    Thanks for sharing your views.  Wanaka is unique and the things that make it special need to be protected.   But it is growing and changing and we do need to consider as a community how to manage that and ensure Wanaka remains vibrant and unique.  That's why we asked for feedback on the draft plan.

    Of course not.  The Masterplan aims to enable a range of transport choices, including taxis and public transport.

    The plans in the draft Masterplan engagement materials are indicative, and will be reviewed in the next stage of the programme which will be a lot more detailed.

    The pedestrian and cycle routes shown in the Masterplan engagement materials are indicative, and will be reviewed in the next stage of the programme. 

    Providing “Safe cycle access between local schools and Meadowstone” is one of the interventions that was identified during the stakeholder workshops in November 2018, and is captured within the draft Wanaka Transport Programme Business Case. The business case highlights that there are many unformed easements throughout Meadowstone that may provide opportunities to safely walk and cycle through the area. 

    Following approval from Council and funding partners, the Council will develop a specific walking and cycling business case. This business case will review the scope and location of the network and consider what types of facilities are required on each route (e.g. shared paths, separated facilities, cycle lanes etc). At this stage, opportunities through Meadowstone will be properly reviewed and considered.

    Is this master plan based on the airport being developed?

    Anti Airport asked over 5 years ago

    No.  There has been representation from the Airport Corporation at our stakeholder workshops but the Masterplan is not directly associated with any future plans they may have for the Airport (with the exception of the proposed cycle and bus route to the airport should development occur).

    AlMonro asked over 5 years ago

    If the concept of a town centre bypass is supported it will be further investigated.  This work would include extensive consultation with the golf course to work through potential impacts and how they can be mitigated.

    russandbev asked over 5 years ago

    An alternative option using MacPherson Street was considered, however through analysis done so far a new bypass road was preferred.  This is because it provides safety benefits, is more direct and will be more effective at removing cross-town journeys through the town centre

    Do you intend to put traffic lights on SH84 and Anderson Road

    Yes, there are two sets of traffic lights proposed at the intersection of SH84 and Anderson Road and the intersection between Brownston Street and Ardmore Street (Caltex Roundabout).

    roger asked over 5 years ago

    One of the earlier options was for full closure of Ardmore St (with no parking) but based on the feedback received during the trial the current plan provides for short-term parking, loading bays and mobility parks on all of the town centre streets.

    Parking will still be available on and off street in the town centre. The intention is to improve how the supply of parking is managed so it best meets the needs of the community and visitors.  This will be done through the development of a parking strategy.
