R and C Funding<br />

It is estimated that the entire R and C funds that will be (and have<br />

been) available are approximately $1,060 million, the exact amount<br />

will depend on the tax accrued from fuel levies in the region. Of<br />

these $1,060 million the region has spent (including spending to the<br />

end of 2008/09) $174 million. The region has made further allowance<br />

for future spending of $181 million, mainly on State highway new<br />

infrastructure, leaving $705 million available.<br />

The vast majority of R and C funds spent and allocated to date are for<br />

State highway projects. To ensure sufficient funding is available for<br />

other transport projects and modes, ARTA recommended to the<br />

NZTA that a cap of $661 million be applied to the amount that could<br />

be spent on State highway projects. This was supported by the<br />

<strong>Regional</strong> <strong>Transport</strong> Committee. The cap equates to 62% of the total<br />

R and C funds available, which is the proportion indicated in the RLTS<br />

for all roading projects. This leaves the remaining funding to be spent<br />

on TDM and passenger transport infrastructure, again in proportion<br />

to allocations indicated in the RLTS. This RLTP retains this position on<br />

the allocation of R and C funds. Figure 6.2 shows how R and C funds<br />

have been spent to date and future spending indicated in the GPS<br />

funding allocations. Committed R and C funding expenditure consists<br />

mainly of State highway but also includes public transport<br />

infrastructure such as bus priorities on arterial roads, as well as<br />

walking and cycling projects, such as the Orewa West cycleway.<br />

It should be noted that the above funding allocations for R and C<br />

funding make no allowance for road reconstruction or seal extension<br />

projects, which may make calls upon R and C funding if there are<br />

insufficient N funds available for these activity classes.<br />
