Consultation has now closed. Thank you to everyone who participated! The results of this survey have informed the development of the final Transport Strategy.
Improvements to road infrastructure have been identified as a high priority by the community, including in the Community Satisfaction Survey 2019.
The Transport Strategy will provide a strategic approach to improving the road network, using a star-rating system to support better planning and prioritising of new roads, upgrades, renewals and maintenance. By doing so, the community can have greater confidence that TRC is delivering road improvements efficiently and equitably across the region.
The Transport Strategy is available to view in the document library on this page or on the TRC website (click here).
How does this guide road improvements?
The Strategy outlines this in Parts 12 to 15, if you'd like to see the details.
TRC staff will use the criteria in the Strategy to identify a score for therelative importance of all roads in the region.
TRC staff also regularly inspect roads to assess the condition of the infrastructure.
A weighted scoring system considers both these factors and identifies the most critical roads for improvement.
Based on thefunds available, TRC prepares an annual program of road improvements for adoption by the Council. Additional maintenance work is also undertaken on an as-needs basis.
