1 DRAFT Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough (Top of the South) regional summary STATE HIGHWAY INVESTMENT PROPOSAL SEPTEMBER 217 REGIONAL TRANSPORT SYSTEM PROBLEMS AND OPPORTUNITIES Customer safety is compromised by transport infrastructure deficiencies and poor user behaviours High level of motorcyclists and cyclists involved in fatal and serious injury crashes. Lack of attention/observation is a contributing factor to fatal and serious crashes. Appropriate speed and targeting low KiwiRAP rated roads would reduce DSI s. Customers are experiencing increasing congestion in the Nelson and Richmond Pinch points on the urban roading network in Nelson and Richmond are operating at or near capacity. Topography constrains local transport networks. Peak delays are likely to increase as travel demand increases (with population and freight forecasts) and demand for private vehicle use continues To date, there has been limited coordination between growth and infrastructure planning. Network resilience is poor - the region s economic prosperity depends on a wellfunctioning roading and rail network Narrow hillside alignments leave routes prone to slips in case of severe weather events or earthquakes. Climate change impacts, including sea level rising, are expected to impact on future usability of part of the SH network. Key journeys: SH1 Picton to Christchurch National route providing critical connections to port for both freight and tourists. The route is currently closed in some southern sections due to extensive damage from 216 Kaikoura seismic events. The route is winding with gradients, vulnerable to natural events and has sections of high crash risk KiwiRAP 2-Star sections, below the KiwiRAP 4-star target for a National highway. SH6/62/1 Nelson to Picton Regional route is winding with gradients, vulnerable to natural events with sections of high crash risk KiwiRAP 2-Star sections, below the KiwiRAP 3-Star target for a Regional highway. SH6 Nelson to Richmond Regional urban route providing access between the growth centres of Nelson, Richmond and Port Nelson. The key issues along the route include peak period congestion and poor multi-modal accessibility. SH6 Richmond to Canterbury/West Cost Arterial route winding with gradients, vulnerable to natural events with multiple sections of high crash risk KiwiRAP 2-Star sections. Only route connecting Nelson/Tasman to the West Coast, subject to resilience issues due to lack of alternate routes. SH6, until its intersection with SH65, is currently acting as the primary corridor south due to extensive damage on SH1 from recent seismic events. SH6 Richmond to Golden Bay Classified as a Regional route to Motueka and a primary collector to Golden Bay. SH6 provides the only route to and from Golden Bay, the route is winding with gradients, vulnerable to natural events and predominately rated as a high crash risk KiwiRAP 2-star highway. SH63 Blenheim to West Coast Secondary collector route, winding and follows the river valley. The route is catering for significant additional traffic following the 216 Kaikoura event. Tourist connection to the West Coast, high number of unfamiliar drivers. TOP OF THE SOUTH TRENDS Economic trends The Top of the South (TOTS) encompasses the Tasman, Nelson and Marlborough regions. The economies and communities of these three regions are highly dependent on each other for their economic and social wellbeing. The TOTS contributes just under 3% of New Zealand s gross domestic product (GDP) and accounts for approximately 3.2 % of NZ s total population Regional GDP growth for Nelson/Tasman between 211 and 216 was 19% with Marlborough growing by over 32% in the same period, the highest 5 year change in GDP nationally. It is expected that these growth trends will continue. All three economies are highly export focussed - underpinned by primary industries (namely horticulture, viticulture, forestry, seafood, pastoral farming) and associated manufacturing sectors (seafood processing facilities at Motueka and Port Nelson, Log processing facilities in Richmond) - with concentrated exposures to natural commodities and international commodity prices. Population trends The total population of the TOTS is 142,2 (213) with Nelson/Richmond being the largest urban and commercial centre (43%, 63,3 residents) followed by Blenheim Central (3,), Motueka (7,8) and Picton (4,2). Regional population growth has been moderate over the last decade (27 to 216), increasing by approximately 1% per annum. In the longer term, the region s population is expected to slow to.4% growth per annum to 243, the exception is Nelson/Richmond, which is currently forecast to increase by 15% by 243 (an additional 9,5 people). Overall the TOTS population is aging with 35% of the population estimated to be over 65 by 243 (compared to 18% in 213). These rates are significantly above the national average 14% in 213 and 18% in 243. Employment trends The ToTS s key industries are significantly seasonal which has a major impact on the nature of employment needs and opportunities, despite this ToTS unemployment rates have historically been below the national average, ranging between % in 216. The TOTS has the greatest reliance on primary industries of any region in the country. However, Stats NZ regional GDP data indicates that the relative importance of these primary sectors for Nelson and Tasman has decreased over the last decade. Several major healthcare, educational and recreational facilities and services are based in Nelson/Richmond centre - serving local communities as well as those across the TOTS and driving associated intra-regional travel demand. Over the last decade the Marlbourgh region has successfully converted most of the land formerly dedicated to cropping and stone fruit orchards to viticulture so that Marlborough is now New Zealand s largest wine-growing region, with a planned vineyard area increase of 3% to 22. Transport trends Primary industries are driving freight task with a 47% increase in freight volumes forecast to 242. The bulk of the increased freight movement is expected to be driven by the following commodities; aggregate, general freight, logs to sawmills and port for export, concrete and increased volumes of general freight. The ports and airports of Nelson and Marlborough play an important role in getting TOTS goods to market, with freight also moving south to Lyttleton port, reflecting the impact of bigger ships and port consolidation on intra-regional freight movements. The majority of freight that travels within and through the TOTS is via road, as rail network is limited to the SIMT line running from Picton down the coast towards Christchurch (currently affected by the 216 Kaikoura Earthquake). Whilst private vehicles remains the most popular choice for journeys to work across the main urban centres, in the 213 census Nelson/Richmond urban centre recorded the highest number of commuter cyclists (journeys to work) of any centre in NZ (18%). An increasingly aging population and flat growth (in Tasman and Marlborough) is shaping transport demand, mode choice and the affordability of infrastructure 2.7% ($7. billion) Percentage of NZ GDP ALL REGIONS MAX $48,43 MIN GDP per capita 17, 7, 2,, 15, 13, Population growth 24.% Changes in GDP % of New Zealand population 65, 6, 1,7, Employment Local NZ Employees by industry Agriculture, forestry and fishing Manufacturing Retail trade Health care and social assistance Construction 17-22

2 REGIONAL TRANSPORT SYSTEM INVESTMENT OUTCOMES Transport priorities for the Top of the South region which were adopted in the Regional Land Transport Plan include: 1. A sustainable transport system that is integrated with well planned development, enabling the efficient and reliable movement of people and goods to, from and throughout the region 2.
