Carry-forwards of $47.1m were approved (p.13). Town Centre pedestrianisation spent $1.13m of a $2.50m budget (p.7). A capital works KPI of 52% missed the >80% target (p.54). The Wakatipu Way to Go partnership (QLDC, ORC, NZTA) launched in January 2019 (p.3). No mass rapid transit reference was found.
What the document says
Context and purpose. The first Annual Report under the 2018-2028 Ten Year Plan, signed 10 October 2019 (p.23).
Transport. Capital expenditure was 'below estimate by $28.7m for the year ended 30 June 2019' (p.7) and 'some $53m short of the original 2018 Ten Year Plan budget' (p.10), attributed to 'delay in the NZTA approval process for major transport improvements in Queenstown' (p.10). Carry-forward projects totalling $47.1m were approved in August 2019 (p.13). Queenstown Town Centre pedestrianisation spent $1.13m against $2.50m, being 'dependent on NZTA funding' and scheduled for 2019-2026 (p.7). Year-end costs for the Town Centre Arterials were $632,818 and Queenstown Parking Improvements $910,111 (p.13). The water taxi/ferry network cost $3,168,172 (p.12). The Wakatipu Way to Go partnership of QLDC, ORC and NZTA, launched January 2019, aims for 'an enduring, affordable, safe transport system with a range of choices' (p.3).
Performance. The capital works KPI was 52% against a target above 80%, not met, attributed to deferred budgets and dependence on developer agreements, joint ventures and 'NZTA funding approvals' (p.54). Roading requests resolved on time: 78% (p.54).
Mass rapid transit: No reference to mass rapid transit was found in the text read.
