line option' (p64), and the 6-30 year map lists 'potential for rapid off-line service between queenstown and homestead bay (not shown)' (p66). engagement feedback mentions ropeway services (p108). there is no alignment, cost, timing, owner or funding for an off-line service, and sd p5's mode list does not name cable or rope technology (p54). regional public transport plan (consultation draft) orc. otago regional public transport plan 2025-2035 (2025). otago region;

'gondola' refers only to the skyline tourist gondola and its car park. context and purpose: the bundle brings together qldc's parking strategy, parking guidelines and three area parking management plans (pmps) as one 'comprehensive parking management plan' (p2). it is marked 'working version' and carries a draft watermark (p1-2). the strategy is said to have been developed in 2024 and consulted on over the 2023/24 summer, with parking surveys in october 2023 and february 2024 (p2, p86). the acknowledgement notes that stantec initiated the documents for qldc and that qldc has updated them since 2024/25 (p143). parking strategy: the five objectives are to prioritise access according to user needs, encourage mode shift and reduce emissions, support a prosperous local economy, support a safe and efficient transport network, and contribute to quality, people-focused urban environments (p2). the strategy says 'the availability and cost of parking is one of the most significant factors that determines how a person chooses to get around' (p6). context includes high car ownership (nearly three-quarters of households with two or more vehicles in 2023), bus patronage records in 2024/25, removal of minimum parking requirements under the nps-ud, and residential parking pressure (p10-13). the strategy states that parking changes in isolation from practical alternatives are unlikely to be supported. it describes complementary tdm (pricing, traffic and speed management, shared mobility, behaviour change, integrated land use) and notes that road pricing and congestion charging need central government legislation (p14-15). it ends with principles, engagement, and monitoring and evaluation (p23-25). parking guidelines: these set out user and vehicle priorities and allocation by land use (p30-40), how supply is managed (p41), and demand management through time restrictions, paid parking (fees reviewed annually through the annual plan/ltp), permits and enforcement (p42-52). the guidelines state that 'managing demand through increasing parking supply does not align with the objectives in our parking strategy' (p46). parking revenue is expected to rise, and transport management associations could help decide how it is reinvested, including possibly subsidising public transport (p53). other sections cover land-use planning and the proposed district plan (p53-55) and school parking (p56). dedicated park and ride facilities 'are not yet viable due to the investment required... combined with the infrequent public transport and lack of bus priority on our key arterial transport corridors' (p57). appendices cover technology, indicative permit costs and an implementation plan with pmp triggers (generally sustained occupancy above 85%), permits, advocacy (infringement penalties, rental vehicle fines, berm parking) and monitoring (p58-66). frankton pmp: there are 1,537 public spaces (1,497 on-street), all free, with 48-hour limits on 90% of on-street spaces, plus about 1,560 private spaces (p71). airport-related overspill affects residential streets (p73). the plan describes the queenstown package and the queenstown public transport business case (p71). actions include a residential permit zone, a review of the 48-hour limit, p180 in the gray street car park, shorter frankton village limits from 2027, school-area changes and mobility parking (p76-78). queenstown pmp: there are 3,006 public spaces (2,168 on-street, 838 off-street) and about 2,530 private spaces (p85). only 182 on-street spaces are paid (p86). the skyline car park (297 spaces, july 2024) and ballarat street (120 reinstated april 2025, 131 new by december 2025) add 548 off-street spaces (p86). surveys show very high on-street demand (p87-94). the plan proposes precinct pricing and time limits: historic core $6.50/hour rising to $7.50 by 2027/28 with p90; inner $4/hour with p180; outer $2.50-$4/hour with a six-hour cap; and fringe p180 (p107-114). other measures are a resident permit scheme, coach, campervan, spsv, loading, motorcycle and bike parking changes, and real-time occupancy and wayfinding (p95-106). wānaka pmp: all public parking is currently free (p125). proposed actions are paid parking at $1-$2/hour in core and pembroke precincts, coach and campervan charges, staged fringe restrictions with resident permits, and event measures (p129-142). mass rapid transit: the document says nothing about mass rapid transit or offline public transport between frankton and the town centre. the only cableway references are to the skyline gondola tourist attraction, which is not mass rapid transit, its upgrade works and its new multi-storey car park (p83-84, p86, p109). public transport is discussed in terms of buses, the queenstown public transport business case's bus-based preferred option (p84) and the non-viability of park and ride (p57). parking strategy, guidelines and area parking management plans (draft working compilation) qldc. comprehensive parking management plan (qldc parking bundle working version: parking strategy, parking guidelines, and frankton, queenstown and wānaka parking management plans) (2026). queenstown lakes district;

