RPTP Online Information Sessions

Public transport plays a central role in the daily lives of many of us in the Wellington region. It is important that Greater Wellington and Metlink public transport hear your thoughts on this key planning document for the public transport network.

Metlink has been involved in a range of stakeholder engagements on the draft Regional Public Transport Plan 2025-2035 (RPTP) since development commenced in 2023. The current version of the RPTP is the final draft for public consultation. As signaled in the annual plan informing document, as part of the Councils cost reduction measures, Metlink will be seeking to optimise the network based on the service design principles set out in this document. We have three important milestones in our public consultation process:
• 3 to 28 March 2025 - Public consultation on the RPTP.
• 6 to 7 May 2025 – Public submissions on the draft RPTP will be heard by a hearings committee of Greater Wellington Councillors at the Council Chambers, 100 Cuba Street, Wellington.
• 30 April 2025 - drop in sessions where you can share your submission in a more informal context with other members of the public and Councillors.
• During May and June 2025 Greater Wellington will consider and respond to submissions and the insights and information collected through the consultation process and prepare the final RPTP for Council consideration.
Following this process, the final RPTP will be presented to Greater Wellington for adoption on 26 June 2025 and, subject to Council direction, will come into effect 20 working days after it is adopted.
Our consultation includes a series of specific questions we would like our passengers, ratepayers, residents and stakeholders to answer.
The consultation allows you to provide more comprehensive comments on the plan, and gives you the opportunity to provide us with more information about your public transport context. This information will give us a more informed picture of how our strategic focus areas, policies and key initiatives are viewed across the region.
