For the third consecutive year, we have enjoyed a "bake-off" competition run over the winter months. The competition had its origins in demand outstripping supply at the biscuit tin, but it's grown into something fantastic. Since the earthquake rearranged half of Christchurch, we've been sharing premises with our colleagues at QTP and our IT service provider Egressive, and of course they had to join this season.

Christchurch was snowed in, and our office was closed on Monday and Tuesday (15 & 16 Aug 2011). The weather has improved, though, and we are all back at work.

The Christchurch City Council recently provided for resource consent applications to be lodged electronically. 

ViaStrada has been utilising this new initiative and is already seeing benefits in terms of prompt consent lodgement and simplified payment of Council fee deposits, plus a reduction of costs associated with the printing and physical lodgement of hard copy consent applications. 

ViaStrada has recently been commissioned to undertake the following projects:

Nelson City Council - Road Safety Audit Professional Services 2011/12

Auckland Transport - Safe Routes Evaluation

Upper Hutt City Council - Upper Hutt Walking & Cycling Strategy

Grey District Council - Grey District Plan Review

Selwyn District Council - Christchurch to Little River Rail Trail - Tullet Block to Macartneys Road Concept development
