Traffic Planning for Childcare Centre: Educational Facility Expansion Case Study

Traffic Planning Consultants (TPC) supported the expansion of a childcare centre to accommodate increased enrolment in a fast-growing area. The proposal required careful consideration of vehicle access and car parking to ensure safe and efficient movement during peak drop-off and pick-up periods.

Summary

Project Overview

Client: Private childcare centre operator
Location: Undisclosed
Scope: Traffic and parking strategy for childcare centre expansion
Challenges: Managing access and circulation around high-turnover vehicle activity, supporting a non-notified consent process

Our Approach

Access and Parking Design
TPC developed a tailored vehicle access and car parking strategy to support the increased number of children attending the centre. The design ensured safe entry and exit movements, efficient on-site circulation, and appropriate capacity for short-stay parking.

Traffic Impact Assessment and Consent Support
We prepared a comprehensive Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) as part of the resource consent application. Our work supported a non-notified consent decision by demonstrating that the expanded operation could be accommodated without adverse transport effects.

Key Outcomes

Designed a practical and safe vehicle access and parking layout for childcare use
Delivered a Traffic Impact Assessment to support the consent process
Enabled the client to expand operations while maintaining traffic safety and efficiency
Achieved non-notified approval from the Local Authority
