This new transport corridor was selected as the best performing option as part of the Welcome Bay Growth Options Traffic Management Model (TMM) Analysis, 2018. Desktop analysis was undertaken to assess five separate corridors spread over three sections (eastern, central, western) which will make up the new transport corridor. This analysis has been undertaken to determine the feasibility of each of the corridors from both a cost and planning perspective. The three sections and five corridors are as follows: Eastern section − Corridor E1 connects Victory Street crossing Kaitemako Road and joining Lochinvar Place to connect to Poike Road. − Corridor E2 connects Meander Drive crossing
