惠灵顿市议会在8100万美元成本超支和资金风险的背景下审查金色一英里项目。 Wellington’s council reviews Golden Mile project amid $81M cost overrun and funding risks.

惠灵顿市议会已启动对黄金一英里项目的审查，该项目预计成本将高达2.2亿美元——高于1.39亿美元——原因是费用不断攀升，包括考特尼广场部分的1500万至2500万美元的缺口。 The Wellington City Council has launched a review of the Golden Mile project, now projected to cost up to $220 million—up from $139 million—due to escalating expenses, including a $15–25 million shortfall in the Courtenay Place section. 审查费用为200 000至400 000美元,预计需要三至六个月,将评估财务风险和长期经济影响,而不重新评估项目目标。 The review, costing $200,000–$400,000 and expected to take three to six months, will assess financial risks and long-term economic impacts without re-evaluating the project’s goals. 理事会领导人引用了过时的费用估计数和对付息者暴露情况的关切,同时告诫说,改变可能会危及根据一个四年来的业务案例作出的51%的政府供资承诺。 Council leaders cite outdated cost estimates and concerns over ratepayer exposure, while cautioning that changes could jeopardize a 51% government funding commitment based on a four-year-old business case. 表决通过12票对4票,一些议员表示担心,审查可能导致项目终止。 The vote to proceed passed 12 to 4, with some councillors expressing fears the review could lead to project termination. 新议员利用他们第一次的演讲来强调买不起的住房和递延基础设施。 New councillors used their first speeches to highlight unaffordable housing and deferred infrastructure.
