City reveals upgrade plans for Herrwood Drive

THE eThekwini Municipality has confirmed plans are in place to widen Herrwood Drive in uMhlanga to four lanes. This comes after residents raised objections about the upgrade process and alleged lack of due procedure which they said were not followed. Two public meetings have been held in an effort to address residents' concerns and last week, the City's Town Planning Department earned the ire of residents after they were a no-show at a meeting in the area. Related story: Anger over municipal officials' no-show at public meeting on Herrwood Drive Spokesperson for the eThekwini Municipality Gugu Sisilana revealed that the upgrade was being privately funded. 'Herrwood Drive is earmarked for an upgrade to a four-lane road (two lanes in each direction) with a centre island and sidewalks. This project is privately funded and is being undertaken to support changes in land use in the area, as approved through the Spatial and Land Use Management Act process. 'The proposed upgrade falls within the existing road reserve, and existing driveways will be reconstructed to Council specifications as part of the works. While some property accesses will be restricted to left-in and left-out, all properties will retain vehicular access,' she said. Sisilana added that the Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) for the planned upgrade had already been completed. 'The TIA processes have been completed and approved, and an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) was not required as the road was included in the EIA undertaken for the broader area development. Other roads in the uMhlanga area, such as uMhlanga Rocks Drive and Ridgeside Drive, are also earmarked for future upgrades.' For more from Northglen News, follow us on Facebook , X or Instagram.

How Smart Traffic Planning Is Unlocking New Zealand's Urban Development Potential

As housing intensification accelerates across New Zealand's major cities, traffic planning has emerged as a critical factor determining which developments succeed in the consent process. The Hidden Gatekeeper of Urban Growth New Zealand's cities are experiencing unprecedented development pressure. Auckland continues to grapple with housing shortages while Wellington and other centres push forward with ambitious intensification plans. In this environment, developers are discovering that transport considerations can make or break their projects. The Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) has evolved from a simple compliance requirement into a strategic development tool that's reshaping how our cities grow. Forward-thinking developers are recognising that engaging with traffic planning early in the design process, rather than as an afterthought, can provide significant advantages. Beyond Compliance: Strategic Transport Planning Modern traffic planning goes far beyond meeting minimum regulatory requirements. The most successful developments integrate transport considerations throughout the design process, identifying opportunities to enhance both project viability and community outcomes. This strategic approach is becoming increasingly important as district councils raise their expectations for development proposals. Councils want to see how new developments will contribute to broader transport and urban planning objectives, not just manage their immediate impacts. The Policy Landscape Driving Change The National Policy Statement on Urban Development, implemented in 2020, is driving intensification around transport corridors and town centres. District councils across New Zealand are updating their plans to accommodate this growth mandate. However, intensification without integrated transport planning can create the kind of urban dysfunction that New Zealand is working to avoid. Traffic Impact Assessments are becoming the critical link between policy ambition and practical implementation. The Multi-Modal Reality Today's traffic planning extends well beyond vehicle movements. With growing focus on sustainability and liveability, modern TIAs consider walking and cycling infrastructure, public transport connections, and emerging transport modes. Contemporary assessments typically evaluate: Pedestrian and cyclist safety and connectivity Public transport accessibility and integration Parking management strategies Travel demand patterns and management Future transport technology considerations Transport planning specialists are at the forefront of this evolution, developing methodologies that account for the full spectrum of transport modes and their interactions in urban environments. Benefits Across the Development Ecosystem Developers benefit from streamlined consent processes, reduced project risks, and more attractive end products. Well-planned transport connections consistently enhance property values and marketability. Councils gain the robust analysis they need to make informed decisions and demonstrate to communities that growth is being managed responsibly. Communities experience safer streets, better connectivity, and neighbourhoods designed around accessibility and liveability rather than just vehicle accommodation. The broader economy benefits from reduced congestion, more efficient urban form, and transport networks that support productivity and economic growth. The Collaborative Approach The most successful projects involve integrated teams where transport engineers, urban designers, and planners collaborate from the earliest stages. This approach identifies solutions that single-discipline assessments might overlook. Strategic design decisions, such as building orientation that naturally encourages pedestrian movement or site layouts that optimise public transport access, can significantly improve transport outcomes while enhancing overall development quality. Technology and Future Trends Advanced modelling and analysis tools are making traffic planning more sophisticated and accurate. Real-time data integration, predictive modelling capabilities, and scenario planning tools help planners understand not just immediate impacts, but how developments will perform as urban environments evolve. Climate considerations are also becoming increasingly important, with assessments now factoring in transport network resilience and the role of developments in supporting emission reduction goals. Strategic Implications for Development Success As New Zealand's urban development landscape becomes more complex, Traffic Impact Assessments are proving to be much more than regulatory requirements. When approached strategically, they become tools for creating competitive advantage and ensuring project success. The integration of transport planning with broader development objectives is creating opportunities for innovative solutions that benefit all stakeholders. Developments that successfully integrate these considerations are setting new standards for urban growth in New Zealand. The Path Forward The projects that will define New Zealand's cities over the coming decade are being shaped by transport planning decisions made today. Success in this environment requires understanding that traffic planning isn't just about managing vehicle movements, it's about creating the sustainable, connected communities that New Zealand's growing urban population requires. As urban development continues to evolve, the most successful projects will be those that recognise transport planning as a fundamental component of good design, not an obstacle to overcome.

Stop building traffic roundabouts: Justin

Published on: Friday, July 18, 2025 Published on: Fri, Jul 18, 2025 By: Lagatah Toyos Text Size: According to Wong, the project received objections from more than 7,000 Tawau residents who signed a petition launched in March. TAWAU: Sri Tanjong Assemblyman Justin Wong again urged the Government to stop construction of traffic roundabouts along Jalan Sin Onn. He said the plan to build two roundabouts was shortsighted and dismissive of public opinion. Advertisement 'This project risks worsening traffic congestion and contradicts the principle of putting people first,' he said, adding it failed to consider the long-term interests of the community. Wong, instead, called for Jalan Sin Onn to be upgraded into a dual carriageway, which he said would bring genuine long-term development to the area and surrounding neighbourhoods. 'I appeal to the Ministry of Finance to reconsider and upgrade the road to a dual carriageway,' he said, questioning why that option was not chosen. He said the project appears one-sided and short-term in nature, potentially slowing down traffic flow in key areas such as Pasar Sin On, nearby residential zones, supermarkets and commercial lots. He also raised safety concerns, pointing out that one of the roundabouts is being built next to SJK (C) Hing Hwa, which could pose risks to schoolchildren and parents. According to Wong, the project received objections from more than 7,000 Tawau residents who signed a petition launched in March. The signatures were collected over three weeks and submitted to the State Government and Public Works Department (JKR), but the project still went ahead. 'I even held discussions with JKR, but they couldn't guarantee that traffic would improve after the roundabouts are built. Nor could they confirm whether the risk of accidents would increase,' he said. The roundabouts are part of the Whiterose City development project, approved by JKR on April 29, 2022. The plan included roundabout construction based on a Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) report, which has yet to be made public. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
