New Zealand Unveils 30-Year Strategic Plan for Queenstown Transport
WHY IT MATTERS
The plan aims to support economic growth and productivity in Queenstown, a world-class destination with growing demand for transportation, by making better use of existing infrastructure and prioritizing projects that deliver value for money.
What happened
The New Zealand Transport Agency has released a 30-year strategic plan to improve Queenstown's transport infrastructure, focusing on three core outcomes: making best use of existing infrastructure, moving more people around in less space, and actively managing demand.
The plan prioritizes projects such as improving the Frankton Flats intersection, capacity and bus priority improvements, and replacing Edith Cavell Bridge at Arthurs Point.
It also considers innovative options like gondolas or cable cars and an additional crossing over the Kawarau River.
