Infrastructure Policy Priorities for New Zealand The problem - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Infrastructure Policy Priorities for New Zealand

• The problem • Transport investment – international comparisons • Funding gap • Solutions: – Debt financing: Infrastructure Bonds, PPPs – Tax Increment Financing – TIF – Asset sales – Network access charge proposal

• Congestion key issue – Auckland’s congestion worse than much larger Australian cities • Underdeveloped public transport networks • Freight load expected to double over the next two decades • High inbound & outbound shipping costs • Poor safety margins across state highway network – Yet tourism No 1 export earner

42 million hours per annum of lost productive time on Auckland’s motorways and state highways... GDP/ hr worked = $43 (leisure $21.50 / hr) 1.00 Assuming 50% trips work related: • Productivity loss = $900m per annum 0.90 Average delay in minutes per kilometre • Lost leisure time = $450m per annum 0.80 • Total cost of delay = $1,350m 0.70 2004 0.60 2005 2006 0.50 2007 2008 0.40 2009 0.30 2010 2011 0.20 0.10 0.00 Morning Peak Inter Peak Evening Peak Day Average Times of the day Source:http://monitorauckland.arc.govt.nz/transport/transport-patterns/average-delay-per-kilometre.cfm

• Council or government • All forms of debt debt • Allow time payment • Infrastructure Bonds • Intergenerational equity • Public Private Partnerships • But… • Where does the money come from to repay the debt?

• Increase rates – up to 50% • Regional Fuel Tax – up to 50 cents per litre • National fuel tax incl RUC – 16 cents per litre • Parking Charges Partial funding • Tax Increment Finance (TIF) contribution • Asset Sales • Network tolls

• $9 billion supplemented by other • Revenue: revenue streams could fund • 915,000 cars / day join the major transport projects motorway system • Funding source for PPPs etc • “Average” $2.00 per car = $1.8m / day • = $ 668 m per annum • NPV $668m per annum over 30 years @ 6% = $9 billion • Equivalent to… 50% increase in rates or 40 cents per litre regional fuel tax

• Number plate recognition • $6.00 daily cap • Cost of collection 20% • Potential for real time pricing

1. 10 year Capital Intentions Plan 2. Demand management & pricing 3. Improve access to information esp whole of life asset management 4. Performance indicators and annual stock-take 5. Spatial and regional infrastructure planning 6. Scenario modelling 7. Resilience incl lessons from Christchurch earthquakes 8. Explore alternative funding • Improved partnerships and research programme • Evolution towards more detailed project specific plan on 2014

• Auckland transport system requires significant investment to support regional growth • Current funding methods are insufficient on their own – both nationally and regionally • Debt can be used to enable early progress but where does the revenue come from to service the debt? • TIF, asset sales and parking charges have potential to part fund new investment • Network pricing is means to achieve a step change in transport funding and delivering transport network efficiency

People support network pricing... More More buses trains More time with my son Greater efficiency More More fares More deliveries jobs done More cycle tracks More transport choices Faster More trips sales Lower We car rates pool
