Subject: Official Information request - Request for the latest traffic
data survey and key findings from Wynyard Quarter (WQ) monitoring surveys.

 

Dear Auckland Transport,

Pursuant to the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act, I
am requesting the latest traffic data survey and key findings from Wynyard
Quarter (WQ) monitoring surveys.

The Resource Consent for Wynyard Quarter set a target of a 30:70 mode
split by 2020, where single occupancy private vehicle trips represent no
more than 30% of the overall trips to and from Wynyard Quarter, and where
the remaining 70% of all journeys are made by sustainable modes.

The vehicle ceiling targets set for the area in the District Plan aimed to
reduce the number of single occupancy vehicles at peak times.

The split is also put into Plan Change 4 in the Unitary Plan, rather than
being just a target Auckland Transport (AT) might aim for.

Trip generation ceiling targets were specified in the Plans and are linked
to the extent and timing of development permitted in WQ.

 

BACKGROUND

 

Section I214.11 of the Auckland Unitary Plan identifies objectives so that
Wynyard Quarter can be developed in a sustainable manner. In order to meet
these objectives, the Unitary Plan has various policies and methods
specifically related to Wynyard Quarter. This includes the monitoring of
traffic effects both internal and external to WQ, with a methodology
specified in I214.11.1 Appendix 1: Methodology for Undertaking Traffic
Generation Surveys in Wynyard Quarter.

Appendix 1 also sets out the objective sand general description of data
required. The methodology includes survey dates and times, buildings to be
surveyed and the survey intervals.

In order to ensure that existing road infrastructure is capable of
accommodating the proposed development associated with WQ, trip generation
ceiling targets are specified in Section I214.8.2 of the Unitary Plan.
These ceiling targets are for vehicles to and from Wynyard Quarter from
all activities.

 

The scheduling of these surveys are referenced in Appendix 1 Objectives:

To confirm the vehicle traffic generated by the office buildings in
Wynyard (a)Quarter during the morning and evening peak period as surveyed
in 2009:

On a 6-monthly basis for two years following the date that Plan Change 4
(i) becomes operative; and thereafter, ANNUALLY.

 

Noting that there is a requirement for annual surveys, I request a copy of
the data from annual Surveys undertaken from 2012 to 2019 by, or on behalf
of, Auckland Transport.

I understand such surveys have been undertaken by Flow Transportation
Specialists on behalf of Auckland Transport in the form of a Technical
Note report that also compares data going back to 2012. I have a copy of
the May 2017 report.

 

If that is still currently the case, then only a copy of the most recent
annual survey (2019?), would most likely contain the  additional 2018 &
2109 information required, if it includes the comparative annual data back
to 2012.

 

Yours faithfully,

Adam Parkinson

Kia ora Adam 

I have just been advised that the 2019 Wynyard Quarter (WQ) monitoring
surveys will be publicly available in April 2020. 
Unfortunately we can’t keep the LGOIMA active till then and will need to
close the request under section 17 (d) of LGOIMA, the information
requested will soon be publicly available. 

I understand this may not be the outcome you where hoping for but I
recommend to check [1]https://www.wqtma.co.nz/plansandreports, in April
2020.
​​​​​​​ 
If you need to provide us with more information relevant to your request
or you have any questions, simply reply to this email leaving the subject
line as it is. We’ll make sure this information is added to your case.
