1. Learnings from a programme
business case
Gavin Smith, Auckland Transport, Principal Transportation Planner
2. 2
• Multi- agency
• Programme Business Case for future urban areas
• Technical work completed in 9 months and full approval in
12 months
• Large scale ($7.6-9.7b)
What this project involved
6. 6
Why a Programme Business Case ?
– The size of the geographic areas
– Need for a combined agency response quickly
– The scale of land use change
– The lack of past assessments / projects
– Start the MCA story and evaluate a wide range of options
and alternatives
– Develop a multi modal and land use response
7. 7
The preferred networks have been split
into geographic regions identifying
• New or improved public transport
corridors
• New or improved road corridors
• Safety improvements
• Walking and cycling
infrastructure
• Future land uses associated with
the Auckland Council’s Future
Urban Land Supply Strategy

Lessons Learnt - Working together
• Partnership approach (joint governance, co-located) worked
well for this phase
• Helpful that all partners had ‘skin in the game’ and were
motived
• Helped achieve better land use and transport integration
• Built mutual understanding (process, outcomes). Became
forum for knowledge sharing
11. 11
Engagement for a PBC
• Great opportunity for early discussions and understanding
• Some challenges i.e. Expectations around level of detail and status of
projects
16. 16
Success
The Programme is moving onto the next stages
• Indicative Business Cases
• Detailed Business Cases, and
• Route protection.
The intention is to
• Route protect the entire network within 5 years
• Deliver on the first decade priorities from the Auckland
Transport Alignment Project.

Identified preliminary routes for further assessment
Multi-modal response
Public Consultation highlighted public interest in Public Transport and Rapid Transit Networks.
The information from our assessments, the information collected from the community, Local Boards and Mana Whenua, workshops and public sessions was collated and the preferred programme level network was determined
This network, the process to get to where we are, and our next steps have been summarised in the recently released public document
SmartGrowth is about place-making and creating new communities where transport and land-use decisions are integrated over a longer term time horizon.
