Key Issues identified LTP 2021-31
The Long‐Term Plan 2021‐2031 (the LTP) identified a significant backlog of road rehabilitation and reseal work, and made the commitment to address the backlog over the ten years of the LTP with an additional $5m to be spent over the 10 year period.
In 2021/2022, the first year of the LTP, just over $1.96 million was spent in road renewals and improvements for the year – more than double the usual spend in the years before the earthquake. Substantial reseals and road rehabilitation was completed on Hawthorne, Red Swamp, Mill, Mt Fyffe, Postmans and Schoolhouse Roads, resulting in 20% of the sealed road network being resurfaced in 2021-22. We look forward to updating you on the rural reseals that we achieved in 2022-23.
