Summary of Route 2 Changes
Bus Stop Changed |
Reason for Change |
Annesbrook Drive (Quarantine Road) |
Officers have decided to leave this bus for use along the Late Late Bus Route. |

Following discussions with the schools, officers have recommended that this bus stop be excluded from the current proposal, and that officers monitor feedback and usage data from this route and reconsider this location in the future. |
271 Nayland Road |
Officers have considered the feedback and are recommending an alternative location that sites both the inbound and outbound bus stops closer together, and results in no loss of parking. |
Main Road Stoke (Countdown) |
Officers suggest leaving this bus stop as is, for use of Route 1 and Overflow buses. |
Nayland Road (Nayland College) |
Following discussions with the schools, officers have recommended that this bus stop be excluded from the current proposal, and that officers monitor feedback and usage data from this route and reconsider this location in the future. |

5. Options
5.1 Whilst the Panel can make amendment to those proposed by officers (following receipt and consideration of feedback) the recommendations from officers are deemed necessary to ensure a successful roll-out of the new public service and to ensure safe and efficient traffic movements. Any changes may well require further community engagement and that will take time and will delay the roll-out of the new bus service.
5.2 Two options are presented – Option 1 adopt changes or Option 2 not adopt all changes.
Option 1: Adopt changes as attached for Schedule 4, 5, 8 and 9 without change. Recommended option. |
|
Advantages |
· eBus can launch successfully on 1 August 2023 · Changes to bus stops are designed to improve safety and efficiency. |
Risks and Disadvantages |
· Loss of parking in areas. · Negative public feedback |
Option 2: Do not adopt changes as attached for Schedule 4, 5, 8 and 9. |
|
Advantages |
· None |
Risks and Disadvantages |
· Failure to approve changes will delay the successful launch of the new eBus service. |
6. Next Steps
6.1 If the proposed changes are approved by the Hearing Panel, Council appointed contractors will be engaged to undertake work to meet the 1 August 2023 deadline.

Important considerations for decision making |
Fit with Purpose of Local Government The report recommendation meets current and future needs of communities in contributing to the safe use of the roading and parking network in the city to facilitate the new eBus service. |
Consistency with Community Outcomes and Council Policy The content and recommendations of this report are consistent with Councils Community Outcomes – “Our Infrastructure is efficient, cost effective and meets current and future needs”. In particular that we have good quality, affordable and effective infrastructure, and transport networks. This report is directly aligned to the requirements of the Parking Policy, the Parking and Vehicle Control Bylaw and with Council’s strategic direction through the Regional Land Transport Strategy and Regional Public Transport Plan. |
Risk To ensure that the new eBus service is successful and to ensure that the Bylaw is enforceable, it is important to ensure that the Schedules are updated as failure to update the Schedules will open enforcement up to challenge. |
Financial impact Costs are within allocated budgets for public transport improvements |
Degree of significance and level of engagement This matter is of low significance. Businesses and residents that could be affected, have been consulted with their views considered. |
Climate Impact The new bus service with the new electric fleet contributes to meeting Council’s emission reduction targets. |
Inclusion of Māori in the decision making process No engagement with Māori has been undertaken in preparing this report. |
Delegations The Hearings Panel has the following delegations to consider changes to the Parking and vehicle Control Bylaw.
Powers to Decide: The power to make changes to the schedules to the Parking and Vehicle Control Bylaw. |
