Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,

Under the Official Information Act 1982 I request the following information regarding the recent and ongoing infrastructure works at the Frankton roundabout in Queenstown:
1. Traffic Impact Assessment and Modelling
All documents reports or assessments that modelled or evaluated whether the works would meaningfully alleviate traffic congestion at the Frankton roundabout or surrounding arterial routes
Any data projections or assumptions used in those models
2. Internal Discussion and Risk Assessment
Internal emails memos meeting minutes or other correspondence raising concerns about whether the planned works would be sufficient or effective in addressing congestion
Any documentation or communications where the question was explicitly asked either internally or externally about whether the project would deliver measurable congestion relief and what the response or rationale was
3. Input or Objections from NZTA or QLDC Staff or Consultants
Records of any dissenting views alternate proposals or flagged risks regarding the project’s potential inefficacy or unintended consequences
Any discussion of alternative solutions considered and why they were not pursued

If any of the information is held in draft form or across multiple formats including email meeting notes or internal reports I request access to those as well. If portions of this request require more time I am happy to receive the information in stages

Please confirm receipt of this request and advise if any clarification is required

Yours faithfully,

Wayne Scott
