A summary of these documents is provided in Appendix A. Meetings were held with key stakeholders and Council workshops to develop shared outcomes and actions for the strategy. As part of the strategy development process, a separate report ‘Working Paper 1: Vision, Areas of Focus, Objectives and Outcomes Waipa Integrated Transport Strategy 2010- 2040’ was produced and is available separately. A Scoping report ‘Integrated Transport Strategy – Waipa’ was also prepared in October 2009. 7 | ITS Integrated Transport Strategy Strategy Framework The strategy is structured around seven areas of focus, which are; • Integrated Land Use Planning Waipa 2050 • Road Safety • Network Management • Freight Transport Waipa Integrated • Influencing Travel Choices Transport Strategy • Passenger Transport • Walking and Cycling Each has its own outcomes and actions identified. LTCCP Implementation of the strategy will be delivered primarily through the Regional Land Transport Programme (RLTP), Asset Long Term Council Community Plan (LTCCP), Asset Waipa District Plan RLTP Management Plans Management Plan and the District Plan. Figure 1 shows how the strategy will be implemented. NLTP The implementation plan sets out the detail for achieving the actions, including time frames, costs and packages of work. Together these components form the integrated Land Use Transport Transport transport plan for Waipa towards achieving the vision of Development Integration Project Project an ‘integrated, safe, responsive and sustainable transport system that supports community aspirations’. Monitoring the implementation of the strategy, and reporting on the outcomes will be critical to ensuring its Figure 1: Strategy Implementation Process success. The strategy will also be kept relevant through regular updates consistent with the Waikato Regional Land Transport Strategy review. 8 | ITS Integrated Transport Strategy Strategic Approach Traffic growth is expected to continue in the district. With limited funding there is a need Given the predominantly rural nature of the district, future land use patterns will focus on to ensure best ‘value for money’ is delivered through the transport strategy. The strategy consolidating growth and developing mixed land use patterns around existing nodes. This approach has been guided through the current Government Policy Statement on Land approach is directed through Futureproof and Waipa 2050 and will largely be implemented Transport Funding (GPS) and the desired outcomes of the Waipa 2050 strategy. through changes to the Waipa District Plan. With this in mind, the Strategy balances competing priorities and selects the best possible Due to their larger urban centres, there are more opportunities to provide and promote mix of activities for funding, given the current investment priorities. This considers a travel options in Cambridge and Te Awamutu. Travel options include commuter and local hierarchy of interventions focussing on land use planning (e.g. policies that influence the bus services and supporting infrastructure, walking and cycling networks (including through district plan) before the need for high cost infrastructure.

  • Fonterra Limited 92A Russley Road CHRISTCHURCH 19 March 2021
    Fonterra Limited 92A Russley Road CHRISTCHURCH 19 March 2021 Waipa District Council Private Bag 2402 TE AWAMUTU 3840 Attention: RMA Hearings Panel Commissioners Dear Commissioners, RE: FONTERRA LIMITED SUBMISSION ON PLAN CHANGE 12 Fonterra Limited ("Fonterra") lodged a submission generally supporting Proposed Private Plan Change 12 ("PC12"), as lodged with the Waipa District Council by Sanderson Group Limited and Kotare Properties Limited ("the applicant"). This position of support was subject to the provision of further information and further assessment on the impacts that the proposed development will have on the wider transportation network. Following the lodgement of the submission, the applicant has proactively engaged with Fonterra to address its concerns. It is now understood that PC12 includes a rule that any development / subdivision before 2035 within the northern half (Stage 2) of the Structure Plan area is a Non-Complying Activity. The Stage 2 area accesses onto Pirongia Road/Alexandra Street which is where the Te Awamutu Dairy Manufacturing Facility is located. The Stage 1 area accesses onto Frontier Road/Rewi Street which does not connect directly to Alexandra Street. The applicant anticipates that the traffic from Stage 1 will largely use Rewi Street and will therefore have limited effects on Alexandra Street. With no development of Stage 2 until after 2035 it effectively maintains the status quo for that part of the Growth Cell (and therefore no additional effects on the transportation network). Based on the information provided by the applicant setting out that Stage 2 will not be developed until 2035, Fonterra’s concerns have been addressed. In that respect, Fonterra supports the section 42A report authors recommendation that Stage 1 be rezoned from Deferred Residential Zone to Residential, and that Stage 2 should remain as Deferred Residential Zone.
