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 land, air and water transport infrastructure investments, services, and regulatory activities. The appropriations under the Vote support the purpose of the transport system, which is to improve people's wellbeing, and the liveability of places. It does this by contributing to 5 key outcomes: inclusive access, healthy and safe people, environmental sustainability, resilience and security, and economic prosperity.

The major entities involved in the Vote are the Ministry of Transport; the transport Crown entities Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency, Civil Aviation Authority (incorporating the Aviation Security Service), Maritime New Zealand, and Transport Accident Investigation Commission; State owned enterprise KiwiRail Holdings Limited; and City Rail Link Limited, a schedule 4A company under the Public Finance Act.

National Land Transport Programme

In 2020/21, the largest element of the Vote is the funding of the National Land Transport Programme (NLTP) ($3,474 million or 53% of the Vote). The NLTP is funded out of the National Land Transport Fund (NLTF), which is made up of the net inflows of land transport and certain other revenue (eg, tolls) and associated borrowing. The NLTP compromises a number of operating activities classes:

  • State highway improvements $973 million
  • Local road maintenance $669 million
  • Public transport $594 million
  • Local road improvements $308 million
  • State highway maintenance $276 million
  • Transitional rail $100 million
  • Investment management $82 million
  • Walking and cycling $71 million
  • Road safety promotion $56 million, and
  • Regional improvements $42 million.

There is also capital expenditure on State highways ($258 million) and rapid transit ($43 million).

A $500 million loan facility for cash flow management (8% of the Vote) is in place. This appropriation does not take account of any repayments made and the facility may not exceed $250 million at any one time.

Rail

In addition to rail funding through the NLTP, in 2020/21, additional Crown funding for Rail makes up 23% of the Vote - $1,513 million, mainly:

  • $954 million equity investment in KiwiRail Holdings Limited to finance capital expenditure on the national freight network. $192 million of the 2020//21 funding relates to the New Zealand Upgrade Programme
  • $355 million for the Crown's 50% share of investment in the Auckland City Rail Link, matched by Auckland Council
  • $124 million to approved rail-related projects that contribute to the outcome of a lift in the productivity potential of the regions from the Provincial Growth Fund
  • $29 million for KiwiRail Holidays Act remediation
  • $15 million equity injection to New Zealand Railways Corporation relating to property transactions funded by KiwiRail Holdings Limited
  • $16 million to maintain the operation of the existing electric locomotive fleet
  • $12 million for metro rail projects in Wellington
  • $4 million from property transactions by New Zealand Railways Corporation, reinvested in KiwiRail Holdings Limited, and
  • $4 million for public policy projects and rail safety.
Road

In addition to the funding for roading through the NLTP, additional Crown and loan funding is provided for specific roading projects. In 2020/21 this equates to 8% of the Vote ($532 million):

  • $299 million for the New Zealand Upgrade Programme
  • $106 million for Regional State Highways
  • $79 million towards Provincial Growth Fund infrastructure projects
  • $28 million for reinstatement of State Highway 1 between Picton and Christchurch, and
  • $20 million in loans from the Housing Infrastructure Fund.
Crown Entity and Other Funding

The balance of the Vote ($565 million) is mainly split between:

  • $49 million for services provided by and capital expenditure incurred by the Ministry of Transport
  • $283 million for Crown entities for outputs and capital expenditure. The transport Crown entities receive most of their funding from third party levies, fees and charges. $201 million of the below Crown Entity funding for 2020/21 relates to the protection of transport agency functions in light of COVID-19. Crown funding is split between the Crown entities as follows:
    • Civil Aviation Authority (including Aviation Security Service) $194 million
    • Maritime New Zealand $62 million
    • Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency $20 million, and
    • Transport Accident Investigation Commission $7 million.
  • $130 million for maintaining airfreight capacity as part of the response to COVID-19
  • $31 million for SuperGold Card public transport concessions
  • $25 million for weather forecasting services from the Meteorological Service of New Zealand
  • $22 million for the Housing Infrastructure Fund fair value write down
  • $12 million to third parties for Search and Rescue and recreational boating safety
  • $5 million for Joint Venture Airports
  • $4 million for the Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast Transponders Rebate Scheme, and
  • $4 million to other third parties.

In accordance with the transport funding principles, transport regulator functions are funded through a mix of targeted taxes, levies, and fees, with a relatively small share of Crown funding. The principles use the concepts of club, private and public goods to guide the allocation of costs of providing policy and regulatory functions in the transport regulatory system. There is an ongoing programme of regulator fee and funding reviews to assess the appropriate regulatory costs and funding streams. Further, some Vote funding for CAA and Maritime NZ is provided from the Working Safer levy collected under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015.

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

Analysis of Significant Trends

Significant trends in Vote Transport are discussed briefly below. In all of the tables, the 2015/16 to 2018/19 figures are actual and the other years are forecasts.

Tax Revenue

Land transport revenue is hypothecated by legislation to the National Land Transport Fund, the majority of which pays for the National Land Transport Programme. In 2020/21, the Crown is forecast to collect $3,912 million of land transport revenue.

There are three types of land transport revenue:

  • fuel excise duty paid on petroleum-based fuels by the importer
  • road user charges paid by owners of diesel and, in future, other non-petroleum based 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 Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency.

The majority of the revenue is spent within Vote Transport with some in Vote Police for Road Policing activities ($395 million in 2020/21). Land transport revenue is forecast at least twice a year and the funding to the NLTP is adjusted upwards or downwards in line with revenue.

Regional Fuel Tax is not revenue for the Crown and is therefore not included within Vote Transport.

