And a lot of it is behind closed doors
Auckland Transport had released their monthly agenda onto their website. They have both the Open and Closed Agenda which you can see below:
Open Agenda
Love to know what this Customer Focus Committee is. Suppose we will find out soon enough
The Closed Agenda
Yes that is quite a lot on the closed agenda. I have noticed Mill Road is back up so I wonder what is on the table this time. Unfortunately it is the Confidential Section of the report so unless it is leaked we won’t be knowing any time soon.
The individual items from the open agenda: http://at.govt.nz/about-us/our-role-organisation/meetings-minutes/
[Update] I saw this in the usual email post from Transport Blog this morning in regards to the AT Rail Strategy which I have mentioned before:
From Transport Blog
The other paper gives is the forward programme for the board showing what is coming up for them to discuss/decide on. Naturally the next few meetings are more fleshed out than those 4-5 months out. Some projects that I picked up were.
- In March the closed session will see papers on AMETI, Mill Rd, Dominion Rd, integrated fares, replacing parking ticket machines, selling the diesel trains. At the capital review committee a few weeks before three is also a paper on AT’s rail strategy.
- In April there will be closed session discussion on the seawall in the city centre, SMART (rail to the airport), Mill Rd (again), AT’s rail strategy, Papakura – Pukekohe electrification,
Next month (I’ll need to follow-up with Peter Clark) the long-awaited Rail Strategy should be released which included the Manukau Rail South Link Business Case Study. All eyes from Southern Auckland will be watching to see what AT come back with for the link the South is patiently waiting for.

Nice to see that Lester’s policy of being more open and having less secrecy is bearing fruit.
