Our transport strategy sets out how we’ll create safer, greener and better-connected communities. We’re improving the way people move around our region, while protecting the environment and making our streets and public spaces better places to be.
The strategy supports:
- safer streets and roads for everyone
- better walking and cycling connections
- reliable and accessible public transport
- cleaner air and lower transport emissions
- greener, more welcoming streets and public spaces
- better connections between our neighbourhoods, town centres and local destinations
- a region that’s easier to get around, whether you live here, work here or are visiting

Cycle lane proposal
We have been working hard to tranform our transport system into a more efficient and safer network for citizens, while also contributing to a reduction in pollution levels. Previous research has indicated that citizens often don't feel safe cycling around Arlen Hill due to high levels of congestion and very few designated cycle routes, we aim to create a more accessible way to get everyone moving. What is being proposed? We are proposing to introduce a 1.7km cycle path that...
Rebuilding a greener Arlen Hill: Low traffic neighbourhoods
This is an example activity for demonstration purposes only. This site is operated by Delib Ltd and submitted responses will be discarded. Neighbourhood traffic is one of the largest contributors to air pollution; it is estimated that approximately 45% of traffic within neighbourhood areas passes without stopping. We want to transform Arlen Hill into a healthier and safer place to live by reducing the amount of through traffic passing through our neighbourhoods. Not only will this help...
Your impact
Safer crossings around schools
You told us that busy roads and limited crossing points were making it difficult for tamariki and whānau to walk safely to school.
What we did: We introduced new raised crossings near three local schools, improved footpaths and changed parking restrictions to make people more visible at busy crossing points.
The impact: More families now have a safer option for walking to school, while lower vehicle speeds have made these streets more comfortable for everyone.
A bus service that works better for you
You told us that early morning and evening services weren’t frequent enough, particularly for people travelling to work or connecting with other services.
What we did: We worked with our transport partners to introduce additional peak-time services and adjusted the timetable to improve key connections.
The impact: More people can now use public transport for everyday journeys, with shorter waits and easier connections across Arlen Hill.
Making the town centre easier to walk around
You told us that narrow footpaths, difficult crossings and a lack of places to stop and rest made some parts of Arlenbury town centre difficult to get around.
What we did: Your feedback helped shape plans for wider footpaths, additional seating, new street trees and safer pedestrian crossings.
The impact: The town centre is becoming a more welcoming and accessible place to walk, shop, meet and spend time.
