C-22-013 Wanaka Network Optimization SSBC

In 2019, QLDC developed the Wānaka Town Centre Masterplan and Integrated Transport Programme Business Case to guide future planning and investment for Wānaka. The Masterplan focuses on transport and public realm improvements within Wānaka town centre, while the Programme Business Case focuses on transport needs within the wider Wānaka area, as well as changes to the transport network to support the desired outcomes of the Masterplan.
Based on strong and divided community feedback on the Masterplan, in November 2019 the Wānaka Community Board agreed to progress the Wanaka Network Optimisation Single Stage Business Case to implement the needs identified from the 2019 Wanaka Master plan which included the transport programme business case. Outcomes QLDC are looking for is improved access, particularly in response to ongoing developments, mode shift away from private vehicles, improved safety for all modes, improved level of service, improved visitor experience and a transport network that is future proofed for growth and sustainability.

We are buying an expert-led, high-quality investment planning exercise for the Wānaka Transport Network Optimisation SSBC. This will be recorded in a clear, concise and robust business case.
