Vote Transport#

APPROPRIATION MINISTER(S): Minister of Transport (M72)

APPROPRIATION ADMINISTRATOR: Ministry of Transport

RESPONSIBLE MINISTER FOR MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT: Minister of Transport

Overview of the Vote#

Vote Transport encompasses the funding of the road, rail, aviation and maritime transport modes. The major entities involved are the Ministry of Transport, the New Zealand Transport Agency and KiwiRail, as well as the other transport Crown entities, the Civil Aviation Authority (incorporating the Aviation Security Service), Maritime New Zealand and the Transport Accident Investigation Commission.

Road

The largest element of the Vote is the funding for roading ($4,387 million or 82% of the total Vote). This is primarily the funding for the National Land Transport Programme which is funded from road tax revenue collected by the Crown ($3,585 million or 67% of the Vote).

$515 million of the balance (10%) relates to loans from the Crown:

  • $500 million for cash flow management. This appropriation does not take account of any repayments made and the facility may not exceed $250 million at any one time, and
  • $15 million for projects in the Auckland Transport Package.

The balance of funding for roading is provided by the Crown for specific projects. In 2018/19 this is $237 million for reinstatement of State Highway 1 between Picton and Christchurch, $35 million for Regional State Highways, and $15m for Urban Cycleways.

Rail

In 2018/19, Crown funding for Rail makes up 16% of the Vote - $844 million, mainly:

  • $234 million for the Crown's 50% share of Auckland City Rail Link
  • $230 million equity investment in KiwiRail Holdings Limited to finance capital expenditure on the national freight network
  • $164 million to roll over an existing loan from the Crown to KiwiRail. An appropriation is required for this transaction
  • $145 million to fund the reinstatement of the Main North Line following the November 2016 Kaikoura earthquake while KiwiRail await the outcome of their insurance claim
  • $50 million for metro rail projects in Wellington
  • $18 million from property transactions by New Zealand Railways Corporation, reinvested in KiwiRail Holdings Limited, and
  • $4 million for public policy projects and rail safety.
Crown Entity and Other Funding

The balance of the Vote ($142 million) is mainly split between:

  • $41 million for the Ministry of Transport as Departmental funding
  • $39 million for Crown entities for outputs. The transport Crown entities receive most of their funding from third party fees and charges
  • $29 million for SuperGold Card public transport concessions, and
  • $24 million for weather forecasting services from the Meteorological Service of New Zealand.

Details of these appropriations are set out in Parts 2-4.

Note - where restructuring of the vote has occurred then, to the extent practicable, prior years information has been restated as if the restructuring had occurred before the beginning of the period covered. In this instance Total Appropriations for the Budgeted and Estimated Actual year may not equal Total Appropriations in the Details of Appropriations and Capital Injections.

Adjustments to the Summary of Financial Activity Table Due to Vote Restructuring#

There have been no restructuring adjustments to prior year information reported in last year's Summary of Financial Activity table.

Significant trends in Vote Transport are discussed briefly below. In all of the tables, the 2013/14 to 2016/17 figures are actual and the other years are forecasts.

Tax Revenue

Road tax revenue is hypothecated by legislation to the National Land Transport Fund, the majority of which pays for the national roading network, as detailed in the National Land Transport Programme (NLTP). In 2018/19, the Crown is forecast to collect $3,694 million of road tax revenue.

There are three types of road tax revenue:

  • fuel excise duty paid on fuel by the importer
  • road user charges paid by owners of diesel vehicles, and
  • motor vehicle registration fees paid by owners of most vehicles.

The first is collected by the New Zealand Customs Service and the others by the New Zealand Transport Agency.

The majority of the revenue is spent within Vote Transport with some in Vote Police for Road Policing activities ($322 million in 2018/19). Road tax revenue is forecast at least twice a year and the funding to the NLTP is adjusted upwards or downwards in line with revenue.

Over the years shown above, road user charges and fuel excise duty rates were increased in 2013, 2014 and 2015.

