Consultation - Relevant information

Specific information relevant to consultation on land transport includes:
copies of the existing district plan, the RPS, the RLTS and other strategic documents.
guidelines such as Transit NZ 's Planning Policy Manual and Environmental Plan; there is no equivalent guidance for rail, but overseas rail and land use planning standards may be useful (refer to UK Department for Transport - Rail Group and Australian Transport Council).
national and international transport, and urban form policy documents can help inform appropriate local policies: the New Zealand Transport Strategy, Land Transport NZ 's guidance notes and overseas good practice examples such as UK Planning Policy Guidance 13: Transportation
new data and existing research regarding transportation issues in the district and/or region; these may include any corridor studies, plans or strategies
any walking and cycling strategy developed by a region or city/district (eg, Draft Marlborough Region Walking and Cycling Strategy)
where information gaps are identified, it may be appropriate to consider commissioning studies and reports on 'hot spots ' in the district/region to fill any gaps in current knowledge.
