Importance: High
Hi Suze, just checking in on how you’re going with getting approval to release the TRACKS model and land use
assumptions? We’re on a tight timeline to be able to assist Guildford with their evidence.
Cheers

Hey Suze, just checking in to see if we have approval to share the transport model with Guildford.

Notes
4
DS confirms that the UHCC transport model has been updated. Future land use assumptions for scenarios
have been determined by UHCC
DS gave an overview of the 3 Scenarios modelled, 3 step model with no mode shift
SR suggests that
o Scenario 1 is a starting point for assessing Southern Growth Area
o Scenario 2/3 are based on Council estimates for development areas, may not align with Guildford
Timber intent
SR confirms that all Scenarios account for MDRS, with uplift added to Greenfield Development Areas plus
some growth spread over existing urban, with a sense check to adjust for areas with no / more growth
might be feasible.
PT asks if SR can provide more detail on growth assumptions for Scenario 1.
Action - SR will check internally if growth assumptions and model details can be shared.
DS advises that the UHCC Transport Model is strategic, more detailed assessment using SIDRA is advised.
AK queried trip generation assumptions. DS confirmed that this is based on existing Census data. Based on
vehicle ownership and veh/HH. Existing good access to public transport is reflected in existing traffic
movements, the model has had calibration/validation of the transport model against observed traffic
movements.
DS confirmed that Abley can calibrate the model based on requests from PP/AK.
SR confirms that the transport model is UHCC's best attempt at incorporating PC49 (new road connection to
SGA) and MDRS/IPI. The model is suitable as a start point for Guildford to prep evidence from.