Revenue Trends
  2015/16 2016/17 2017/18 2018/19 2019/20 2020/21 2021/22 2022/23 2023/24

Motor vehicle registration (net) 214 223 227 227 235 227 231 235 239
Fuel excise duty refunds (59) (56) (65) (66) (68) (70) (76) (77) (79)
Vote Transport tax revenue 1,536 1,636 1,713 1,834 1,791 1,820 2,034 2,166 2,271
Fuel excise duty 1,941 1,969 1,969 2,053 1,977 2,092 2,252 2,297 2,341
Total land transport tax revenue 3,477 3,605 3,682 3,887 3,768 3,912 4,286 4,463 4,612

Over the years shown above, road user charges and fuel excise duty rates were increased in 2015, 2018 and 2019. There has been an increase in fuel excise duty of 3.5 cents per litre effective 1 July 2019, with equivalent increases in road user charges rates effective from 1 July 2019. Further increases are intended to take effect on 1 July 2020. This is reflected in the table above. The land transport revenue forecast above also includes the current anticipated impacts of COVID-19. Any further policy decisions on New Zealand's COVID-19 alert level system are likely to impact land transport revenue. This will be monitored by the Ministry of Transport, Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency, and the Treasury.

The land transport 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 annual appropriation is required. This disclosure provides a transparent view of the Government's books as the land transport 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. Waka Kotahi NZ 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 2018. The GPS 2018 came into force on 1 July 2018.

The current NLTP was adopted on 1 September 2018 and is effective 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 annual appropriations for specific purposes.

Permanent Legislative Authority Funding

Waka Kotahi NZ 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 infrastructure. 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. These forecasts incorporate the expected reduction in land transport revenue due to the impacts of COVID-19.

Annual 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 Waka Kotahi NZ 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 Waka Kotahi NZ 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.

Waka Kotahi NZ 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 Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency from the Housing Infrastructure Fund. $354 million is available over the four years from 2019/20 to 2022/23. Previously, loans have been provided to Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency to accelerate projects in the Auckland transport package and for the reinstatement of earthquake-damaged roads in Christchurch.

Other Roading Funding from the Crown

Land transport revenue is intended to be the primary source of funding for the roading activities within the NLTP but the Crown can appropriate additional funding if it wishes. The other funding for roading is for specific projects such as the reinstatement of State Highway 1 between Picton and Christchurch, Urban Cycleways, Regional State highways and the New Zealand Upgrade Programme.

Provincial Growth Fund - Roading

In 2020/21, $79 million of Provincial Growth Fund funding is allocated for infrastructure projects.

Capital - Investment in the New Zealand rail system

This equity funding is provided to support capital expenditure by KiwiRail Holdings Limited for the New Zealand rail system. The Crown appropriated $711 million to support capital expenditure for 2018/19 and 2019/20, and $954 million to support capital expenditure for 2020/21. As part of the Future of Rail review, the Crown has appropriated $565 million to support working capital ($266 million), rolling stock investment ($237 million), ferry assets ($52 million) and investment in improved resilience and reliability of core assets ($10 million). $192 million of the capital appropriation relates to the New Zealand Upgrade Programme.

Capital - Loans and Equity

This balance mainly reflects existing loans being rolled over and so requiring an appropriation. These loans will be converted to equity to KiwiRail Holdings Limited in 2020/21.

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. The balance also includes equity injection to New Zealand Railways Corporation relating to property transactions funded by KiwiRail Holdings Limited.

Other Projects - Operating and Capital Funding

For 2020/21, the projects include the KiwiRail Holidays Act remediation ($29 million), maintenance of the existing electric locomotive fleet ($16 million), upgrade of the Wellington metro rail network ($12 million), and public policy and railway safety work ($4 million).

Auckland City Rail Link

This funding is for the Crown's 50% share of costs ($356 million for 2020/21) for the Auckland City Rail Link which is being delivered by City Rail Link Limited. The Crown is a co-sponsor of the project along with the Auckland Council. The Auckland City Rail Link is expected to be complete by 2024/25.

Provincial Growth Fund - Rail

Most transport Crown entity activity is funded from the NLTP or fees and charges and so the Crown funding is relatively small. Majority of Crown entity funding for 2020/21 comprises funding for the protection of transport agency functions in light of COVID-19, Search and Rescue activities, incident investigation and reporting, as well as policy advice and ministerial servicing for the various entities.

A loan facility is in place for $85 million over 2019/20 to 2023/24 to provide loans to the Civil Aviation Authority for the purpose of investing in Aviation Security Service security screening equipment and the replacement of the digital regulatory technology platform.

The 'Other' category is mainly funding paid to third parties and one off projects. Key elements in 2020/21 are:

  • Maintaining airfreight capacity ($130 million)
  • SuperGold Card public transport concessions ($31 million),
  • purchase of weather forecasting services from the Meteorological Service of New Zealand ($25 million), and
  • Housing Infrastructure Fund fair value write-down ($22 million).

This balance reflects the proceeds of the property transactions by New Zealand Railways Corporation, which must be reinvested in KiwiRail Holdings Limited. The receipts are reflected in the Crown's books and there is an equal appropriation to recognise the increase in equity in KiwiRail Holdings Limited. The appropriation is included in the Rail Funding section earlier in this document as Capital - Property.

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 land transport revenue available.

The Government Policy Statement on land transport identifies ranges of expenditure that the government wishes to commit to different land transport activities. Waka Kotahi NZ 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. A revised Government Policy Statement was in force from 1 July 2018 relating to the years 2018/19 to 2027/28 and a new NLTP in force from 1 September 2018 relating to the years 2018/19 to 2020/21.

The current indicative expenditure for 2019/20 and 2020/21 is shown above in the Components of the Appropriation table and incorporates the current expected impacts of COVID-19. Expenditure may vary year on year for activities depending on the particular work being undertaken. More detail is available from Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency's website.
