Auckland Electric Vehicles Trial Bylaw

Under section 61(3) of the Government Roading Powers Act 1989 and section 22AD of the Land Transport Act 1998, the NZ Transport Agency is proposing to create an Auckland Electric Vehicles Trial Bylaw.

The proposed bylaw is intended to facilitate ease of access to, and the effectiveness of, electric vehicles travelling in specific priority bypass lanes for the period 6–20 March 2017, after which the bylaw will be revoked.

A copy of the draft bylaw and accompanying schedules may be obtained on the website at www.nzta.govt.nz/auckland-electric-vehicles-trial-bylaw together with questions and answers.

We welcome your input and views on the proposed bylaw.

Submissions close on 13 January 2017 at 5.00pm.

For further information about the bylaw email: AEVTbylaw@nzta.govt.nz.

The amendments have been made under section 52Y of the Act as a result of the review of IMs that commenced on 10 June 2015. The amendments improve the existing methodologies for:

cost of capital;
valuation of assets;
allocation of common costs;
treatment of taxation;
regulatory processes and rules; and
matters relating to proposals by a regulated supplier for a customised price-quality path.

The reasons for the amendments are to:

promote the purpose of Part 4 of the Act (section 52A) more effectively;
promote the purpose of IMs (section 52R) more effectively (without detrimentally affecting the promotion of the purpose of Part 4 of the Act); and
significantly reduce compliance costs, other regulatory costs or complexity (without detrimentally affecting
