Executive Summary The Tauranga Urban Network Study 2011-2041 is a multi-organisation project sponsored by SmartGrowth as part of the current strategy review. Its purpose is to: · understand challenges that will be placed on the transport network over the next 30 years. These include the effects of population and economic growth, safety, resilience, the role of non-car modes and accessibility/severance · demonstrate the potential effect of these challenges on future network performance · develop a range of options and alternatives that ensure integrated future transport and land use decisions enable efficient transport investment The Tauranga Urban Network Study forms part of the update of the Tauranga Transport Strategy 2012- 2042 and the two are aligned. Page A 1 Introduction This section: · Introduces TUNS and its purpose and objectives · Provides background in terms of development of network and introduces alignment with current studies and plans · Provides an introduction to SmartGrowth · Introduces the Tauranga arterial network · Introduces key national and regional destinations · Describes current strategic road and rail networks · Considers alternative transportation modes such as rail and PT in the context of the road dominated system 1.1 Purpose and Scope Residential, industrial and commercial growth in Tauranga is placing increasing pressure on the city’s transport network. The purpose of the Tauranga Urban Network Study (TUNS) is to: · Develop a statement about how the current arterial network is functioning; · Identify the challenges the network is likely to face over the next 30 years; and · Demonstrate the potential effects of these challenges on future network function. In doing so, the study supports the national direction of the Government Policy Statement on Land Transport Funding (2012/13 – 2021/22) and its focus on national economic growth and productivity. The study has also taken into account other national, regional and district direction such as the Bay of Plenty Regional Land Transport Strategy and SmartGrowth. TUNS forms the evidence base for the Tauranga Transport Strategy 2012-2042 (TTS). The strategy has the vision that: ‘Tauranga is a place that is easy and safe to move around’ ‘Tauranga is built to fit our hills, harbour and coast’. The scope and scale of the Tauranga Urban Network Study (TUNS) is defined as the arterial road network contained within the area shown in Figure

  • Our Port History to Modern Day August 2013
    Port History to Modern Day S:\Port Information\Our Port History to Modern Day August 2013 2 EARLY HISTORY OF THE PORT OF TAURANGA 1290 Judge Wilson in his Sketches of Ancient Maori Life and History records that the canoe Takitumu carrying immigrants from Hawaiiki arrived in approximately 1290 AD and found Te Awanui (as Tauranga was then named) in the possession of a tribe of aborigines whose name, Puru Kopenga, or full net testified to the rich harvest to be drawn from the surrounding waters. 1769 In November, Captain James Cook passed close to Tauranga (pronounced Towrangha ) but did not enter the harbour. 1828 Probably the first European vessel to visit Tauranga was the missionary schooner Herald that called during this year. 1853 Captain Drury in HMS Pandora surveyed and charted the coast and harbour. 1864 Under the Marine Board Act of 1863, the Auckland Provincial Government Superintendent appointed the first pilot Captain T S Carmichael on 8 December 1864. He fixed leading buoys and marks in position to define the navigable channel, and his first piloting assignment was to bring HMS Esk into the harbour. The first house at Mount Maunganui was built for him late in 1866, to replace the tent in which he had lived during the previous two years. Copies of his early diaries are held in Tauranga s Sladden Library. Tauranga is probably the only Port in the country to experience a naval blockade. The Government of the day, fearful that arms would be run to hostile Maori warriors, imposed the blockade by notice in the New Zealand Gazette dated 2 April 1864.

  • Domain Road Interchange, Tauranga Eastern Link –Design in Liquefiable Ground
    DOMAIN ROAD INTERCHANGE, TAURANGA EASTERN LINK –DESIGN IN LIQUEFIABLE GROUND DAVE IDLE1, ANDREW WALKER1, RALF KONRAD2 1 Opus International Consultants 2 Peters and Cheung Ltd SUMMARY Soft ground conditions, combined with high seismicity and the risk of large liquefaction settlements have resulted in the development of an innovative design solution for Domain Road Interchange, where the new motorway diverges from the existing State Highway Two, on the Tauranga Eastern Link. The design was optimised from a single bridge over the main alignment to two bridges and three independent expanded polystyrene (EPS) embankments carrying the alignment over Domain Interchange. INTRODUCTION Tauranga is the major town in the Western Bay of Plenty with the largest port by volume in New Zealand. Together with the Auckland and Hamilton regions the area is expected to be home to more than 50% of the New Zealand population by 2031 (Statistics New Zealand, 2012). To meet the future demand the Government identified seven Roads of National Significance (RoNS) to support economic growth, improve operational efficiency and increase safety. A new eastern link was identified as one of these RoNS, providing a more direct route to the port, reducing journey times between Paengaroa and Tauranga and supporting managed growth of the area. The Tauranga Eastern Link (TEL) (Fig 1) is a $450million highway to meet this and at the time was the largest roading contract awarded in New Zealand (September 2010). The project comprises 12 bridge structures, four interchanges, 6km of upgraded highway and 17km of new road all designed within the Principal’s Requirements. The design and construct (D&C) contract was awarded to a Fulton Hogan HEB construction Alliance with URS, Opus, Peters & Cheung and Bartley Consultants providing full design services.
