What is on the Mayor’s list for cost savings - to be discussed on 21 November 2024
From Wellington City Council news - 5 November 2024
Ahead of deliberations on 21 November, I have requested officers review and provide advice on options to reduce, defer or remove the following capex projects and programs.
Te Ngakau/Civic Square updates, focusing only on the work that Council has a statutory obligation to do
Begonia House upgrade
Bond Store upgrade
Te Awe Mapara – and what the impacts would be of reducing some of this unallocated funding
Khandallah Swimming Pool
Huetepara Park
Grenada North Community Sports Hub – with the possibility of doing smaller improvements now and deferring major improvements to outer years
Kilbirnie Skate Park
Frank Kitts carpark demolition and landscaping for the Fale Male and Chinese Garden
Otari Landscape Plan
Suburban Centre upgrades
Zoo Masterplan
City Streets transport funding - prioritising a low cost second spine bus route, cross city cycle connection and Cuba and Dixon St improvements.
Cycleways – recognizing the loss of government co-funding, whether we can prioritise completion of the primary network and get options for re-phasing the secondary routes.
