Francesca Rudkin: A new Western Springs stadium is an exciting opportunity

Early Edition with Kate Hawkesby

Gee, we've gone stadium mad here in Auckland. We already have seven pretty substantial stadiums ranging from 4000-person capacity to 50,000, spread across the city from the North Shore to Mt Eden, Penrose to Manukau, not including other sporting and event spaces. But we can't stop suggesting we build more. While we wait for Auckland's Councilors to ponder feasibility studies done by Eden Park and the proposed new waterfront stadium in Quay Park and announce who will go on to win the title of Auckland's main stadium – another stadium is being pitched, this time for Western Springs. So, Western Springs Speedway has its final event on Saturday night —although we've heard that before— and now Auckland Council is interested in what to do with this valuable inner-city site. This is a really exciting opportunity, especially after years of kafuffle around the speedway. Auckland might not need another entertainment or sporting venue, but they are really nice to have, especially when someone else is coughing up the money for them. So, Auckland has to ask itself: what facilities do we need? What would the inner city benefit from, and can these new facilities be used by as many teams, and individuals as possible. Real estate this valuable needs to be well utilised, year-round. That's why I like the proposal from the team behind Auckland FC. The proposal for their new facility features a 12,500 seated stadium, covered basketball courts and padel courts. It's championed and backed by NBA star Steven Adams, All Blacks rugby legend Ali Williams, Anna Mowbray of ZURU fame, and Billionaire football club owners Bill Foley and Bennett Rosenthal. The group have targeted football, basketball and padel because they are the fastest-growing sports in the world but lack infrastructure in Auckland. They aren't just meeting a community need, it would also be the home of Auckland FC, signalling this team is a long-term commitment. These are all good things. I would observe things have gone pretty well at Go Media Stadium for Auckland FC this season, but maybe not everyone likes traveling to Penrose. Maybe it's felt an inner-city location near hospo hubs will help sustain interest in the team. According to those who have seen the proposal, this sporting facility would be built “at zero cost to the ratepayer”. The only downside is existing occupants Ponsonby Rugby Club would need to move – and they would need to be supported to do this. There are two more proposals. The Ponsonby Rugby Club wants to turn it into a bigger venue, and an entertainment group wants to turn it into a multi-purpose entertainment and community sports venue, but we're yet to hear details for these proposals. In fact, there is a lot of information we're yet see, but fingers crossed this process will move faster than the decision around the Speedway. Whatever plans are presented, remember the locals are a vocal and determined lot. Win them over, and you might just have a chance. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Maungawhau station, formerly Mt Eden station, closed in July 2020 for reconstruction as part of the City Rail Link. Delays during the COVID-19 lockdowns extended the construction process, and the station is now expected to reopen in early 2024.  Starting on October 14th, Western line trains have been running at reduced frequency to allow for testing at the station, indicating that the station may be almost completed. Trains across the city have also been affected by unplanned disruptions over the past few months, most recently on the Western line with a series of power outages.  For City Counselling this week I asked Councillor Julie Fairey about the timeline on Maungawhau station, the upcoming Te Waihorotiu and Karanga-ā-hape stations, and power outages across the rail network.

The boss of Auckland's City Rail Link is giving no guarantees it will hit its opening deadline of 2026. Preliminary work on the 3.4km track, spanning four underground stations, from downtown's Britomart to Mt Eden, began in 2016. But CRL chief executive Sean Sweeney says reaching that deadline of 2026 - 10 years later - is not guaranteed. The latest cost projection of the build is 5.49 billion dollars - and once it is up and running, it's is set to cost Auckland ratepayers an estimated 220 million dollars a year to maintain. It will serve as connecting link between existing rail services , making most of the central city accessible by train. An engineer ,Sean Sweeney has spent four decades working across the world overseeing such big construction jobs. But as he tells Kathryn Ryan, he believes Auckland is the most expensive place in the world for infrastructure projects.

