Business cases, strategies, plans

ViaStrada wrote the book on walking and cycling strategies and produced many of the first iterations for councils across New Zealand. Today’s strategies are anchored by buildable concept designs and informed by robust public, iwi and stakeholder engagement. We are specialists in multi-criteria analysis and the only provider of the ActiveTrans Priority Tool (APT). Our prioritisation frameworks are presented in web map form for easy interpretation by clients during development and the public as end readers. Our in-house information designer produces concise and interesting to read documents, and we have experience working with council communications and graphic design staff.

From the Point of Entry (PoE) to a Single Stage Business Case (SSBC), ViaStrada are also experts in helping clients navigate the acronym soup of the Business Case approach. We have supported larger consultancies with particular aspects, led teams to provide the entire scope of works, and can deliver peer reviews in accordance with NZTA requirements. Recent experience includes the delivery of network Programme Business Case (PBC) linked with a public-facing master plan for Dunedin City.
