2. Location
The Turitea Wind Farm site is located approximately 10 kilometres south-east of Palmerston North
primarily along a 14-kilometre ridge in the northern Tararua Ranges. The environment includes a number
of existing wind farms to the north. The Turitea Wind Farm is located within the Turitea Reserve (owned
by Palmerston North City Council (PNCC)) and on adjoining private farmland.
The site is located within the PNCC and Tararua District Council (TDC) municipal boundaries and comes
under the jurisdiction of the Manawatu-Wanganui Regional Council (Horizons). The general location of
the site is shown in Figure 1. The approximate route for the transmission lines are shown Figure 2 along
with the direct roads that will be used for access to site.

3. Purpose of the CTMP
The CTMP will, as far as reasonably practicable, avoid, remedy or mitigate the adverse effects of
construction traffic on the safe and efficient operation of the surrounding road network.
It includes:
• A description of the construction works to be undertaken, including site access routes

• The timing and extent of construction works, including hours of operation
• Temporary Traffic Management to be implemented
• Project contacts
• Consultation and Communications methodology
• Driver protocols, including disciplinary and complaints procedures
4. Construction Operations
Summary of Transmission Works
Works involved in the construction of the transmission network consist of the installation of poles and
cables between two substations to connect the Wind Farm to the national grid. These works will be
undertaken on private and public reserve land (Turitea Reserve), with machinery and materials
transported to and along the transmission route. To facilitate this, it is proposed to construct or upgrade
access tracks, which will also require access for machinery and materials for the construction of the tracks.
Cables and poles will be delivered and installed progressively throughout the project. This installation will
also cross Greens Road, which will be managed in accordance with the Temporary Traffic Management
Plan (TTMP) provided in Appendix A.
No over-dimensional nor overweight loads are expected in relation to the transmission works, with the
largest loads being carried in 40-foot shipping containers.
Site Access
Access to the transmission work sites will be from Greens Road, Kahuterawa Road, Harts Road and
Pahiatua-Aokautere Road (via South Range Road). However, until improvements are carried out on
Greens Road; Harts Road, Kahuterawa Road and South Range Road will be utilised.
The improvements on Greens Road (and Kahuterawa Road) will include widening tight bends on the hill
section, re-grading the surface, and sealing portions of the road to improve traction. The details of these
works and driver protocols along the local roads will be outlined in a separate CTMP for the Greens Road
and the Kahuterawa Road upgrade, once detailed engineering design plans have been finalised and
approved by Council. Should the works at Greens Road and Kahuterawa Road influence this CTMP a
review will be carried out.
Routes
Vehicles and goods will be coming locally from Palmerston North or Wellington or Auckland.
Greens Road and Kahuterawa Road will be accessed from State Highway 57.

DATE: 02/07/2019
Harts Road will be accessed from State Highway 57 and Turitea Road.
South Range Road will be accessed from State Highway 57 and Paihiatua-Aokautere Road.
Traffic Flows
The site will keep a record of all vehicles travelling in and out of the site during construction, including the
date and time, the access used, whether the vehicles is entering or exiting, and whether it is a light vehicle
or truck. This record will be submitted to the Roading Managers of PNCC and TDC on a monthly basis.
Reporting will be submitted in accordance with the requirements of Schedule 3: Condition 73 of the
Resource Consent.
A significant amount of construction vehicle movement will be required, particularly truck movements to
transport fill, aggregate and concrete to site during construction of the project. Proactive measures to
reduce construction traffic will be rolled out across the project. These will include practices such as:
• Limiting site access movements / plant deliveries to off-peak periods;

• Ensuring, where possible, trucks arrive full and leave site full (removing waste etc.);
• Where possible, using resources available within property boundary e.g. quarry (subject to
appropriate authorisations being in place (e.g. landowner agreements, and where relevant,
resource consents));
• Development and distribution of site access plans specifying permitted access movements, times
and procedures; and
• Avoiding peak traffic flow periods where possible.
All site-based personnel, truck drivers in particular, will be made aware of the sensitive areas around the
project (e.g. low speed areas, narrow sections of road). Drivers will be required to take extra care while
passing these areas and be extra vigilant of children, cyclists and horses etc. This requirement will be
included in safety briefings once detailed planning is underway.
4.4.1 Truck Movements

Electrix has estimated the movements that will access site from each road, this is summarised in table 2.
• Numbers are movements in and movements out i.e. 1 trip = 2 movements;

• Numbers do not include light vehicles; and
• Numbers do not include movements required for the upgrade of Greens Road.

