Rodney Transport Targeted Rate Rodney Transport Targeted Rate

The Rodney Local Board Transport Targeted Rate (RLBTTR) was established in 2018 to deliver community transport services and infrastructure not included in the 2018 Regional Land Transport Plan.


Project zone: North / North-West.


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.
