Land Use and Transport Planning

Avondale town centre is being revitalised by Auckland Council, with and construction currently underway for a new library, community hub and town plaza.

Flow was part of the project team for the first ever surf park in New Zealand. The large-scale development will have a wave pool, accommodation, visitor amenities, solar farm and a data centre.

Flow has been responsible for carrying out peer reviews of all of the Government Roads of National Significance (RONS), with all covering transport modelling and toll modelling, and some extending to economic analysis. This work demonstrates our high standing within the NZ Transport Agency, as we were trusted to review all of the RONS, to advise on emerging good practice, and in some cases to “call out” a need for improvements in the evaluations.

Flow led the transport inputs in this United Nations sponsored project to develop a comprehensive strategy to reduce the carbon emissions of the transport sector in Samoa by 20% over the next 5 years. The project included reviewing and updating Samoa’s legislative and policy framework in support of a national transition to low-carbon land and […]

Wynyard Quarter Development: Planning Phase

This Wynyard Quarter site and planned development is unique in Auckland, in terms of its size, its proximity to the city centre and its prime waterfront location. It is surrounded by water on three sides, with a major arterial route and the final leg of the Northern Busway on the fourth side. These situational advantages make the area very attractive for intensive use but also present very significant challenges in terms of accessibility.

Auckland Light Rail (ALR) was to provide a modern rapid transit system for Auckland, between Auckland city centre and the Airport. Additional routes were planned to the Auckland’s Northwest and to the North Shore to create an integrated, high speed, high capacity reliable network, serving a large proportion of Auckland’s existing and future population.

Let’s Get Wellington Moving

Flow is proud of its involvement in the consultant team between early 2020 and late 2023, with involvement specifically in terms of the strategic and detailed transport modelling and the assessment of a range of options against the project’s transport objectives, focussing in particular on the contribution of the options to transport mode change.

The Foundation Parnell Retirement Village, Parnell

Generus Living Group engaged Flow as their traffic engineer in their development of a retirement building in Parnell. The redevelopment includes new multi-storey luxury retirement homes and office spaces within the block of land bounded by Parnell Road, George Street, Titoki Street and Maunsell Road.

Flow was involved in the Resource Consent stage for the development by Housing Foundation within the block bounded by Tripoli Road, Hīnaki Street and Parata Street, known as Hīnaki 2A. We prepared Transportation Assessment reports for the subdivision and land use consents for 56 homes in a two-staged approach. Our involvement included inputs into the design of the right-of way, vehicle crossings, traffic and street signs and road markings.

Flow has worked with the University of Auckland on a range of projects and we continue to provide ongoing traffic and transportation advice to the largest university in New Zealand. The large size of the University and the location in the heart of Auckland City means it is important to promote a wide range of travel options for students, to promote accessibility.

Developments generally require transport assessments to support resource consent applications. Flow has undertaken multiple transport assessment for heath related developments on the North Shore Hospital site. These projects have included a Renal Unit, the Assessment and Diagnostic Unit, an extension to the existing hospital podium and a parking building.