The road tax revenue is hypothecated to the National Land Transport Fund and therefore can be approved pursuant to a permanent legislative authority. For transparency, the expenditure proposed is shown in the Estimates although no appropriation is required. This disclosure provides a transparent view of the Government's books as the road tax revenue is matched by equal expenditure. If the expenditure was not shown, the revenue would create an apparent surplus.

The figures shown by type of appropriation in the Summary of Financial Activity table (section 1.2) have been reanalysed by purpose, to allow for a more meaningful and straightforward explanation of the trends.

The funding by each purpose is explained in more detail below.

Government Policy Statement and the National Land Transport Programme (NLTP)

The Government Policy Statement on land transport (GPS) sets out the Government's priorities for land transport investment for 10 years. The GPS is a statutory document required by the Land Transport Management Act 2003. It also sets ranges of expenditure on defined activities.

The GPS is central to transport planning processes. Local authorities develop their regional land transport plans (RLTPs) using the signals provided in the GPS. The New Zealand Transport Agency selects projects from within the RLTPs to develop the three-year National Land Transport Programme, which gives effect to the GPS.

The GPS that is currently in force is the GPS 2015. The GPS 2015 came into force on 1 July 2015 (with some amendments made in February 2017). A new GPS (GPS 2018) is currently under development and will be in force by 1 July 2018.

The current NLTP is being extended until 31 August 2018. The next NLTP (that will give effect to GPS 2018) will be adopted on 1 September 2018 for the years 2018/19 to 2020/21.

There are two permanent legislative authority appropriations (PLAs) for the NLTP - one operating and one capital in nature. The other sections of this document provide more detail on expenditure by the different activity classes.

In addition to the permanent legislative authority funding, there are some Crown appropriations for specific purposes.

Permanent Legislative Authority Funding

The New Zealand Transport Agency balances the funding available between the operating and capital appropriations to deliver the NLTP. The Agency uses the capital appropriation to fund the delivery of new State highways. For transparency, the Agency manages the funding by allocating sufficient funding to the operating appropriation to deliver the activities planned. Any shortfall is reflected in the capital appropriation and is managed using the loan facilities detailed below.

Crown Appropriations - Loans for the Management of Cash Flow for a Three Year NLTP within the Annual Government Budget Cycle

The NLTP is a three-year programme, with the New Zealand Transport Agency Board required to approve funding for activity over multiple years. Variations in project timing, cost overruns and fluctuations in revenue may result in expenditure in a particular year exceeding the available funds, despite being within the expected range over the three years. Such negative cash flow variations may require adjustments to the land transport programme in the short to medium term.

This has been addressed by approving a borrowing facility to manage short-term cash flow variations between hypothecated revenue inflows and expenditure outflows. The facility allows the New Zealand Transport Agency greater flexibility and efficiency in managing the timing of any required adjustments to the programme. This loan has two components:

  • up to $175 million, for the purpose of managing regular seasonal cash flow cycles (to be repaid during the construction off-season, when revenue inflows exceed expenditure), and
  • up to $75 million, for the purpose of managing unexpected and unavoidable cash flow variations.

The New Zealand Transport Agency is in charge of managing the facility and it draws down the loan and makes repayments as revenue levels permit. The constraint is that the loan balance may not exceed $250 million at any time. In calculating the size of the appropriation, only drawdowns can be taken into account and so the appropriation of $500 million shown above is not a reflection of the net funding being provided. The size of actual drawdowns can be seen in the figures for previous years. The Agency reports quarterly to the Minister of Transport on the ongoing management of the loan against its terms and conditions.

Loans for Specific Projects

The Crown has provided a loan facility to the New Zealand Transport Agency to accelerate projects in the Auckland transport package. $375 million is available over the four years from 2015/16 to 2018/19. $15 million is available in 2018/19.

Other Roading Funding from the Crown

Road tax is intended to be the primary source of funding for the NLTP but the Crown can appropriate additional funding if it wishes. The other funding for roading is for specific projects, for example reinstatement of State Highway 1 between Picton and Christchurch, urban cycleways and regional State highways.

