Key points / Background
|
· The Draft
Government Policy Statement on land transport was
rereleased by the Ministry of Transport on 4 March 2024. Consultation closes
on 2 April 2024. This draft GPS replaces the GPS that the former Government
consulted on in August 2023.
· The GPS is significant as it sets out the Government’s
priorities for investment in land transport over the next ten years. In turn
it guides the Council’s decisions on transport investment.
· The
Government reviews the GPS every three years. The GPS outlines the Strategic
Priorities that are to guide investment, and then directs funding to
activities that will deliver on these priority areas. The
final GPS is required to be released by July 2024.
· The
four Strategic Priorities in the rereleased draft GPS are:
· Economic
Growth and Productivity
· Increased
maintenance and resilience
· Safety
· Value
for Money
· Staff are preparing a draft Council submission, the content of
which will be discussed at the information session on 19 March.

|
Key points / Background
|
· The Gambling Act 2003 (s102) and Racing Industry Act 2020 (s97)
require territorial authorities to have a policy on class 4 gambling venues
and standalone TAB venues. The policy must be reviewed at least every three
years.
· The policy must specify whether new class 4 gambling and TAB
venues can establish in the city, and if so, where they may be located.
· In addition, a class 4 venues policy may also include limits on
the maximum number of gaming machines that can be operated at a new venue
(within default limits set in the Gambling Act 2003) and may include a
relocation policy. The policy cannot force venues to close or relocate.
· The Council’s policy was last reviewed in 2021 and is due
for review in 2024.
