Integrated Transportation Assessments (ITAs) are becoming an increasingly common method used by District Councils (administrators of New Zealand’s development regulatory structure) to assess the potential effects of proposed developments on the transport network.
Best practice guidelines for ITAs undertaken in New Zealand have been published which specify when an ITA should be required (Abley, Purdin and Douglass, 2010). These guidelines only recommend requiring (and consequently only provide guidance for) ITAs for significantly sized developments. However, in regulatory practice, it is becoming increasingly common for territorial authorities to require ITAs for smaller scale developments as these developments also have the potential for effects on the transportation network.
Abley et al’s research does not address whether assessment should be required for smaller scale developments. There is no other New Zealand based guidance which identifies whether it is appropriate to assess the effects (including cumulative effects) of small scale developments on the transport network either.
Since Abley et al’s research report was released, there has been far greater acknowledgement of the close relationship and dependencies between network management and land use planning, and the need to integrate and align these practices to achieve the best possible outcomes. Consequently, to address the question of whether such assessment is appropriate, there are several matters which need to be taken into account. These include:
a. consideration of the changing network management practices, including the increasing use of Network Operating Frameworks and the One Network Roading Classification
b. the current push for increased efficiency and effectiveness within government services
c. research into why and how some District Councils are assessing the effects of small scale developments on the transport network
If the first stage of the research indicates that assessment of small scale1 developments is required and appropriate, identification of a suitable tool to recognise and assess the effects of small scale developments on the transportation network is required. This should specify what the scope, content and process should be required for the identified tool to be successfully utilised.
