UDIA welcomes the opportunity to make a submission to the Transport for NSW (TfNSW) draft 2024 Guide to Transport Impact Assessment (draft Guide).
Our primary concern is the lack of transparency justifying the changes to the trip generation rates for low density development. For example, we note that the low density development regional trip generation rates have increased over the rates used in the Traffic Surveys Technical Direction (TDT 2013/4a), however the methodology for the changes is not clear. Given the significant implications these rates have for requirements on proposed development, UDIA requests publication of the analysis and justification supporting the updated trip generation rates.
