LGOIMA Request: Onewa Road Clearway
It has been 10 months since the public consultation on clearway options for Onewa Road, and 7 months since the results were scheduled to be made public. Apparently a consultant will be finalising findings and recommendations, but I think its important for us to see the actual results. We've waited long enough.
Attached is an Official Information request that I've submitted to Auckland Transport (CAS-451510-T5G3F6). I should have a response by 29 October.

Subject: LGOIMA: Onewa Road Clearway Consultation
To whom it may concern,
Please provide under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA) all emails, memos, reports and any other applicable correspondence and documentation, dated from 1 November 2020 to present, relating to the results of the public consultation on options to change the clearway on Onewa Road that was undertaken from November-December 2020, including (but not limited to):
* the raw data results of the public consultation, including any feedback or commentary received through the consultation (the participants’ personal details are not required for this LGOIMA request),
* any existing charts, graphs or tabulations that have been produced in relation to the data (however, if these do not yet exist, I do not want this LGOIMA request to be delayed while they are created),
* reasons for the delay in making the results public (the public were advised that the results would be reported in March 2021),
* any estimated costings for the proposed changes, and details of any budget that has already been tagged to implementing the changes.
For reference, the Auckland Council webpage relating to the consultation is:

The four options that were consulted on were:
* Option 1) Maintain the current parking arrangement on Onewa Road
Parking would still be available outside of peak hours when the T3 lanes aren’t operational.
* Option 2) Extend the Onewa Road clearway to all hours
No vehicles would be able to park on Onewa Road at any time.
* Option 3) Extend the clearway hours to run from 7am to 7pm on weekdays.
Vehicles would no longer be able to park on Onewa Road unless it’s after hours or during weekends.
* Option 4) Extend the clearway hours to run from 7am to 7pm everyday
Vehicles would no longer be able to park on Onewa Road unless it is after hours.
Thankyou
Cheers :)

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

Harbour Bridge lane closure - protests
The Treaty Principles Bill was introduced to parliament last week and could have ramifications on the partnership between the Crown and Māori.
Hīkoi mō te Tiriti (March for the Treaty of Waitangi) set off from Cape Rēinga on Monday morning and is expected to reach Wellington next Tuesday. It has now passed through Kaitaia, Kawakawa, Whangārei, Dargaville and is passing through Auckland on Wednesday.
What you need to know today:
- The hīkoi is due to cross the Auckland Harbour Bridge about 9.30am on Wednesday. Two northbound lanes will be closed at some point before the crossing, and remain closed during it.
- NZTA shared at 8:50am Wednesday:
'Curran St northbound on-ramp will be closed shortly, with two northbound lanes on the Harbour Bridge expected to close from approx 9.30am this morning. Allow extra time for likely delays through this area.'
- The hīkoi is expected to go across the Harbour Bridge, in a controlled fashion before marching through parts of the CBD towards Okahu Bay.
- Auckland commuters should expect traffic disruption in vicinity of both sides of the Harbour Bridge.
Stuff reporter Steve Kilgallon was at Stafford Park on the north side of the Harbour Bridge at 8.30am Wednesday and shared:
"I just walked through Stafford Park, where there’s about 400-500 people quietly assembled and more arriving; and about 20 police standing over near the motorway off ramp. Lot of Tino Rangatira flags in evidence, local streets very busy with parked cars."
Police have shared that they will respond accordingly to any issues that may arise along the route.
