28 June 2005
The Regional Land Transport Committee (RLTC) meeting scheduled for 7 July has been cancelled and an RLTC workshop will
now take place on that day.
The original programme for the Western Corridor Review included a RLTC meeting on 7 July to coincide with a meeting of
the Transit NZ Board. This would allow for both partners in the review to be advised of the preferred corridor package
and the agreed package would then be adopted by both groups as the draft for public consultation, submissions and
hearings.
However some further work is required around the issues of risk and funding options before the final package can be
established. As this work will take about a month to complete the Transit NZ Board meeting in August would be looking to
adopt the preferred option. Similarly the RLTC would have the preferred option before them for adoption at their 18
August meeting.
Progress on this extra work will be presented at the RLTC workshop on 7 July.
