Transport Planning for Orakei Point: Mixed-Use Development Case Study

Traffic Planning Consultants (TPC) developed a comprehensive transport planning strategy for the redevelopment of Orakei Point, ensuring seamless integration between residential, retail, and public transport facilities. The project aimed to integrate residential, retail, and office spaces while enhancing transport accessibility and connectivity through a Plan Change process.

Summary

Project Overview

Client: Large-scale property developer
Location: Orakei, Auckland
Scope: Transport planning and road network integration for a mixed-use development Challenges: Managing increased traffic volumes, multi-modal transport integration, intersection capacity, and streetscape design

Our Approach

Comprehensive Transport Planning TPC's transport engineers conducted detailed assessments of streetscape and intersection design to accommodate new traffic flow. We evaluated vehicle and pedestrian access improvements to ensure safe movement throughout the development. Our team focused on public transport integration between the train station and upgraded bus facilities, while conducting intersection capacity analysis to determine necessary road improvements based on future traffic demands.

Road Network Planning and Capacity Assessment To support the Plan Change application, TPC assessed the intersection capacity and identified road improvements required to accommodate anticipated traffic volumes. This included evaluating the performance of key intersections and recommending layout changes to support safer and more efficient movement throughout the precinct. Our planning focused on ensuring the transport network could effectively support the mix of residential, retail, and office activity proposed as part of the redevelopment.
