The report identifies risks affecting approval and delivery of the transport plan, including policy changes, uncertain long-term funding, limited data, political or public opposition, and competing user needs. Mitigations include remaining flexible, seeking funding, using national datasets, consulting communities, and engaging internal and political stakeholders.
Recommendation
Continue the proposed mitigating actions, including maintaining flexibility, lobbying for funding, strengthening funding bids, using national datasets, undertaking public consultation, and engaging communities and political stakeholders.
Financial impact
No specific financial amount stated; the report notes that funding is allocated annually and there is no long-term guarantee.
