Encouraging, but two crucial questions remain for us: (1) Will the roading changes LGWM proposes at the Basin Reserve be acceptable? Flyover debacle 2.0 must be avoided. (2) Will Michael Wood put mass transit ahead of building more roads in a Climate Emergency?

Why has no one been removed from the governance and leadership team? Why are the management team still in place? And why employ a new independent chairperson, a new programme director and deputy programme director to babysit the leadership team instead of replacing them?

Let s Get Wellington Moving to be overhauled with new independent chair Hamish Cardwell
Governance at the troubled Wellington transport renewal plan is to be overhauled and an independent chairperson appointed.
An independent chair of the board, a programme director for the three-year programme and a new deputy programme director will also be added to the leadership team.
Project partners, the city and regional councils, and the Transport Agency met with Transport Minister Michael Wood yesterday to discuss the findings of that review.
They agreed to speed up decision making by simplifying the governance structure, and bring in an expert in team collaboration for the leadership team.
NZTA to submit proposal to toll Puhoi to Warkworth motorway
The NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) plans to submit a proposal to toll the Puhoi to Warkworth motorway (Ara Tūhono) within weeks, despite fierce local opposition.
NZTA national manager of system design, Robyn Elston, says the agency is working to submit a proposal to the Minister of Transport in April.
Ms Elston says NZTA’s proposal will take into account feedback from a public consultation on tolling last year, but says the findings from that consultation will not be revealed until after the Minister has made a decision.
She says the level of public support for tolling will be a factor in the Minister’s decision on whether or not to progress with a toll.