5. Traffic Management
Monitoring
Traffic will be monitored with the recording of:
• All vehicles travelling in and out of the site 2 during construction. Reporting will be submitted in
accordance with the requirements of Schedule 3: Condition 73 of the Resource Consent;
• Any record where truck access was required outside of the prescribed limits for the purpose of
carrying out emergency maintenance works or responding to a health and safety matter.
• Pavement surfaces on Greens Road shall be inspected by a suitably qualified engineer as required
and reported as per Schedule 3: Condition 75 of the Resource Consent; and
• Records will be kept by Mercury regarding calls received on the 0800-phone number (0800 201
520) about driver behaviour.
Pedestrians, Cyclists and Horses

As part of the Te Araroa trail (New Zealand's long-distance tramping route) Kahuterawa Road is likely have
tourists and trampers on the road.
On all roads, workers accessing the site will need to be aware of the potential presence of pedestrians,
cyclists and horses on the road. This will be reflected in the site induction for all Electrix (and sub-
contractors) workers. This is in accordance with condition 70.12.
Temporary Traffic Management Plans

Specific temporary traffic management plans (TTMP) will be required for the works for the stringing of
the transmission line over Greens Road only. This will be managed in accordance with the Temporary
Traffic Management Plan (TTMP) provided in Appendix A, through use of Manual Traffic Control to stop
traffic as required including a 30 km/hr temporary speed limit applied either side of the worksite.
Greens Road
Once Greens Road has been widened, as part of the requirements under the Resource Consent (Schedule
3: Condition 62), in total, no more than 5,800 truck 3 movements associated with the transmission network
installation shall occur through the Greens Road access during construction, with the maximum permitted
daily totals of vehicle access through the Greens Road access outlined in Schedule 3: Condition 67, as
shown in Table 5. Construction traffic movements on Greens Road (following its upgrade) will be
addressed in the CTMP for Greens Road.

These requirements will be reflected in the site induction for all Electrix (and sub-contractors) workers
accessing the site and will be monitored as described in Section 5.1.
Private property access

Access to private properties along the roads illustrated in Figure 2 (to be used for site access) will be
affected by construction traffic. The timing for their use is dependent on establishment works approvals
from Council. An indicative timeframe is given with each property description. Electrix is working with all
property owners on a weekly basis.
• 241 Kahuterawa Road: There are 2 access points for this property:
1) is the drive way to the house (seen below in Figure 3);
2) the other is a heavy transport access point for stock and other farm requirements. The project
vehicles will be using this access for all needs on this property. There is good line of sight for
this access making it safe for entry or exit onto Kahuterawa Road.
Access will be from July 2019 until July 2020.
Figure 3: Driveways to 241 Kahuterawa Road.

DATE: 02/07/2019
• 132 Greens Road: This access is at the top of the rise on Greens Road. There is some restriction
in visibility due to it being at the top of a crest in the road. The driveway splits into two with one
path going to the house and wool shed/ stockyards and the other going up to Browns Flat where
the top-dressing airstrip is located. Heavy trucks use this driveway on a regular basis for farming
operations. Access will be from October 2019 until July 2020.
• 131 Greens Road: There is a single driveway that goes to the farm sheds and farm house. This
property is directly across the road from the entrance to 132 Greens Road (see Figure 4). There is
some restriction in visibility due to it being at the top of a crest in the road. The project will be
creating a new track that will come off this driveway 200 to 400 m before the house and going
either to the right or the left to avoid driving past the house. Options are being discussed with
the owners. Access will be from October 2019 until July 2020.
Figure 4: Entranceways to 131 and 132 Greens Road.
• 146 Harts Road: Transpower (Linton substation). This property is at the end of Harts Road. There
is ample room to enter and exit Harts Road and the entrance and driveway is constructed for
heavy vehicles used in Transpower’s business. The site is accessed is via a locked gate (Figure 5).
Access will be from July 2019 until July 2020.