qldc arthurs point crossing, stage 1) (p.102). context and purpose: the national infrastructure plan is prepared by the new zealand infrastructure commission, te waihanga in response to a statutory requirement and was provided to the minister for infrastructure in december 2025 (p.2). the foreword is signed by board chair raveen jaduram and chief executive geoff cooper (p.5). it is framed around four themes (planning what we can afford; looking after what we've got; prioritising the right projects; making it easier to build better), 16 recommendations and ten priorities for the decade ahead (pp.11-15). key findings: new zealand invested around 5.8% of gdp annually in infrastructure over 20 years but ranks towards the bottom of the oecd for efficiency; consenting costs projects $1.3 billion a year; net crown debt is forecast to reach 200% of gdp by 2065 without change (p.10). the pipeline holds 11,925 projects worth $275 billion; projects under $100 million make up 98% by number, but unfunded megaprojects account for much of the value (p.11). forward guidance expects 5-7% of gdp on capital infrastructure annually, with land transport moderating from 1.3% (2010-2022) to 1.0% (2024-2054) of gdp and hospitals and electricity rising (p.12). most infrastructure needed in 30 years already exists; up to 60 cents in every dollar may be needed for renewals (p.12). transport: the plan states current land transport investment plans exceed what users can sustainably fund and calls for reform so spending aligns with user revenue (p.11). priority 3 is to implement time-of-use charging and fleetwide road user charges (p.14); the key actions note 'congestion pressures are concentrated in auckland, wellington, christchurch, tauranga, and queenstown' and call for joint design with local government and for business cases to account for pricing effects (p.63). priority 4 is to prioritise and sequence major road and rapid transit projects based on demonstrated demand and cost benchmarking, using low-cost targeted improvements first (pp.14, 66). the plan gives an indicative benchmark that a well-designed bus lane can move roughly 2,400 passengers per hour each direction (p.66). figure 24 estimates when bus-lane infrastructure capacity could be exceeded for five corridors, including the 'queenstown pt package' (p.67). key actions include using intervention hierarchies and congestion pricing before expensive upgrades, sequencing major projects using value-for-money thresholds supported by ipp assessments, and investigating tolls and targeted levies where projects cannot proceed within existing funds (p.68). recommendation 2 (land transport funding and oversight) is led by the ministry of transport (p.71). priority 9 is to upzone around key transport corridors (p.116). prioritising projects: the commission's ipp has assessed over 120 applications and finds recurring gaps in problem definition, option development and value-for-money testing; many business cases 'converge too early on a preferred solution' (p.100). recommendations include a consolidated system-wide assurance function (rec. 7, p.103) and investment readiness assurance (rec. 9, p.104). figure 35 lists ipp endorsements from rounds 1 and 2, including 'queenstown transport' (multiple applicants, ota, stage 1) and qldc's 'arthurs point crossing' (stage 1) (p.102). other queenstown references: the otago pipeline lists qldc projects including the queenstown events centre and shotover wastewater disposal field (p.17); queenstown airport is one of six airports with international services (p.180). mass rapid transit: the plan does not mention mass rapid transit for queenstown. its references to rapid transit are national and general: sequence major road and rapid transit investments to demonstrated demand, low-cost options first (p.66). national infrastructure plan (statutory) national infrastructure plan 2026 (mahere tūāhanga ā-motu) (2026). d.18;

'offline public transport' is listed as a link with the proposed regional deal (p11). orc public transport planning slides cover wānaka/upper clutha and sub-regional services. they state that the tnp will look at options for a future multi-modal pt network integrating buses, active travel and offline solutions (p14). an indicative wānaka service is costed at $1,172,700 with a bcr of 1.1 (p15). a timeline shows the upper clutha service launching in ltp year 2 and an ocl sub-regional service in ltp year 4 (p17). part b: infrastructure strategy (transport). significant issues include growth outpacing capacity, investment processes unsuited to the task, a local ratepayer base too small to fund a network serving many tourists, a vulnerable network with few alternative routes, environmental effects, and affordability. central government support is described as insufficient, so levels of service are now dropping (p21). under the strategic direction, nzta will focus on gps-led improvements around frankton, and orc on service improvements in the whakatipu basin, sub-regional services and possibly wānaka. the slide adds: 'at the time of writing, this may also include a first national aerial network to provide predominantly public transport services' (p22). qldc must either find new ways to fund the planned programme or