Dear Wellington City Council,

Kia Ora, with the announcement of national building standards (NBS) reform
I was interested in knowing if the city council or any pertinent agency
within has information regarding the classification system used to decided
if a street or thoroughfare is considered high-denisty or high-use?

Specifically I was interested in knowing if the following streets (Leeds
Street & Egmont Street) have any classifications correlating to their
mixed use by both private vehicles and pedestrians.

Yours faithfully,
Liam Knight-Devlin

Kia ora Liam,

 

Thank you for your request for information below.

 

I’d like to take this opportunity to seek more information from you
please.

 

Although your request touches on the [1]Earthquake-prone building system
changes, it sounds like you are most interested in the modelling
system/methodology used to determine if a road is of high use?

 

I just want to ensure I work with the best team possible to provide you
with a response (e.g. our Roading and Transport team VS Resilient Building
team). Any further context would be greatly appreciated.

 

Kind regards

Dear BUS: Official Information,

Kia Ora Ollie,
Yes, I was interested both in understanding (1) the modelling system/methodology used to determine if a road is considered high use in Wellington, and (2) if Egmont Street and Leads Street (Wellington City 6011) are considered high use under this system.

Yours sincerely,

Liam Knight-Devlin