Sean Sweeney: CRL chief on Auckland's City Rail Link not opening until 2026 at the earliest

Auckland's $5.5 billion City Rail Link (CRL) will not open until sometime in 2026 or later, the Herald can reveal. This is at least 18 months longer than what was forecasted only a few months ago when the cost of the project blew out by $1.1b to $5.5b and the completion date moved from late 2024 to November 2025. In an exclusive interview during a tour of the mega-project, City Rail Link chief executive Dr Sean Sweeney said the latest completion date is not when Aucklanders will get to ride the underground railway. He said November 2025 is when City Rail Link Ltd hands over the brand spanking new 3.4-kilometre track from Britomart to Mt Eden to Auckland Transport and KiwiRail, which then have to do extensive testing before it opens to passengers. Sweeney was reluctant to say how long that could be, but when pressed said: “As a ballpark guess, I'd say six months, but people need to understand that numbers could change a lot, based on what happens.” The big issue vexing the minds of Sweeney and the Alliance contractor is moving from the construction of the tunnels and stations to the complex and risky phase of installing bespoke software and signalling work, and plugging a state-of-the-art railway into the existing, fault-ridden network. Three years ago, Sweeney told the Herald there are going to be challenges at the “back end”, and the problem is made worse because a metro rail system has never been built in New Zealand. At the time, he was commenting on the Crossrail line under London that encountered massive and costly overruns after back-end problems just as everyone was doing victory laps - the chairman got a knighthood and later got sacked. Sweeney said Crossrail was a much more complex project and does not envisage similar problems with the CRL, but did acknowledge plugging new plants and equipment into the existing rail network could lead to “unintended consequences”. Full testing of the new systems is expected to begin in mid-2024 and will take about a year, said Sweeney, who is planning to finish the job before the November 2025 date. One of the biggest issues that needs testing, he said, is a fire on a train in the tunnel. After the handover, AT and KiwiRail have to go through another set of tests, which Sweeney said is not straightforward and involves a lot of operational and training exercises. “There are exhaustive tests that they will have to go through, and safety checks, before they are allowed to run passengers,” Sweeney said. For example, every one of the 240 drivers in Auckland will have to go through the tunnels for training. An AT spokeswoman could not say when trains will start running on the CRL, saying it is working with CRL Ltd and the Alliance contractor, Auckland One Rail, the rail safety regular Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency and other stakeholders on a plan to begin as early as possible. The plan involved critical testing of the new systems before trains can operate, including emergency and evacuation protocols, driver training, signalling and other important systems needed to operate the CRL safely. “We will be able to confirm the dates for CRL operations once this programme is complete,” she said. Artist's impression of what the Karanga-a-Hape station will look like once it opens. Photo / Supplied Auckland Chamber of Commerce chief executive Simon Bridges, who was Minister of Transport when work started on the CRL in 2016, said a 2026 opening date is far too long. “While most big infrastructure projects do take longer than is said when they start, a critical mistake here was not continuing during Covid lockdowns, when in hindsight we could have, if anything, picked up the pace in a safe and appropriate way.  “That said, when it does open, my pick is that the vast majority of people will forget all the criticism, and Auckland will be in for a pretty golden period given the upgraded transport link, a new convention centre, and hopefully, an upward swing in cyclical economic activity,” said the former MP for Tauranga, who's now a resident of and cheerleader for the Super City. Bridges said the long wait to get to the finish line is little comfort to businesses disrupted - and in some cases, devastated - by the construction works. “But in a wider Auckland sense, it will be exciting when it eventually opens,” he said. Auckland Business Chamber chief executive Simon Bridges and Heart of the City chief executive Viv Beck are disappointed about the time it is taking to build the CRL. Photo / Brett Phibbs Heart of the City chief executive Vic Beck, who has battled tirelessly for businesses impacted by the CRL works, said uncertainty looms large for the project. “It is extremely disappointing for the city that the benefits won't be reaped sooner, and particularly for those impacted by construction. This creates more anxiety because there is no fixed date for it to be operational. For some, that could now be up to 10 years of major disruption and impacts on them and their business,” she said. Beck has called for a review of the $12 million fund set aside for affected businesses to be sped up, saying no one should lose their livelihood for a public project. - Bernard Orsman, NZHSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Heather du Plessis-Allan: Does the police reviewing their pursuit policy count as change?