prioritise part of it, possibly focusing on wānaka, the queenstown town centre or the whakatipu basin (p22). an enabling toolkit covers tdm, parking management plans for queenstown, frankton and wānaka, network planning, and its to enable time-of-use charging and tolls (p23). area programmes: wānaka/upper clutha corridor, active travel, optimisation and pt infrastructure, $53m short term and $20m (to be confirmed) medium term (p24). queenstown town centre: arterial route stages 3 and 2, a pt interchange, parking for a modelled shortfall of 1,100 spaces, and street upgrades, $60m short term and $346m medium term (p25). whakatipu: arthurs point crossing (the existing historic bridge is at end of life; a toll should be considered), malaghans corridor, park and ride at the eastern, southern and western network limits, active travel and vulnerable roads, short term to be confirmed and $73m medium term (p26). the slide notes that road capacity freed by orc's fleet improvements is likely to be absorbed by induced demand (p26). three pathways are set out (pp27-28). reactive: toolkit plus essential replacements, $120m. progressive: wānaka first, then queenstown and whakatipu, $650m. aggressive: wānaka and queenstown accelerated in the first ten years, $650m. all are in addition to continuous low-cost, low-risk programmes of about $300m over ten years (p28). the slides state that traditional ltp and nltp pathways are unlikely to be sufficient and that the programme will not be funded wholly by rates (pp27-28). mass rapid transit: the paper deals with the topic directly but briefly. slide 18, 'offline mass rapid transport', states that 'whakatipu will need an alternative to either the current road network, to create more capacity for pt vehicles, or an off-line system'. it lists qldc's requirements: a service that supports planned growth areas, a fully protected route, integration with other modes, complementing rather than replacing planned interventions, affordability and accessibility (p18). offline pt is also listed under the regional deal (p11) and orc planning (p14), and the strategy slide refers to a possible 'first national aerial network to provide predominantly public transport services' (p22). the paper does not name mass rapid transit, identify a route, cost or programme for offline mrt, or include it in the pathway costings. council briefing/workshop paper with presentation slides council briefing/workshop - item 1: transport strategy update (attachment a: transforming transport - transport planning and investment) (2026). queenstown lakes district; otago central lakes sub-region; whakatipu basin; queenstown town centre; frankton; wānaka / upper clutha; arthurs point not stated (briefing paper; prepared 25 june 2026, reviewed and authorised 3 july 2026) states whakatipu will need more road capacity for pt or an off-line system; sets qldc requirements; notes possible national aerial network; uncosted. a dedicated slide, 'offline mass rapid transport' (p18), states that 'whakatipu will need an alternative to either the current road network, to create more capacity for pt vehicles, or an off-line system'. it lists 'qldc requirements from pt': a service that supports planned growth areas, a fully protected route, integration with other transport modes, complementing rather than replacing planned interventions, affordability and accessibility. 'offline public transport' is listed as one of four links with the proposed regional deal (p11). under orc public transport planning, the tnp 'will include looking at options for future a multi-modal pt network including integration between buses, active travel and offline solutions', with 'offline mass rapid transport' as a further bullet (p14). the infrastructure strategy direction slide says orc's role 'may also include a first national aerial network to provide predominantly public transport services' (p22). the document does not name a technology, route, operator, cost or timeframe. offline mrt is not included in the reactive, progressive or aggressive pathway costings (p28). \"whakatipu will need an alternative to either the current road network, to create more capacity for pt vehicles, or an off-line system.\" (p.18) | \"qldc requirements from pt: service that supports planned growth areas;

The plan sets a 30-year strategy for Queenstown's strategic network; it is 'not an investment plan', and no funding, planning or delivery decisions were sought (pp2-3). It describes extreme pressure on the network: 84% traffic growth at SH6/SH6A since 2012; peak travel times on SH6A over 80 minutes, about ten times free flow; and 2055 demand forecast at 250-300% of bridge capacity (p4). Of the strategic approaches tested, 'Balanced multi-modal' is preferred; road-led expansion and do nothing are ruled out. Optimisation, bus-focused variants and an 'Offline PT spine' are treated as enabling layers. High-capacity ferries, a Queenstown Hill back road, SH6A tunnelling or double-decking, and the Malaghans Road alternative were not taken forward (p5). For Frankton to Town Centre the response is short-term bus, access and safety improvements, with 'offline PT as the viable capacity option' in the long term (p7). Thirteen interventions are sequenced in three stages. Frankton-Queenstown and Frankton-Ladies Mile offline PT and a new Kawarau crossing fall in Stage 3, 'when triggered', with projects 'in the high hundreds of millions' (pp8-9).

