Regional Transport Committee
Purpose
To set the strategic vision and direction for the implementation of approved Regional Council transport policies, plans and strategies, and monitor their delivery.
Section 105(1) of the Land Transport Management Act 2003 requires every regional council to establish a Regional Transport Committee for its region.
Role
Prepare a Regional Land Transport Plan, or any significant variation to the plan, for
the approval of the Regional Council.
Approve any non-significant variation to the Regional Land Transport Plan.
Prepare a Regional Public Transport Plan, for the approval of the Regional Council.
Adopt a policy that determines significance in respect of:
variations made to regional land transport plans under section 18D of the Land Transport Management Act 2003;
variations made to regional public transport plans under section 120 of the Land Transport Management Act 2003; and o the activities that are included in the regional land transport plan under section 16 of the Land Transport Management Act 2003.
Create alignment on both strategic regional and public transport matters to encourage a co-ordinated approach to prioritisation and funding.
Make recommendations in support of land transport activities that are eligible for
national funding and align with the Regional Land Transport Plan.
Co-ordinate and integrate transport strategies and plans, while considering implications associated with the wider policy and planning landscape.
Provide advocacy on strategic transport matters to Central Government and other
key stakeholders as appropriate.
Provide the Regional Council with any advice and assistance the Regional Council may request in relation to its transport responsibilities.
Approve submissions to Central Government, local authorities and other agencies on Regional Transport Committee matters.

Regional Transport Committee – Regional Public Transport Plan (RPTP) Hearings
Due to the unprecedented number of submissions received to the draft 2026-2036 Regional Public Transport Plan (RPTP), and to allow staff time to process these – the original Hearings dates set for 19-21 August will now be deferred to a future date.
We will work closely with the Hearings Panel to identify suitable alternative dates for the RPTP Hearings and Deliberations before the end of the year and communicate the new dates to submitters as soon as they are set.
If you made a submission to the RPTP and would now like to speak to your submission once the new dates are locked in, please contact the transport team at: rptp@boprc.govt.nz to reserve a slot in the hearings schedule. Please also note that Hearings will still be held across Tauranga, Rotorua and Whakatāne with the option to present online.