I'm going to hold off on celebrating the police announcement this morning that they're reviewing their pursuit policy. Because I smell politics all over this, and I want to see what they're doing before I give Police National Headquarters any praise. What's changed? Nothing, nothing's changed. They're still not chasing cars that are fleeing from them, are they? They're just thinking about it. Just overnight, there were two incidents in Auckland that we know of, where the cops weren't allowed to chase. One started in MT Eden. Police told them to stop, car took off and police didn't chase, got the helicopter up and eventually found them in person.  Another, cops got info that someone was interfering with a vehicle in the central city. Fled the scene, police saw the car later in Grafton.  They wouldn't stop, cops didn't chase, Eagle spotted the car in Newmark, and two young people were arrested. We clearly have a serious crime problem, serious enough for the police to feel like they need to front up in media. To tell us they're reviewing their policy, but not serious enough to allow those officers to chase. So right now, nothing's changed. And by the way, they've been reviewing this policy since May this year. How long do you need to review a policy for?  It's already six months, it's not that complicated. They can already see that it's not working.  As Andrew Coster says, since he made the changes two years ago, it's led to a significant increase in people running from the cops. And a significant decrease in the proportion of offenders identified.  Really.  We could've told them that would've happened. I'm not going to praise Andrew Coster for finally admitting what was obvious to us all. I'll save it for when he has the courage to actually reverse his mistake and let his cops chase.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hundreds of injuries from high intensity interval training such as Crossfit and F45 are being reported to ACC each year, with a steep rise in the last four years. HIIT involves a circuit of short bursts of intense exercise, usually cardio and weights, alternating with periods of recovery. But data from ACC shows the number of accidents is increasing each year, with 652 new claims last year alone. Soft tissue injuries are the most common type of incidents, but fractures and dislocations, dental injuries, deafness, concussion and brain injuries, and lacerations, punctures and stings have also been reported. Kathryn speaks to David Woodbridge, the director and principal physiotherapist at Functional Physio, in Mt Eden who has been treating injuries as a result of HIIT and ACC's injury prevention leader James Whitaker.

Nothing beats time spent practising to develop a skill. Getting better requires doing the work. But practice doesn't go the distance unless it's self-motivated.Inner drive is crucial to realising potential - I've seen it play out countless times in aspiring athletes.And there's no better example than David Gerrard - a man who swam for NZ at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.Growing up, David would strap his togs to the handlebars, throw his towel around his neck and bike his way the few blocks to the Mt Eden pool. His mum and dad never woke him up at 5 am to get him to the pool. He knew what he had to do to get better. And if he wasn't prepared to it, that was his problem.David's internal drive to get better not only served him well in his athletics but in a long and illustrious career in medicine.David worked a the University of Otago for 35 years and became a Professor in 2014. He retired two years later and was granted the title of Emeritus Professor.He has also held a number of highly distinguished sport administration roles including Chef de Mission at the 1994 Victoria Commonwealth Games and 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, Medical Commissioner to eight Summer Olympic Games, Chairman of Drug Free Sport NZ, a member of World Rugby's Anti Doping Advisory Committee, Chair of the World Anti-Doping Agency Therapeutic Use Exemption Committee and President of Swimming NZ.In 2007, David was appointed a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit.Today he shares his inspirational story, dropping pearls of wisdom along the way.This is a conversation about the type of motivation that breeds success, and where it comes from.It's also a conversation about fairness in sport. And in life. Inspired early in life by Ludwig Gutmann - founder of the Paralympic Games - David learnt the importance of equitable environments. His life's work in sports medicine and the use of therapeutic drugs to level the playing field in sport is clear evidence of that.But more than anything else, this is a conversation about values. Raised by working-class parents in the 1950s, David grew up learning the importance of knowing where you come from and the power of unconditional familial support.David is a thoughtful and kind man and I love this conversation.To read more and listen click here. Craig -
