Major projects | kā kaupapa matua
For the next 9 years, we have developed a work programme that focuses on investing in our city’s infrastructure. We will invest in its pipes and roads and renew aging infrastructure to build resilience and to enhance and improve our city. We have also included investing in projects that will contribute towards meeting the challenges of climate change, projects that will support emissions reduction and contribute towards Council’s zero carbon goals.
Over the next 9 years, $2 billion has been budgeted for capital projects. Around $1.2 billion of that budget will be used to replace and upgrade things like the city’s water and wastewater pipes, reseal roads and footpaths, and look after recreational facilities such as playgrounds, pools, and sports fields.
Around $789 million of the capital budget is for new projects that will improve our city, and around $71 million will be used to build new water and roading infrastructure needed for the growth that our city is experiencing.
Some of the major capital projects included in this 9 year plan are outlined below. More detailed information on the capital programme is provided in Section 4 of this plan.
