Before a regional transport committee submits a regional land transport plan to a regional council or Auckland Transport (as the case may be) for approval, the regional transport committee must—
be satisfied that the regional land transport plan—
contributes to the purpose of this Act; and
is consistent with the GPS on land transport; and
have considered—
alternative regional land transport objectives that would contribute to the purpose of this Act; and
the feasibility and affordability of those alternative objectives; and
have taken into account any—
national energy efficiency and conservation strategy; and
relevant national policy statements and any relevant regional policy statements or plans that are for the time being in force under the Resource Management Act 1991; and
likely funding from any source.
