Documents produced prior to the 2017 public engagement can be found here.
The documents published below are workshop minutes and technical notes, some are still in ‘draft’ status. The supporting documents were prepared for specific purposes at specific times in Lets Get Wellington Moving’s programme development. They represent many of the inputs the Lets Get Wellington Moving team considered as part of their work in developing the Recommended Programme of Investment (RPI) and the draft Programme Business Case (PBC).
The documents may have been commissioned for exploratory purposes only and may contradict findings in other Lets Get Wellington Moving documents. As such, they may or may not have been incorporated into the final RPI and the draft PBC.
Proposed improvements included in the Recommended Programme of Investment or listed in the Lets Get Wellington Moving Indicative Package will be subject to more-detailed investigation, design, consultation, funding, and consenting before they are progressed.
It should be noted the terms ‘mass transit’ and ‘rapid transit’ are interchangeable throughout. Light Rail Transit (LRT) is a form of mass/rapid transit.

Review of Wellington LRT Concept – Risks and Opportunities – WSP Opus
Final Version Status: Technical Note – 1 June 2018
Purpose: WSP Opus was commissioned by Lets Get Wellington Moving to review whether the needs of LRT have been appropriately considered and to identify whether there are any ‘show-stopper’ or ‘fatal flaw’ risks associated with the options for mass transit that are emerging in the recommended programme; also, to provide high-level advice on how to maximise the opportunity that could be realised through investing in LRT in the Wellington context.
Mass Transit Route Workshop Minutes - Lets Get Wellington Moving
Final Version Status: Mass Transit Workshop Minutes – 5 July 2018
Workshop to undertake a structured assessment of mass transit route options through the central city, to determine a preference for evaluation as part of the RPI. Once the Lets Get Wellington Moving next steps are endorsed by the three partners, work can begin on investigation, design, and evaluation of mass transit. Further investigation will be needed to test assumptions used in this workshop. The final mass transit route will depend on a number of variables, such as the mode of mass transit selected and how best to integrate mass transit with other programme elements.
Preferred mass transit route – response to further queries - Lets Get Wellington Moving
Final Version Status: Internal Lets Get Wellington Moving Governance Group Report – 5 July 2018

It supplements the write-up of the mass transit route workshop held on 5 July to specifically address the further queries raised. Further investigation will be needed to test assumptions used in this workshop. The final mass transit route will depend on a number of variables, such as the mode of mass transit selected, and how best to integrate mass transit with other programme elements.

Wellington Light Rail Transport Integration – Te Aro to Newtown – MRCagney
Final Version Status: Final Report 10 September 2018
Purpose: This multi-modal transport and street design study for the light rail (LRT) line between Te Aro and Newtown centred on transport integration of the proposed LRT alignment and bus routes. The analysis considers how the LRT alignment could be coordinated with other transit modes to deliver an integrated transport solution.
Estimation of annual service delivery operating costs for light rail and bus network - MRCagney
Final Version Status: Technical Note – 11 October 2018
This technical note documents the methods, inputs and assumptions used to estimate the service-delivery operating costs of a proposed integrated LRT-bus network for Wellington.
These reports outline a set of initial projects that are low cost and could be delivered early in the RPI programme. Possible early interventions will require more-detailed investigation, design, and consultation, and will need to be considered alongside the sequencing of the full programme before they are progressed. The proposed early delivery programme, announced as part of the next steps for Lets Get Wellington Moving, is a more focused set of interventions derived from this long list.
