Traffic Planning for Norman Kirk Pool: Recreation Facility Upgrade Case Study

Traffic Planning Consultants (TPC) provided traffic engineering services for the redevelopment of the Norman Kirk Pool, a project aimed at modernising the facility to accommodate increased occupancy and create an improved internal environment. Our work supported the planning and consenting process by evaluating transport and parking impacts resulting from the upgraded use.

Summary

Project Overview

Client: Local government / community facility operator
Location: Christchurch
Scope: Traffic and parking assessment for public pool redevelopment
Challenges: Managing increased occupancy impacts, evaluating parking demand, and supporting resource consent

Our Approach

Parking Demand Analysis and Surveys
TPC conducted detailed parking and traffic surveys to establish a baseline understanding of existing demand and identify future parking requirements. We assessed the effect of increased use on both the site and the adjacent road network and recommended changes to parking controls where necessary.

Traffic Impact Assessment and Authority Liaison
Our team prepared a comprehensive Traffic Impact Assessment to support the resource consent application. We worked closely with the Local Authority to address traffic concerns and facilitate a non-notified consent outcome for the redevelopment.

Key Outcomes

Analysed current and future parking demand using survey and forecasting methods
Recommended practical parking control changes to accommodate increased usage
