All loading on site Hours of operation have been considered as part of the traffic assessment Section 7.9 – Transport Network 7.9.3 – Objectives and Policies (1) OBJECTIVE 1 Provide and maintain a safe and efficient transport network that will meet current and planned future demands with minimal effects on the environment and adjoining land uses. (2) OBJECTIVE 2 Ensure the adverse effects of activities outside the road reserve on the safety and efficiency of the transport network are avoided, remedied or mitigated. (a) Policies Objectives 1 and 2 will be achieved by implementation of the following policies: (i) Establish and maintain a hierarchy of roads and streets and require the design and formation of the roads and streets according to their traffic and access functions and road user (including pedestrians and cyclists) requirements appropriate to the location.
