prepared a Traffic Impact
Report for both Junction and Oropuriri Structure Plan Development Areas.
Appendix 15: Junction Traffic Report and Appendix 16: Area N
Traffic Report were both prepared in 2018 in relation to concerns

roading layout shown on the Structure Plan maps.
In preparing this report we rely on the expert advice of Ms Alice West of
any additional investigation or
intervention as found necessary.
