Executive summary
The NZ Transport Agency has been exploring ways to improve road safety and travel time reliability along the increasingly busy State
Highway 2 (SH2) corridor, between Waihi and Tauranga. This business case identifies the preferred programme to make SH2 a more
reliable and safer road that supports economic growth.
In April 2016, the Transport Minister, Hon Simon Bridges, announced a $520 million transport investment programme, which looks
to transform the Waihi to Tauranga corridor, over the next 10+ years. The programme includes five packages of work that will focus
on improving road safety and the reliability of journey times, and support growth along one of New Zealand’s highest risk and fastest
growing corridors.
The business case started with understanding and prioritising the key transport problems along the SH2 Waihi to Tauranga corridor.
A range of options to address the problems were developed and tested against the investment objectives, which were also agreed by
the regional stakeholders (Tauranga City Council and Western Bay of Plenty District Council).
The selected programme best met the investment objectives to improve road safety, support economic development and regional
growth, with the lowest level of risk.
Strategic context
Four regions make up the Upper North Island: Northland, Auckland, Waikato and Bay of Plenty.
This area is vital to New Zealand’s social and economic success. It is home to more than half of New Zealand’s population and
generates more than 50% of the national GDP.
The Transport Agency recognises SH2 Pokeno to Tauranga as a key journey in the Upper North Island, and the Waihi to Tauranga
corridor forms the southern part of this journey. The strategic direction of this corridor will focus primarily on investing in road safety
and travel time reliability, while also allowing the transport system to support and accommodate sub-regional growth.
This section of highway is also defined in the SmartGrowth Strategy as a preferred corridor for sub-regional population and economic
development.

SH2 corridor characteristics
Transport functions in this corridor rely on access to a single state highway that has developed from a rural road passing through a
few small settlements to one serving an increasing volume and mix of often competing demands. Local communities and businesses
(particularly horticulture) have continued to grow along the coastal peninsula’s of Katikati, Omokoroa and Te Puna. This is leading to
competing traffic demands (e.g. car commuters and farm vehicles) along a “fishbone” corridor that wasn’t designed for it. There are
now over 18,000 vehicles per day on SH2 at Te Puna and the existing road is expected to exceed capacity (around 19,000vpd) by
2016/17. It is also now one of New Zealand’s rural roads with the highest safety risk.
Corridor problems
To identify the key problems with the SH2 corridor, workshops were held with regional partners
such as the Western Bay of Plenty District Council and the NZ Police. Feedback was also
sought from the community and road users.
Using our knowledge of the corridor issues, and the information gained from the workshops and feedback, the corridor problems
were prioritised.
Subsequently the corridor investment objectives and the proposed programme of work were developed (see page 14).

Road safety
The number of deaths and serious injury crashes that occur along this corridor is too high.
The major safety problems with SH2 between Waihi and Tauranga are the condition and use. Currently it is rated a 2-star road under
the KiwiRAP national road safety risk rating system, with 1-star being the lowest and 5-star being the highest. To serve its current
function SH2 should be a 3-star rating or above. Over the last five years there have been 64 deaths and serious injuries along this
stretch of state highway, it is also rated the 14th worst corridor in New Zealand in terms of the frequency of fatal and serious crashes.
6 Waihi to Tauranga Corridor
Traffic growth
The existing two-lane state highway between Te Puna and Tauranga flows smoothly most
of the day, but demand peaks during the morning. This results in traffic slowing between
Omokoroa and Bethlehem.
This is expected to worsen with peak queues extending to Omokoroa more regularly, and unreliable journey times. Queues will also
form at key side roads, adding to driving frustration.
Alternative routes
Nearly half of the corridor does not have an alternative route available for traffic in the event of
a state highway closure.
Where an alternative route does exist, some are not suitable for all road users (eg heavy vehicles) and the detour can add time and
be inconvenient.
However, disruptions to state highway traffic, as a result of a natural event (eg slip or flood), have not been frequent in recent history
and access via local detours have generally been available when an event has occurred.
Community severance
Katikati, Te Puna and Bethlehem townships have facilities, services and population on both
sides of the state highway.
A 50 km/h speed limit and lower volumes of traffic (around 11,000 vehicles per day) through Katikati helps support local access
compared to the communities of Te Puna and Bethlehem where walking access and crossing facilities are not numerous.
In Te Puna, this problem combined with traffic growth, presents problems for the local community accessing facilities and services.
The upgrade of the Te Puna Road/Minden Road intersection is expected to improve local access. There are numerous crossing points
on the state highway through Bethlehem, providing local access needs of the community.
On that basis, solutions to this problem have not been singled out for development at this point. However, the business case does
acknowledge community severance is a problem.

