The Rodney Local Board approved Transport Targeted Rate funding collected from the Warkworth subdivision to apply a maintenance seal to the following roads: Krippner Road (Puhoi), Hepburn Creek Road, Upper Waiwera Road (Puhoi), Jones Road (Omaha Flats), Anderson Road (Matakana), Tauhoa Road and Omaha Valley Road.

Also approved from the Warkworth subdivision portion of the Rodney Local Board Transport Targeted Rate is funding for a fixed-route bus service for Warkworth for 2 years, including the installation of at least 5 bus stops. This new bus route is to service a connection for the transport hub, town centre, and residential and retail areas.

These 2 latest resolutions replace the previously proposed on-demand shuttle service for Warkworth.

Project overview

The Rodney Local Board Transport Targeted Rate was introduced by Auckland Council in 2018 after extensive community consultation. An annual rate of $150 is collected from all Rodney ratepayers by Auckland Council, and the programme is delivered by Auckland Transport on behalf of the Rodney Local Board.

The $150 per annum rateable property charge is projected to raise $46 million over 10 years to pay for new bus services and bus stops, park-and-ride facilities (Community Transport Hubs) and footpaths.

The RLBTTR was established on the principle that each subdivision within the local board area receive a proportion of the benefits that equates to the proportion of the revenue collected from that subdivision.

When RLBTTR is ring-fenced to deliver $46m worth of projects. When this level of income is reached the targeted rate collection will cease.

RLBTTR projects

The $46 million RLBTTR programme has been established specially to fund buses, bus stops, community transport hubs and footpaths in Rodney.

The Rodney Local Board recommended a long list of projects for funding from the RLBTTR. They were investigated then shortlisted for approval at local board business meetings.

Financials

The Rodney Local Board area is divided into four subdivisions. The following allocated spend per subdivision is based on the number of rateable properties (SUIPs*) in each subdivision. *July 2018.
