  1. Freight ForwardTHE RETURN OF REGIONAL PLANNING? Ernst Zöllner, NZTA GM Strategy & Performance NZ Institute of Highway Technology Improve Transport – Improve the Economy, 1 November 2010

  2. IN A LAND FAR, FAR AWAY…

  3. OUR CHALLENGE… In order to maintain our standard of living, NZ will need to ‘earn’ more (through exports) However, of all OECD nations, NZ: has the smallest ‘domestic’ market is furthest away from its export markets This ‘distance from market’ is a penalty on NZ equal to about 10% of GDP (OECD, 2008) As a nation, we therefore cannot afford to be less than super efficient in our transport logistics Network providers and operators must excel in our efforts to improve the efficiency of freight (and in particular, product to market) Can some form of regional planning be the answer?

  4. … DID YOU SAY PLANNING?!

  5. The regional spatial development plan Example of a map

  6. Freight as one of five NZTA priorities

  7. Four-pronged freight action plan Investment in networks and systems to support freight Managing the national networks (road and rail) to support freight Improved planning networks to facilitate the efficiency of freight Facilitating the most efficient access to (and use of) the transport networks by freight operators

  8. Starting at the demand side • No national NZ transport strategy or national transport plan or comprehensive inter-regional corridor plans • Some regional strategies and plans e.g. Auckland • Instruction in GPS to undertake ‘integrated planning’

  9. Key routes for freight and tourism Freight Tourism Freight and Tourism

  10. RELEVANT STATE HIGHWAY KPI’S

  11. RAIL TRANSPORT NETWORK • 4,000 km national rail network, with inter-island ferry connection

  12. 3.8 million tonnes + 2.2 to 3.8 million tonnes 0.9 to 2.2 million tonnes Less than 0.9 million tonnes KEY RAIL FREIGHT ROUTES

  13. ROADS OF NATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE Puhoi to Wellsford Tauranga Eastern Corridor Auckland Victoria Park Bottleneck Auckland Western Ring Route Waikato Expressway Wellington Northern Corridor Christchurch Motorway Projects

  14. EMERGING RAIL NETWORK AND SERVICE STRATEGIES For the 900 freight services per week…

  15. Hon Steven Joyce, Minister of Transport, NZ Rail Conference, 21 April 2010 “Frankly everyone is going to have to hold hands and jump together if this is to work”