14 Waihi to Tauranga CorridorCorridor programme options
How the options were developed
Six programme options were developed as ways of addressing the key corridor problems. The
performance of each of the programme options was then assessed against the programme
investment objectives, their relative risks, secondary benefits and economic efficiency.
All six programme options included safety improvements to the state highway, as improving road safety along the corridor was
considered non-negotiable. Knowing that the relative safety risks along the corridor vary considerably (pages 6-7), two different ‘Safe
System’ treatment philosophies were defined for State Highway 2 according to the ‘High Risk Rural Roads Guide’:
• transformational treatments - larger scale infrastructure works (eg bypasses, intersection upgrades, roadside and median
barriers) aimed at achieving a major improvement in safety performance, particularly at highest risk locations; and
• safer corridor treatments – moderate scale treatments aimed at achieving noticeable improvements in safety performance,
particularly applicable to lower risk locations.
These treatments were packaged into a single ‘Safety Only’ programme (1) with a (1a) or (1b) variation to test whether a
transformation of the whole corridor (1a) or transformations targeted at highest risk locations with safer corridor treatments
elsewhere (1b) would be best.
Further responses to address the traffic growth problem were then laid over the top of programme 1a/b to see which was the best
way of addressing traffic growth as well as (but not instead of) the safety problem. These were split between:
• programmes focused on managing travel demands within and between major growth centres and making better use of
existing network infrastructure (programmes 2 and 3); and
• programmes focused on expanding transport network capacity through major additional infrastructure along the part of
the corridor where this growth would continue to generate significant queues and delays (programmes 4 to 6).
Refer to the appendix to view the programme option maps and indicative treatments.
15Picking a winner: How the preferred
programme was chosen
To determine a recommended programme a multi criteria analysis (MCA) was undertaken that
considered the relative merits of programmes 1 to 6, in terms of:
• performance against the investment objectives
• value for money and affordability
• the risks associated with each programme including:
−− constructability
−− environmental
−− property and land requirements
−− reputation and community impacts
−− cultural and heritage issues
• any secondary benefits e.g. improvements in alternative routes and local community access.
Programmes 4 and 5 perform best across the analysis and, of these, the “b” (highest risk safety transformation) variations are the
most economically efficient. The MCA indicated programme 5b performed best overall with 5a and 4b coming close. Programmes 1,
2, 3 and 6 are predicted to provide moderate safety benefits but perform relatively poorly on supporting economic growth.
4b (highest risk safety transformation plus widening the existing state highway) will achieve similar benefits to 5b. However, the
constructability risks of widening the existing state highway are higher. 5a (safety transformation along the whole corridor plus a
new state highway between Omokoroa and Tauranga) provides more safety benefits but is less economically efficient in doing so
for significant additional cost. On that basis Programme 5b is the recommended option. Its overall assessment compared to the next
best alternatives (4b & 5a) is also summarised below.

16 Waihi to Tauranga CorridorDelivering the programme: What
happens next?
Having settled on 5b as the recommended programme, further work was done to define how
and when to implement it. It includes:
Tauranga Northern Link (TNL)
This will deliver part of the new regional highway component of the programme. It was clear from previous work that the best way to
provide a new regional state highway would be an inland option because coastal options wouldn’t be able to bypass Bethlehem cost-
effectively. The TNL also remains designated in local District Plans, much of the property needed for its implementation had been
acquired and its indicative design remained appropriate for the wider network, particularly its connections to Te Puna and Tauranga
CBD. The option of tolling the TNL has to be tested as well as agreeing a revised form and function of the existing SH2 corridor. This
is a requirement of Transport Agency policy. An initial analysis of tolling indicates that it would reduce safety and travel time benefits
along the corridor. However, the revenue raised may be useful to derive greater benefits elsewhere on the transport network. The
programme therefore includes completing these activities and acquire any remaining property and Resource Management Act
consents before starting construction in 2018.
Develop and construct safety improvements
• Omokoroa Te Puna - transformation
• Athenree to Katikati - transformation
• Waihi to Omokoroa- safer corridor
Develop and construct an extension to the TNL
This will complete the new regional highway component of the programme out to Omokoroa. Traffic growth projections in this
business case indicate that this would be needed from around 2025.
