The Regional Land Transport Plan (RLTP) underpins Marlborough’s road network and transportation planning, as well as the investment priorities over the next ten years on both the state highway and local road networks. From a statutory perspective, the RLTP meets the requirements of the Land Transport Management Act 2003 and contributes to the overall aim of the Act.
The long term strategic objectives of this Plan are:
• Supporting economic growth through providing efficient intra-regional and inter-regional routes while minimising environmental impacts
• A well-planned network that supports urban growth for all travel modes
• A network that continues to function through unplanned events and can recover quickly
• A safe transport system for all users
The short term priority (2024-27) is to recover from the storm events, provide greater resilience of the local road network and continue to maintain the network to the current levels of service.
The medium term priority (2027-30) will be to implement best practice asset management principles with expenditure being across the transport assets from a wellbeing perspective. In the medium term there will be a focus on improving the resilience on the local road network. This will align to the long term strategic objectives.
