Tony Randle: Wellington City Councillor on $250m mistake found in cost-benefit-analysis of proposed speed limit slash

Published: June 19, 2023, 7:10 p.m.

Wellington City Council must \xa0temporarily hit the brakes on its proposed speed limit slash.

In its proposal to drop many speed limits to 30 kilometres per hour, the council overstated - by $250-million - \xa0the cost-benefit analysis of reducing crashes in consultation papers.

Councillor Tony Randle spotted the mistake and told Mike Hosking it was peer reviewed.

He says more than one person made a mistake and it was one small error that multiplied.

Submitters are being apologised to and council will be briefed in August.