Capital - Investment in the New Zealand rail system (formerly the Turnaround Plan)

This equity funding is provided to support capital expenditure by KiwiRail Holdings Limited for the New Zealand rail system. The Crown appropriated $1,042 million in capital over 2010/11 to 2014/15 for the KiwiRail Turnaround Plan, $400 million to support capital expenditure for 2015/16 and 2016/17, $490 million to support capital expenditure for 2017/18 and 2018/19, and $185 million to support capital expenditure for 2019/20.

Capital - Loans and Equity

This balance mainly reflects existing loans being been rolled over and so requiring an appropriation.

Capital - Property Transactions

This balance reflects property transactions by New Zealand Railways Corporation, the proceeds of which must be reinvested in KiwiRail Holdings Limited. An appropriation is required to recognise the increase in equity in KiwiRail Holdings Limited due to the receipt of these proceeds. This appropriation is not additional funding from the Crown.

Other Projects - Operating and Capital Funding

There have been a number of projects over time for the metro rail network in Wellington. For 2018/19 and outyears the projects are to upgrade the Wellington metro rail network, reinstate the Main North Line following the November 2016 Kaikoura earthquake, and $4 million per annum for public policy and railway safety work.

Rail Funding to Other Parties

Rail funding to other parties in 2017/18 is for the Crown's 50% share of costs for the Auckland City Rail Link.

In 2014/15 and earlier funding was mainly to Auckland Council for the Auckland Electric Multiple Unit package. There was a loan of $490 million over 2012/13 - 2014/15 and a grant of $90 million in 2014/15.

Most transport Crown entity activity is funded from the NLTP or fees and charges and so the Crown funding is relatively small. The capital funding 2014/15 - 2016/17 is $11 million to Maritime NZ, mainly to replace a ground station for the search and rescue system ($8 million) and develop an information technology system ($3 million), and $3 million to the Aviation Security Service to fund baggage screening equipment.

  • purchase of weather forecasting services from the Meteorological Service of New Zealand ($24 million).

The funding of motor vehicle register and road user charges administration activity has been undergoing change and this is reflected in the decrease in line 1 of the table above.

From 2014/15, the administration fees for road user charges activity became third party revenue of the New Zealand Transport Agency and the related Non-Departmental output expense appropriation was disestablished.

Tolling revenue comes from the Northern Gateway road that is tolled by the Crown to repay the costs of the road.

During 2012/13, the New Zealand Government received $27.600 million in settlement from the owners of the MV Rena. This money was held in an interest bearing trust account until the balance including interest was transferred to the Crown during 2013/14.

Other revenue in past years was mainly related to the motor vehicle register and so has decreased due to the changes noted above. Other revenue is now only fines, which are usually around $1 million per annum.

End of Year Performance Reporting#

Performance information for this appropriation will be reported by the New Zealand Transport Agency in its annual report.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation#

The appropriation represents the operating expenditure of the National Land Transport Programme (NLTP) and its size varies each year depending on the activities in the Programme and the road tax revenue available.

The Government Policy Statement on land transport identifies ranges of expenditure that the government wishes to commit to different land transport activities. The New Zealand Transport Agency in conjunction with regional bodies then develops the NLTP, detailing how the funding will be spent and what it will deliver within the ranges. The Government Policy Statement is a ten-year document which is reviewed every three years. The NLTP is a three-year document. The latest documents took effect from 1 July 2015. A revised Government Policy Statement will be in force by 1 July 2018 relating to the years 2018/19 to 2027/28 and a new NLTP in force by 1 September 2018 relating to the years 2018/19 to 2020/21.

The current indicative expenditure for 2017/18 and 2018/19 is shown above in the Components of the Appropriation table. Expenditure may vary year on year for activities depending on the particular work being undertaken. More detail is available from the New Zealand Transport Agency's website.
