This consultation ran from 15 March 2023 to 30 April 2023.

The purpose of this community engagement was to gather information to inform policy development of a Better Transport Choices for Taranaki strategy by Taranaki Regional Council, to inform the development of Speed Management Plans by New Plymouth District Council, Stratford District Council and South Taranaki District Council and seek feedback about bus routes across the region.

We sought feedback in four key focus areas. In addition to these focus areas participants were given the opportunity to provide feedback on any other issues of importance to them.

  • Road safety and speed management.
  • Long-term vision for transport in Taranaki.
  • Public transport (including buses and rail).
  • Cycling, walking and active travel.

We had 1805 responses which included comments, submissions and completed surveys across all channels with over 15,000 individual pieces of feedback on our online survey alone.
