13 Working with business • Commitment from the top – the Mayor’s Letter of Expectation and Statement of Intent • Also AT’s Board and Chief Executive: “I want us to be more consistent in our dealings with businesses and to recognise the need for us to work more closely with them when we are planning any works that could impact or disrupt their business”

14 What BIDs have told us • Key themes from recent discussions o Appreciate the role of BIDs o BIDs want projects to succeed o BIDs know their areas better than anyone o Need for early involvement o Need for better coordination of work

15 What BIDs have told us • Key themes from recent discussions o More and better communication o Be open and honest in communication o Need to constantly answer the “why” and telling story of change o Single point of contact at AT needed

16 How AT will work better with BIDs • New project management platform where all work can be identified by ward/local board area • Upcoming consultations reviewed weekly by ELT – template includes specific reference to BID engagement • Minimum six-monthly updates to BID ‘clusters’ on upcoming works • 2020 pilot of early consultation (Feb-March) by AT programme delivery

17 How AT will work better with BIDs • New road maintenance and renewal contracts include requirements for enhanced comms ($3bn) • Exploring ways in which info can be better coordinated on a geographic basis • Contributing to “joined up” development response activities • Working internally to increase business awareness • Readily available information, accessible to BIDs including: https://at.govt.nz/projects-roadworks/ (noting not all works are AT related)

18 Conclusion – talking leadership • Continued focus on improving safety across the network • Focus on providing more transport options / growing PT and cycling • Enhance customer experience across the network • Working together with our Elected Members and stakeholders • Capital programme and construction accelerates • Support AC36/APEC/Te Matatini/CRL/Growth Programmes • Continue to investigate acceleration of key roading projects • Work closely with Govt to mitigate funding risks and push for acceleration on ATAP projects delivered by others • Focus on value for money
