for failure to give effect to Government Policy
Frustrated by NZ Transport Agency’s failure to give effect to the Government’s priorities for land transport (GPS 2021) in preparing and approving the National Land Transport Programme for 2021-24, especially in regards to the requirement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Movement lodged a Statement of Claim for Judicial Review in November 2021.
The hearing was held October 3 - 5, 2022 in the Wellington High Court (see key documents below).
The High Court's decision on 1 March 2023 agreed with position adopted by NZTA and Minister of Transport that the GPS is only a “guide", "phrased in high-level and aspirational language” which is not needed to be given effect to.
The hearing was held October 3 - 5, 2022 in the Wellington High Court.
An appeal is due to be heard on 28 - 29 May 2024.
