The final portion of transport works around the city’s new stadium has received the go ahead.
The Council applied for funding for a third stage of planned works and received advice from NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) that the funding would be unlikely to be granted through the National Land Transport Programme in the 2024-27 period.
Today the Christchurch City Council voted to proceed with the stage three works, rather than wait for future NZTA funding to become available or cancel the last section of works altogether.
The elected Council will work through the impacts as part of the ongoing Annual Plan process. Some future projects may need to be rescoped or deferred to balance the 0.06% rates impact.
