Project 373 Colyton Road
Location Colyton, Manawatu
Client Geoworks Ltd

I was engaged by Geoworks (on behalf of their client) in early 2024 to carry out a traffic impact assessment on a large 70 lot lifestyle subdivision. Earlier a resource consent application had been lodged with council in which several matters concerning transport were raised in a request for further information.

The resource consent for the development was granted in late 2024.

Project Ōtaki Pool Redevelopment
Location Ōtaki
Client Kāpiti Coast District Council

I was engaged by the Kāpiti Coast District Council in May 2024 to carry out a review of the existing parking areas surrounding the Ōtaki Pool complex. At this time council were planning significant upgrade works to the pool complex and wanted to understand how the carpark was functioning including the levels of occupancy throughout different times of the day. Several days of parking surveys were carried out across different time periods with this designed to understand how different activities effected parking supply throughout the day.

The findings of the survey were presented in a report to councils project team, with the client deciding to look at options to increase parking supply in the future.
