Summary

Project Overview

Client: Foodstuffs North Island Limited
Location: Multiple sites across the North Island
Scope: Traffic engineering and transport planning for supermarket developments
Challenges: Site-specific access design, high vehicle volumes, compliance with local authority requirements

Our Approach

Site Access Design & Modelling
We conducted comprehensive assessments of site access options for each development, working closely with Road Controlling Authorities. Using macro and micro transport modelling, we evaluated traffic impacts and optimised access arrangements.

On-Site Layout & Mitigation Planning
Each site required tailored internal layout designs to ensure efficient vehicle circulation, car parking, and service areas. We identified and implemented mitigation measures to minimise effects on the surrounding transport network.

Integrated Transport Assessment & Expert Evidence
TPC prepared detailed Integrated Transport Assessment (ITA) reports to support resource consent applications. When required, we presented expert traffic evidence at Council hearings and the Environment Court to secure approvals.

Key Outcomes

Effective access solutions integrated with local road networks
Streamlined consenting process through robust ITA reporting
Improved on-site traffic efficiency and safety
Successful development of multiple high-profile retail sites