DATE: 02/07/2019

8. Driver Protocols
Behaviour
The Electrix Environmental Manager is responsible for undertaking a site induction with all transport
operators contracted to transport materials to the site. The induction is to cover (but not be limited to):
• the route of travel (including the requirement to enter and exit the site via the access(es) on
Pahiatua-Aokautere Road and only use the Greens Road access when it is impractical (for reasons
noted in condition 61) to use the access(es) on Pahiatua-Aokautere Road, provided that Greens
Road has been widened);
• requirement for and use of possible communication systems;
• requirements to abide by local speed restrictions for dust and detritus management;
• requirement for courteous driving;
• requirement to report hazards on the transport route; and
• discussion with workers on driver protocols, including prohibition on engine braking on
Kahuterawa Road and the flat portion of Greens Road, and “one in one out” arrangements for
trucks on Kahuterawa Road during particular peak days when more than 40 truck movements per
day are envisaged.
Disciplinary procedures
In accordance with the Resource Consent Schedule 3: Condition 70.14, disciplinary action will be followed
in the event that any project drivers breach the above protocols. In addition, any drivers who are subject
of a credible complaint, in respect to adherence to New Zealand Road Code or breaches of this CTMP,
shall have a vehicle tracking system (with driver behaviour functionality) installed in their vehicles.
9. Complaints Procedure
The procedure for keeping records of public complaints and any actions taken in response will be carried
out in accordance with the Resource Consent Schedule 1: Condition 19-21. In this regard Mercury has set

DATE: 02/07/2019
up a phone number (0800 201 520) and an email address (turiteawindfarm@mercury.co.nz) for members
of the public to register inquiries or complaints. The publicity of this information has been communicated
via advertisements in local newspapers.
When an environmental complaint is received directly by Electrix, it will be communicated to Mercury,

and vice versa if received through Mercury’s 0800 number or website.
Complaint Form
The Complaint Form (Appendix B) will be used for all site-specific activities throughout the Project.
The Electrix Environmental Manager will ensure that the details of the investigations and any follow up
actions are completed and recorded for each complaint.
The form will contain but not be limited to:
• Name and address of complainant (if provided);

• Identification of the nature of the complaint;
• Date and time of the complaint and alleged event;
• Wind and weather at the time;
• Activity occurring on the site at the time;
• Details of whether the compliant was or was not able to be verified; and
• Any remedial actions undertaken.
The Electrix Environmental Manager will commence an inquiry within 1 hour of receiving the complaint.
Contact will be made with the complainant (if details have been provided) within the same working day -
an interim response advising that investigations are continuing is acceptable.
A formal written response will be provided to the complainant and appropriate regulatory authorities
within 10 days of complaint receipt.
Complaints Register
A Complaints Register will be controlled by the Mercury. It will contain all complaints received for the
Project.
The Electrix Environmental Manager will submit all data from completed environmental Complaints
Forms as soon as possible.
The Electrix Environmental Manager will summarise all complaints received throughout the site to on-
site staff members during weekly Tool Box sessions.
The Complaints Register will be discussed at regular meetings held between the Electrix Environmental
Manager, Electrix Construction Manager, Mercury and Electrix Project Manager.
10.Updates to Plans
During the works the CTMP and TTMPs will be reviewed by the Project Manager and Contracted STMS.
As a minimum, a one-off review, three months following construction start will occur and then as
required, to ensure that the documents remain relevant for use. Any changes to these plans will be
recorded and version controls shall be strictly adhered too.