'no funding, planning or delivery decisions' were sought; the aim was 'partner confidence and comfort' (p2). the qsnp gives a 30-year direction for the queenstown strategic network, identifies major gaps, trade-offs and sequencing choices, and frames a whole-of-system response. it is 'not an investment plan' (p3). inputs include arataki, the ministry of transport outcomes framework, the one network framework, the spatial plan, masterplans and network performance. outputs include business cases, nltp and state highway investment plan inputs, a monitoring plan, and triggers and dependencies (p3). the challenge (p4): - 84% growth in traffic at sh6/sh6a since 2012. - peak travel time on sh6a over 80 minutes, around ten times free flow. - sh6a carrying 23,000 vehicles a day. - over 85% of capacity used for up to 6.5 hours a day in 2025. - 2055 demand forecast at 2.5 times capacity at shotover bridge and 2.6 times at kawarau falls bridge (250-300% overall). - the only alternative route to sh6a crosses a single-lane bridge. options tested (p5). do nothing and road-led expansion are ruled out. 'optimise existing', 'bus-focused variants' and 'offline pt spine' (described as a 'step-change in capacity') are classed as enabling layers. 'balanced multi-modal' is preferred as the 'best strategic fit and delivery pathway'. the deck says it adds people-moving capacity where road widening can't and can be staged, 'no-regrets first, bigger moves as funding and deliverability allows'. specific projects not taken forward are a queenstown hill back road, sh6a tunnelling or double-decking, high-capacity ferries ('limited catchment, niche role') and a malaghans road alternative route. preferred approach (pp6-7). it rests on three pillars: best use of infrastructure; moving more people in less space (bus services, higher-capacity pt vehicles, interchanges); and active demand management (tdm, parking, land-use integration). implementation covers the timing and sequencing of step-change improvements: 'larger interventions where triggers are met, pending funding availability', including offline public transport, an additional road bridge to the southern corridor and protection of corridors for future high-capacity transit. it also calls for innovative funding: beneficiary shares, infrastructure funding and financing, private investment partnering, and targeted visitor and growth levies (p6). two strategic corridors are defined (p7): - corridor 1, frankton to town centre: topography, property and congestion limit road capacity; short-term bus, access and safety improvements; 'long term: offline pt as the viable capacity option'. - corridor 2, jack's point to arrow junction: staged bus improvements, then offline pt when bus capacity is exceeded, with a potential southern river crossing. sequencing (pp8-9). thirteen numbered interventions plus arthurs point bridge (local road) and network-wide activities are mapped (p8). - stage 1, 'no-regret foundation', 2027-2033 over the next two nltps: frankton flats, key intersections, bus priority, pt services, active modes and tdm, at a sustained tens to low hundreds of millions, maintaining 2024-27 investment scale. - stage 2, 'incremental capacity', 2030s: bus priority into growth areas, interchanges, park and ride, signals and time-of-use charging. - stage 3, 'long-term transformation', 'when triggered | protect now': 'projects in the high hundreds of millions', with the new kawarau crossing and offline pt. the deck says to 'protect corridors; advance business cases and explore funding / financing options'. the deck states that the 'scale of the challenge warrants earlier intervention, but affordability and deliverability constraints necessitate a staged pathway'. if worse transport performance reduced visitor growth by 0.5%, the estimated impact is about $3.9b npv in lost gdp and tax revenue over 40 years (p9). next steps (p10): - seek inclusion of the first tranche in the 2027-2030 rltp and nltp. - advance investigations for ladies mile, southern corridor, offline pt and time-of-use charging. - agree partner leads, funding shares and delivery through way to go, the rltp and the regional deal. - monitor and refresh. mass rapid transit: the deck treats offline public transport as the long-term capacity answer between frankton and the town centre: 'long term: offline pt as the viable capacity option' (p7). frankton-queenstown offline pt (item 10) and frankton-ladies mile offline pt (item 11) are listed, and the kawarau crossing could be road or offline pt (item 12) (p8). all three are in stage 3, 'when triggered', in the 'high hundreds of millions', with no date (p9). corridor protection and investigations are proposed now (pp6, 9-10). no technology is named;

