Transport Impact Assessments
Over the past five years we have completed well over 1,500 traffic and transport impact assessments for a wide range of developments across Australia. This work has included intersection analysis, traffic modelling, traffic surveys, parking relaxation assessments, travel access guides and green travel plans, preparation of expert witness reports and negotiating access and parking solutions with Council officers. A number of our traffic engineers have local government backgrounds and thoroughly understand the planning and approval processes associated with development applications. We provide access and parking advice in the project development phase as well as preparing traffic and parking reports for inclusion with development applications.
We are also experienced in developing green travel plans for achieving reductions in development-traffic and parking needs.
We have completed Traffic and Transport Impact Assessments for just about every type of land use development imaginable, as well as for master planning studies, environmental assessments and feasibility assessments. This means we can apply this experience to any new challenge which arises.
Bitzios Consulting has been instrumental in the re-writing of the Traffic Impact Assessment guidelines in Queensland, pioneering innovative contemporary approaches to impact mitigation analysis as well as finalising the NSW guidelines update.
