Consultation has concluded
With the help of stakeholder input and technical advice, the Council has developed a draft Integrated Transport Strategy (ITS) for Waimakariri. This is a strategic document which sets out how we will manage our transport and mobility needs towards 2035 and beyond.
Transport is a major contributor to how our District and people function, intersect and connect with each other and the wider region. An ITS has an important role to establish the future direction for investment in the transport system and aligning investment with wider priorities and policy direction.
In light of our local challenges (including addressing the different transport and mobility needs of both our rural and urban communities), as well as more collective wider challenges around climate change, funding pressures and policy drivers around the way we get around, housing and looking after our environment, Council has an opportunity to respond in a way that safeguards the inter-generational wellbeing of our communities.
Our vision is that “It is safe, easy and sustainable to journey to where we want to go.”
Our draft Strategy is proposing five Key Moves that respond to our challenges and drivers:
Create a well-connected multi-modal District
Integrate land use and transport to underpin higher density living in urban areas
Design the transport network for the efficient movement of freight
Deliver a safe transport system for everyone
Achieve travel behaviour change
For more information on these Key Moves, take a look at the draft Strategy (links to full and summary strategy to the right), or click on ‘Key Moves’ below.
The draft Strategy is for the community to comment on; please provide your feedback by 1 October 2023.