qldc is its majority shareholder and auckland international airport the minority shareholder (p56). engagement on the draft ran from 24 may to 23 june 2023, in partnership with qldc (p4). appendix a sets out the airport's district plan zoning and designations (p58). appendix b (pp59-60) identifies the regional planning documents 'of most relevance' as context for the plan. these are qldc's vision beyond 2050, 'qldc's guiding document for decision-making and planning'; the queenstown lakes spatial plan (whaiora grow well), 'intended to guide decisions and investment across local, regional and central government'; and the frankton masterplan 2020 (figure 21) and frankton flats master plan, whose preferred programme of transport interventions was endorsed in october 2020 (figure 22). the chair and ceo say the plan responds to the spatial plan, the outcomes sought by kāi tahu and the frankton master plan (p3). these are cited as context; the master plan does not adopt them. growth and airfield. between 2023 and 2032 the plan forecasts passenger movements growing from 2.4m to 3.2m, scheduled aircraft movements from 17,900 to 22,112, non-scheduled movements from 36,000 to 43,000, the terminal from 18,000 to 21,000 sqm and aircraft stands from 8 to 9 (p10). that is about 1.6 million arriving passengers by 2032, managed within the existing noise boundaries (pp23-26, 56). proposed works include emas runway-end safety areas, a parallel taxiway, an extra stand and a maintenance stand (p13), and relocating general aviation to new northern and southern precincts (pp14, 43-45). total potential investment over 10 years is $350 million, funded from working capital and debt with no shareholder contribution (p35). land transport and public transport. qac's land transport strategy prioritises walking, cycling and public transport. qac aims to be 'the world's most cycle-friendly airport' and to 'encourage, but not force, mode shift' (p36). more than half of airport trips are by private car (2019 data). the target is 18% of trips by active or public transport by 2032, aligned with the regional goal of 30% of district trips by 2045 (p37). in the terminal precinct, a forecourt plaza leads to a public transport hub, cycle hub and rental cars. public bus stops sit in front of the arrivals hall, with 'an additional bay for a proposed direct airport-queenstown express bus' and coach and regional bays (pp47-50). a green link walking and cycling path runs to the proposed frankton ferry jetty, aligned with the frankton master plan lake link (p48). the 2032 movement plan (figure 17, p49) shows a qac park & ride, the proposed ferry wharf, the frankton public transport hub and proposed frankton flats roads 'subject to further analysis'. by 2032 the forecourt allocation grows public bus bays from 2 to 3, adds 1 qac bus/shuttle bay, grows coach bays from 4 to 6 and bicycle spaces from 45 to 300, and grows public parking from 17,400 to 19,100 m2 (figure 19, p51). the park & ride stays behind mitre 10 until at least 2032, with a possible longer-term site on hawthorne drive (p54). decarbonisation and electrification. qac targets net-zero operational emissions by 2028 (pp16, 30). it says it achieved a 65% cut in absolute emissions by 2022-23 and has revised its target to an 85% reduction by 2028 (p30). its transport actions are to move the company fleet to evs, electrify the airfield, provide ev charging, support active and public transport for staff, replace the park & ride shuttle with an electric vehicle, introduce universal equipment charging for ground handlers, and install power plug-in units for aircraft (p30). it notes heavy future demand for electricity, for example from electrifying aircraft, ground fleet and rental car fleets and generating green hydrogen, and is pursuing solar opportunities (p32). future aviation. the plan supports the aviation sector's 2050 net-zero ambition (p32). it covers sustainable aviation fuel: saf is not yet produced in new zealand, and iata estimates 65% of carbon savings will come from saf (p33). the plan anticipates on-site hydrogen storage and reserves an electric aircraft precinct with a small terminal and charging, expecting such aircraft to operate from the early 2030s (pp34, 44). it also reserves a sustainable aviation area (p44) and earmarks space for evtols in the northern aviation precinct (p34). it sees opportunities for a 'renewable energy transport hub' for public, visitor and heavy transport (p34). mass rapid transit: the text does not discuss mass rapid transit, but appendix b reproduces two qldc maps whose legends include 'gondola lines/base station (private)'. figure 21 (qldc frankton masterplan 2020 land use, p59) shows a dotted mass rapid transit line with base-station markers running from beside the terminal forecourt and regional coach hub east through remarkables park, with a branch south to the quayside waterfront and jetty and a line north-east along the kawarau river to the map edge. figure 22 (frankton flats master plan, p60) shows the same legend item, with the line faintly visible beside the terminal outside the masterplan area. the same legends show public transport routes/stops (separated lanes or priority), an orbital bus route, ferry routes, park and ride, and key feature 22 'potential future public transport route', noting that dashed routes are subject to further investigation (p59). qac's own land transport plans (pp36-37, 46-54) do not mention mass rapid transit: they provide for buses, coaches, an express bus bay, park and ride, a green link and a ferry connection. airport master plan queenstown airport corporation. queenstown airport master plan (2023). queenstown airport (zqn);
