Extract from Tenterfield Star, April
2009 - Tenterfield Shire Council engaged PEECE to consider
the feasibility of a heavy vehicle bypass.
Six options, three on each of the western and eastern sides of town, were
considered in the study and these were presented in two meetings for business
owners and the public at the end of April 2009.
After Mr. Rufford, of PEECE, concluded the presentation of the options, he opened the floor
to questions. Concerns ranged from the potential economic impact of the bypass
on businesses in the main street, the proximity to St Joseph’s Primary School,
impact on residents in the streets of the preferred options. However, residents
of Tenterfield was also considered enough of a tourist destination in itself to
counter the potential loss of custom through Rouse Street. Further, it was
acknowledged that only heavy traffic would be encouraged to use the bypass,
thereby, allowing the town centre to thrive in its absence.

PEECE presents at the IPWEA NSW Division Annual
Conference 2005
In May 2005, Steve O'Rourke, Phil Hawley and Peter
Rufford presented a paper on Regional Transport Plans at the the Institute of
Public Works Engineering Australia (NSW Division).
The paper highlighted the role that Regional Transport Plans can play in
assisting Councils identify their regional infrastructure priorities and
identifying the cost sharing arrangements needed to fund them.
The paper drew on the experience gained in the preparation of a number
of RTPs for regional groupings of Councils across Australia.
The planning process provided a framework for Councils to work together
with their local industries to make the strongest case for funding from State
and Commonwealth Governments.
However there are benefits other than making a case for additional funding.
The process assists Councils deliver regional outcomes by establishing
the linkages between transport infrastructure and regional economic
development. The co-operation
required for the plan is a positive outcome that better equips individual
Councils to allocate priorities within their own local areas.
