Background

ViaStrada provided transportation planning and resource consent support for a proposed 27-unit townhouse development at 36–40 Main South Road, Christchurch. The project involved assessing compliance with the Christchurch District Plan transport rules, including vehicle access, parking provision, cycle parking, manoeuvring requirements, and integration with the surrounding transport network. 

Our team undertook site investigations, transport planning assessments, access design reviews, and safety evaluations for proposed vehicle crossings on Main South Road and Cephas Close. The assessment identified potential transport effects, informed resource consent requirements, and provided practical design recommendations to support a safe and efficient development outcome within a constrained urban environment.
