NZUP Queenstown Package - Governance Group feedback (email)
Internal Waka Kotahi email from Richard Osborne (10 May 2022) reporting the NZUP Governance Group's response to that morning's briefing on the NZUP Queenstown Package (document 3 of the OIA-20263 release). The briefing had sought direction on rescoping to the baseline budget, seeking a budget increase, or both. The Governance Group asked for a proposal on projects deliverable within the $115 m baseline budget, noting trade-offs and benefits, with general support for prioritising the BP (SH6/SH6A) and Frankton North area. A further briefing on the prioritisation process and on what $115 m will and won't buy was due to the Governance Group on 23 June 2022, as the basis for a paper to the Minister. Next steps were to discuss prioritisation with project partners QLDC and ORC. The Alliance was to keep working on the full scope until the Minister's decision on scope.