Proposed traffic management methods

Once on site, the TMP will be implemented as follows;
 A traffic count to confirm traffic volumes are at an appropriate level for set up to begin
 Identify public safety and site safety hazards and how they will be addressed and place on the hazard
document for ‘toolbox’ briefing
 STMS to check the TMP is appropriate to the worksite. Where the TMP is not suitable, halt
proceedings until the necessary actions have been taken
 All vehicles are to have correct signage and flashing beacons. They also need to have continuous and
appropriate communication with the STMS and each other on an agreed channel at all times
Layout Procedure
Signs are to be installed on the left hand side of the road, then the right hand side of the road as required. Signs
should be erected by travelling around the road network in a clockwise direction setting up each side road as
they are passed. All turns in and out of side roads will be to the left which is easier and safer:
The first sign erected must be the advance warning sign.
Installation The remaining signs are placed in order from the advance warning sign until the end of works sign is reached as

plant and materials The vehicle then makes a loop on a single direction carriageway or simply turns around on a bidirectional
storage) carriageway to make the next run. This process will continue until the sign network is complete.
Tapers and delineation devices must only be placed once all signs have been installed.
Before any construction, equipment or materials are brought onto the worksite a drive through check of the
worksite will be made in all directions including all side roads. This check must confirm that the worksite is:
– safe
– to the minimum standard shown in the approved TMP and that:
 the restriction to traffic flow is reasonable
 the signs and delineation devices give clear messages to road users, and
 the signs and delineation devices are securely erected and will remain in their correct position under
the expected traffic volumes and weather conditions.
Installation of the site will be done under a mobile closure with appropriate work vehicles and crew.
On completion of the site set up, the STMS shall undertake a drive-over inspection to check that the site is safe,
legal and complies with the TMP. The STMS then may give the okay for the work crew to enter the worksite and
carry out the work.
Closures, as per TMD01.
The site will be attended during the day by a minimum of a Level 1 STMS.
All staff on the site shall be briefed on the traffic management requirements before starting any work on site
Attended (day)
A site safety / tailgate meeting is to be held at the start of each day and all hazards, the control measure
implemented to control the hazards are to be noted on the Hazard ID form. The Hazard ID form must be signed
by all staff and sub-contractors on the work site.
Attended (night) No planned night works.
Unattended (day) Site not to be left unattended.

Breakdown Procedure
Removal of the site will commence as soon as the client has finished with their work. The removal of TTM
measures must be in the reverse order of installation, i.e. delineation devices, direction and protection signs,
end of works signs, and then finally advanced warning signs.
Removal
The last signs to be removed from the site must be the advanced warning signs.
The STMS will carry out the final check and sign off before leaving the site.
Breakdown shall be done with appropriate work vehicles and crew.

Positive traffic management measures

Positive Traffic management measures must be installed when installing TSL’s of less than 70kph in areas where there are permanent
speed limits of 100kph.
Positive traffic management to be installed:
 Placing cones from the TSL to the taper
Once the site has been installed additional measures available to the STMS if required are;
 Narrowing lane widths adjacent to the working space by the use of Side Friction cones
 Close spacing of delineation devices
 Cone offset delineation (where cones are placed either side of a lane(s), the cones on one side are placed longitudinally offset
from the other by a half cone spacing).

 render first aid if competent and able to do so
 notify the RCA representative and / or the engineer
 under the guidance of the officer in charge of the
site, reduce effects of TTM on the road or remove
the activity if safe to do so
 re-establish TTM and traffic movements when
advised by emergency authorities that it is safe to
do so
 Comply with any obligation to notify WorkSafe.
Incident Actions
An incident is described as: The STMS must immediately conduct the following:
 excessive delays - real or potential  stop all activity and traffic movement if required
 minor or non-inquiry accident that has the  secure the site to prevent the prospect of injury or
potential to affect traffic flow further damage
 structural failure of the road.  notify the RCA representative and / or the engineer
 STMS to implement a plan to safely remove TTM
and to establish normal traffic flow if safe to do so
 re-establish TTM and traffic movements when it is
safe to do so and when traffic volumes have
reduced.
Detour Actions
If because of the on-site activity it will not be When it is necessary to implement the pre-planned
