A fast-growing high school says a government inquiry into the school property system won't do anything to complete six new blocks which are only partially built. According to National, the review has sprung from poor financial management by the previous government. Up to three hundred and fifty building projects will also be reassessed, and some could be heading for the chopping block. Papamoa College is one of 20 schools with builds already put on hold.

If you've listened to Newstalk ZB for the past 25 years you'll be very well aware of the Auckland problem.The growing pains of our largest city have been endlessly discussed and debated, opposed and supported. Throughout the rest of the country people rolled their eyes and snickered at the JAFAs and the bed of thorns they had constructed for themselves.But all along people with an eye to the future were warning that the Auckland problem would spread soon enough and we hope you're watching and learning.So payback time. Let's talk about Hamilton.The city is growing fast. Of course it is. Smack bang in the middle of the North Island. Smack bang in the middle of an immensely beautiful and fertile countryside brimming with jobs. Easy access to ports in Tauranga and Auckland. A couple of hours from splashing around in Lake Taupo. I've always wondered why it hasn't got bigger sooner.The Mayor is worried about where to stick all the people wanting to live there. So Andrew King wants the city to sprawl and he says it needs to because it's too cramped.He's quoted figures out of Massey University that show that Hamilton is NZ's fourth largest city by population, the third smallest territorial authority by area and has the highest population density.By 2043, its projected population will be more than 244,000 - up from the current population of 168,000.Andrew King says "We've got about 1500 people per square kilometre in Hamilton. There is no other city than Hamilton that has a population base of more than 1000 per square kilometre." And he’s right. Tauranga has about 900 people per square kilometre. Wellington 658 and Auckland a positively roomy 223 per square kilometre. Strangely enough the sprawlier you are the lower the density numbers. But the sprawlier you are the bigger the problems."In places like Christchurch, you can get in your car and drive for 30 minutes in any direction and your are still inside Christchurch. We're very constrained," King said. So he wants the city to spread but that’s against the wishes of the neighbouring Waipa and Waikato District Councils.I’m sorry Mayor King, I haven’t noticed a crush in Hamilton at all. What I have noticed is exactly the problem that Auckland had in the past. I notice no transport infrastructure. No expressway through the city. The drive through the Southern Suburbs to get out of town is one of the worst in the country. Public transport infrastructure is bad. Now if you spread even further the congestion in the inner city will be worse than anything Auckland has ever seen. What Mayor King is suggesting is what Auckland did wrong 50 years ago. The rampant development of the Eastern Suburbs, Pakuranga and Botany without major arterial road or motorway access. With no public transport. 50 years after the establishment of Pakuranga the remedial work is still going on with a busway finally being constructed.Take a look at Tauranga Mr King where the Papamoa sprawl has created a congestion monster. Only now have they woken up and started to redevelop the city centre. The Mayors of Waipa and Waikato are right. Sort out what’s inside your borders before you start trying to expand them.
Tempers are fraying in the Bay of Plenty because of the state of State Highway 2 between Tauranga and Katikati. As the bay continues to boom and the population grows the improvements to the road have failed to keep up prompting protestors to start taking action.They call the road the worst stretch of roading in New Zealand and their campaign is called Fix Our Bloody Road. In the weekend they blocked a bridge to protest and today they’ve launched a petition calling for a moratorium on all development of housing alongside the road until something is done.Now I know the road very well, I’ve been driving it for a quarter of a century. It’s not the worst road in New Zealand but it’s definitely operating beyond it’s capacity. And that capacity is about to be stretched even more.The area that the road serves is about to boom with housing construction the way Papamoa boomed 20 years. 43,000 extra houses are needed in the Bay over the next 30 years and Northward development is the most obvious. The road is hopelessly out of date.It’s been the next to do on roading lists for a generation. A tender process for roadwork started in February, only to be mothballed with the change of Government. Simon Bridges was part of the protest in the weekend which I found a little rich since he had the opportunity to do more in the last government. Phil Twyford has referred the issue to NZTA. Now while that’s frustrating it, in a strange way, is probably the right thing to do, because I’m sick and tired of politicians thinking they can meddle in roading infrastructure decisions.These sorts of issues should be beyond political grandstanding and pork barrelling. They are jobs that need doing despite the colour of the government. The so-called holiday highway north of Auckland is a classic. It’s been on and off and too big and too small depending on the whims of politicians.Auckland’s East West link, which was due to be the most expensive piece of roading in the world was another strange farce.While State Highway 2 is a nightmare it has real competition from State Highway 16 to Kumeu and Helensville. The only reason it hasn’t become a deathtrap is that drivers have accepted it’s not the open road and you can only go at 70 or 80k.The real problem with SH 16 is that when the housing crisis really hit home government’s created special housing areas throughout the area that road services. The explosion in houses around Riverhead has to be seen to be believed and these new suburbs are feeding into a road that in places remains just 2 lanes. Who the hell is deciding to build houses where there are no roads or public transport. It just beggars belief.I know I’ve said it before and now I’ll say it again. The future development on New Zealand infrastructure needs to be in the hands of people who know what they’re doing and think 30 years in the future and those people are definitely not politicians.
