This note is part of a work programme to inform an officials-led assessment of the options for a full move of the freight operations of the Ports of Auckland Ltd.

Sapere was engaged as the lead consultancy to prepare a cost benefit analysis (CBA) of the options. The approach and results of the CBA were summarised in an integrative report, which is the main output of the work programme.

This note is one of a range of supporting reports across the other workstreams forming the work programme. It sets out in more detail the components, assumptions, sources and ultimately the treatment of inputs integral to the derivation of costs and benefits.
