Optimisation of activities and combinations of activities
|
Optimisation involves:
- considering a hierarchy of interventions, starting with low-cost alternatives A strategic option that may encompass a mix of modes and/or high level routes and/or land use options. Alternatives would be considered during strategy development, with the preferred alternative being selected and taken through into package and project development. and options (e.g. integrated planning For the NZTA, integrated planning means leading and working with central, regional and local government, private developers and other partners such as Kiwi Rail and port companies, to bring land use planning, and transport planning and investment together, to deliver an affordable Demonstrates that adequate funding to deliver the activity, or combination of activities, is available from identified sources, e.g. a funding plan has been identified. transport system that supports a growing economy, safe and vibrant communities and a healthy environment, now and in the future. It is an approach we follow to deliver on the outcomes we seek. , demand management, making best use of existing services and infrastructure, small infrastructure improvements) through to high-cost alternatives A strategic option that may encompass a mix of modes and/or high level routes and/or land use options. Alternatives would be considered during strategy development, with the preferred alternative being selected and taken through into package and project development. and options (e.g. large infrastructure investments)
- appropriate analysis, including incremental assessment where appropriate, of viable alternatives A strategic option that may encompass a mix of modes and/or high level routes and/or land use options. Alternatives would be considered during strategy development, with the preferred alternative being selected and taken through into package and project development. and options to maximise the contribution, for the funds used, towards achieving the GPS A Government Policy Statement on Land Transport Funding issued under section 86 of the LTMA impacts and the purpose and objectives of the LTMA The Land Transport Management Act 2003, as amended from time to time.
- balancing the various (positive and adverse) impacts to get the highest net impact for the funds used.
The Transport Agency expects that the optimisation process will consider a range of alternatives A strategic option that may encompass a mix of modes and/or high level routes and/or land use options. Alternatives would be considered during strategy development, with the preferred alternative being selected and taken through into package and project development. and options for a stated objective, rather than a single predefined solution, and will provide evidence demonstrating how and why the optimised solution has been selected.
