June 7 cut-off for transport funding feedback

The Consensus Building Group (‘the CBG’) is asking for feedback by 7 June on proposals put forward in their discussion document, ‘Funding Auckland’s Transport Future’.

The group have been seeking feedback through their website www.keepaucklandmoving.org.nz since they launched the document on 29 April. ‘Funding Auckland’s Transport Future’ is the consensus view of community, transport, environment, union and business representatives, each with a stake in finding the best solution to Auckland’s transport funding problem.

The Consensus Building Group (‘the CBG’) have concluded that there are two options capable of generating the additional revenue of $400 million a year needed to support the delivery of the Auckland Plan and are seeking public feedback on the options.

Electronic copies of the report and an online survey are available at www.keepaucklandmoving.org.nz. Printed copies are also available at Auckland Council Service Centre’s and Libraries. Public feedback will help shape the CBG’s recommendations to Auckland Council scheduled for July 2013.

If Auckland Council and the government wish to progress with the CBG’s final recommendations, it is expected that they will consult with Aucklanders on the impact and design of any new funding package.
