Palmerston North-Manawatu Strategic Transport Study, Contract No 2009/18 Phase 2 Report 10426_1 v2 phase 2 report.doc 1 Executive Summary Aims The broad aims of the Palmerston North-Manawatu Strategic Transport Study are: to develop an integrated transport network for the study area, with a key focus on confirming a road hierarchy to identify the road improvements and develop a programme of works to give effect to the proposed road hierarchy. A Phase 1 Report, dated March 2010, summarised the findings of previous studies and existing strategies, and identified the issues and constraints to be addressed during Phase 2. This Phase 2 report assesses the road hierarchy options and their supporting improvements, and presents a preferred option. Deficiencies The major deficiencies of the existing rural road network within the core study area are: the SH3 route between Sanson and the Manawatu Gorge passing through Palmerston North is inefficient as an inter-regional route

This accommodation comprises all private and licensed hotels, motels, motor hotels and camping ground cabins . 'Private Hotels' are defined by the fourth schedule of the Town and Country Planning Regulations 1960 and Ordinance 1, Clause 3 of the Code of Ordinances as being 'a residential building not being a 1 2 licensed hotel in which board and lodging is provided for five or more lodgers for reward or payment.'
