Waiata Shores Development Transport Design and Consenting
Getting new neighbours is a common experience, but what if you find out you¡¯re getting 3,500 new neighbours? This is where thoughtful solutions, traffic modelling, and consultation come in to move a major residential development forward. Waiata Shores is an innovative residential development within the Takanini/Manurewa suburb of Auckland. It provides a range of living options, helping to address Auckland¡¯s residential affordability and supply issues.
While the need for housing was plainly apparent, so too were constraints on transport in the area due to a lack of connectivity. An additional challenge was the Great South Road¡¯s close proximity to the Auckland Southern Motorway interchange, posing safety considerations for the design of this key intersection. In response, our multidisciplinary technical team considered the transport effects of providing a range of living opportunities, some with reduced parking supply.
Working with the developer, Fletcher Living, we considered the transport implications associated with a range of housing typologies appealing to low or no-car households such as young people or retirees. And what if there was less need to leave the development for food, entertainment, and services? Zoning for a supermarket, caf¨¦, and a childcare centre was included. These are now operational and contributing to the ¡°whole-of-life¡± community approach at Waiata Shores, reflecting trends in lifestyles that are less car-dependent as primary transport options.
