Wakatipu Transport Study

In a joint initiative, the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA), Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC) and the Otago Regional Council (ORC) commissioned GHD to carry out a comprehensive study which would inform future transportation decisions in Queenstown.

The solutions researched and developed focused on Travel Demand Management (TDM) and maximising the public transport services in the district. Since the completion of the study, GHD has been assisting stakeholders in implementing the recommended strategy.

Like all other GHD transportation initiatives, the strategy is future focused and innovative – shunning the construction of copious kilometres of roading in favour of measures which will prompt change in travel behaviour. GHD provided the clients and stakeholders with a clear and workable direction for the future of Queenstown.

The efficient movement of goods and people is necessary for our quality of life, economic prosperity and productivity. Appropriate land use policies, pricing, regulations and demand management are needed to underpin integrated supply chains and public transport services to create a sustainable transport system.

Study transport demand, traffic patterns and patronage, review safety and investigate strategic route planning, and its impact on industry and community with GHD, to offer sustainable transport options to support future development proposals.

Economic and population growth, greater urbanisation and increased mobility are boosting demand for new infrastructure and straining the capacity and effectiveness of existing infrastructure. Single mode approaches are no longer viable as governments and stakeholders recognise the need for multi-modal solutions across the whole supply chain.

Across the whole transport spectrum of aviation, marine, roads and highways, rail and transportation and logistics, our team provides integrated transport services throughout the project lifecycle from initial policy, transport economics and business case advice, through concept, procurement, detailed design and construction to operations, maintenance and asset management.
