Background Information Map of Horokiwi Intersection Median Closure Background Information Q: What has changed to make the NZ Transport Agency decide to close the median barrier now? A: The NZ Transport Agency is improving intersections all along State Highway 2 through the Hutt in the interests of road safety. This is in line with its duty under the Government’s New Zealand Transport Strategy. The high Horokiwi crash rate continues despite the banning in 1999 of right turns out of the suburb which followed 17 crashes in six years involving right-turning vehicles. Since then crash statistics and the heavy traffic flow are such that the Transport Agency has no other option than to close the barrier as soon as is practicable to prevent right turns into the suburb. SH2 is the only link from the Hutt into Wellington, with a traffic count of 43,000 vehicles passing Horokiwi each day. Even the slightest disruption of traffic flow at Horokiwi can cause traffic flow to break down and can result in delays and increases the risk of nose-to-tail accidents. Q: What work will be done at Horokiwi A: Work is expected to on closing the median barrier later this year. It will include realigning the median barrier to provide sufficient space to develop acceleration and deceleration lanes turning left into and out of the suburb. It will also include measures to improve the safety of cyclists through the intersection. Map of Horokiwi intersection median closure Q: What are the crash statistics at Horokiwi? A: Sixty-nine crashes, four of them serious occurred at or near Horokiwi between January 2000 and August 2008. Thirty were attributable to the gap in the median barrier, including: • Two serious injury accidents • Nine minor injuries. Q: What were the results of the July 2008 video survey? A: Just one day’s worth of video on 10 July 2008 showed a constant parade of cars suddenly braking to let turning traffic through, causing lines of cars to brake and come to a halt behind them. Some examples from the 10 July 2008 video survey: • Two trucks turning right across the highways into Horokiwi at the same time, travelling side by side • A near collision between a right-turning car and a cyclist • Two examples where a north-bound vehicle skidded heavily to avoid running into the back of vehicles that had stopped to allow right-turning traffic through • Left-turning vehicles leaving Horokiwi forcing their way into small gaps in the traffic, forcing traffic to brake. Q: Why won’t the NZ Transport Agency install traffic lights or a flyover at Horokiwi to make it easier to get across the highway? A: A number of options were considered but building a flyover in this location is impracticable. Installation of traffic lights, while they have their place, would not be a sensible option on this 100 kilometre per hour stretch of road. They would delay SH2 traffic and would increase the chances of nose-to-tail crashes, particularly because of the restricted visibility on the north-bound approach caused by a corner round the steep cliff face. It is not practicable to attempt to alter this corner. Traffic lights will be removed at other Hutt highway intersections as part of projects to improve safety and traffic flow, for example, the current Dowse to Petone Project. Other travel options may be possible long term following completion of the Ngauranga Triangle Strategy Study which is considering a link from Grenada to Gracefield. Q: Is the closure of the median barrier at Horokiwi the only intersection closure that NZ Transport Agency is making? A: The NZ Transport Agency is making improvements to intersections all along SH2 through the Hutt to improve safety and traffic flow. The barrier has been closed at the intersections with Hebden Crescent, Wairere and Pomare Roads, and Moonshine Road..

  • Assessment of Water & Sanitary Services
    Assessment of Water and Sanitary Services 2005 For the purpose of the water supply assessment Wellington City has been broken down into Brooklyn, Churton, Eastern Wellington, Johnsonville, Karori, Kelburn, Onslow, Southern Wellington, Wadestown, Tawa and Wellington Central. These are based on the MoH distribution zones in which these communities receive similar quality water from its taps. There are three main wastewater catchments in the city terminating at the treatment plants at Moa Point, Karori (Western) and in Porirua City. These will be treated as three communities for the wastewater part of this assessment. There are 42 stormwater catchments, defined by topography, in the Wellington area. These will form the communities for this part of this assessment. Table 1 shows the water, wastewater and stormwater communities in relation to each other. In the case of sanitary services, the community has been defined as the entire area of Wellington City. There are no major facilities (i.e. the hospital, educational institutions or the prisons) that are not owned by Council which have their own water supplies or disposal systems. 2.2 Non-reticulated communities The non-reticulated communities have been separated into the rural communities of Makara, Ohariu Valley, South Karori Horokiwi and the smaller Glenside settlement. Within the Makara community another community can be defined which is the Meridian Village. Within the first four communities all properties have individual methods of collecting potable water and disposing of waste and stormwater. The Meridian village has a combined water and wastewater system. There are 6 properties in Glenside which rely on unreticulated water supply, though there is uncertainty to which houses are served by the Councils wastewater system.

  • Forecast Fertility Rates (Births Per Woman)
    The number of births in Wellington City are derived by multiplying age specific fertility rates of women aged 15-49 by the female population in these age groups for all years during the forecast period. Birth rates are especially influential in determining the number of children in an area, with most inner urban areas having relatively low birth rates, compared to outer suburban or rural and regional areas. Birth rates have been changing, with a greater share of women bearing children at older ages or not at all, with overall increases in fertility rates. This can have a large impact on the future population profile.

  • Section 32 Report Proposed District Plan Change 45 Section 32 Report
    SECTION 32 REPORT PROPOSED DISTRICT PLAN CHANGE 45 SECTION 32 REPORT PROPOSED DISTRICT PLAN CHANGE 45 URBAN DEVELOPMENT AREA AND STRUCTURE PLANS Introduction Before a proposed District Plan change is publicly notified the Council is required under section 32 of the Resource Management Act 1991 (the Act) to carry out an evaluation of the proposed change and prepare a report. As prescribed in section 32 of the Act: An evaluation must examine: (a) the extent to which each objective is the most appropriate way to achieve the purpose of the Act; and (b) whether, having regard to their efficiency and effectiveness, the policies, rules, or other methods are the most appropriate for achieving the objectives. An evaluation must also take into account: (a) the benefits and costs of policies, rules, or other methods; and (b) the risk of acting or not acting if there is uncertain or insufficient information about the subject matter of the policies, rules or other methods. Benefits and costs are defined as including benefits and costs of any kind, whether monetary or non-monetary. A report must be prepared summarising the evaluation and giving reasons for the evaluation. The report must be available for public inspection at the time the proposed change is publicly notified. Background The land between Johnsonville and Tawa forms part of the natural land corridor that provides one of the two main access routes to and from the city. The recent history of the area has been one of progressive urbanisation. Pastoral farming has continued to decline and has been replaced, in the main, by suburban residential development.
