The District Plan is the primary tool for controlling where different land-use activities occur and ensuring integration between land-use and the transport system. The existing Dunedin City District Plan contains a road hierarchy with rules to manage the effects of land-use activities along each road. The Road Hierarchy is also used by other DCC departments to manage different aspects of the network. At the time of writing, the existing road hierarchy is under review as part of the development of the Second Generation District Plan, which is likely to become operative within two to three years of the adoption of the Integrated Transport Strategy. To give effect to the Spatial Plan and Integrated Transport Strategy it is intended to replace the existing Road Hierarchy with a more comprehensive ‘Transport Hierarchy’ that will encompass the full range of transport modes and be used to better integrate land-use and transport. Examples of this integration include managing where high traffic generating activities might occur or where they will have effects upon the efficiency of the network. Freight corridors are likely to either be included in the Transport Hierarchy or identified separately. The development of the Network Operating Plan, and the freight and HPMV routes identified in the Integrated Transport Strategy, will feed into the development of the new Transport Hierarchy. It is also envisaged the new hierarchy will inform DCC’s design and operation of the transport network.
