2020/21 Annual Report (Rīpoata ā-tau)
QLDC's 2020/21 Annual Report records total capital expenditure of $105.3m, 'below estimate by $89.0M' (p.10), partly due to 'delays in the approval process for major transport improvements in Queenstown' (p.12). Carry-forwards of $45.06m include Queenstown Street Upgrades, arterial Stage 1, the Wakatipu Active Travel Network and the arterial balance of route (p.15). The $85m Shovel Ready contribution enabled arterial stage one (p.5), $0.7m was spent on parking options analysis (p.9) and the Queenstown Transport Business Case was approved (p.51). The only cableway reference is to the existing Skyline gondola cableway in a rockfall context (p.43).
What the document says
Context and purpose. Annual Report for the final year of the 2018-2028 plan, signed 28 October 2021 (p.25).
Transport. Overall capital expenditure was $105.3m, 'below estimate by $89.0M' (p.10), with the shortfall partly due to 'delays in the approval process for major transport improvements in Queenstown' (pp.12-13). Carry-forwards totalled $45.06m (p.15), including Queenstown Street Upgrades - CIP $1,477,485, Queenstown Town Centre Arterials - CIP Stage 1 $1,198,689, Wakatipu Active Travel Network $1,011,548 and Arterial - Balance of Route $695,793. Queenstown Street Upgrades cost $6,022,515 at year end (p.15). The $85m Shovel Ready contribution was 'enabling stage one of the proposed Queenstown Arterial' (p.5). $0.7m of 'preliminary costs for analysis of various parking options' was incurred (p.9). The report lists 'Queenstown Transport Business Case approved' (p.51) and NZ Upgrade Programme funding (p.7), and cites 'limited public transport' as a challenge (p.53).
Performance.
Mass rapid transit: The only mass rapid transit reference is to the existing 'Skyline gondola cableway', in the context of rockfall mitigation above central Queenstown (p.43). There is no reference to mass rapid transit or mass transit as public transport.
