1. Executive SummaryTheSkyPathconceptwasdevelopedbytheAucklandHarbourBridgePathwayTrust(theTrust)tocloseacriticalgap

in Aucklands cycling and walking network. During the second half of 2013, Angus & Associates was engaged by

AucklandCounciltoprovideareviewofpreviouspatronageforecastsandotherdocumentation,aswellastoconduct

additionalprimaryresearchintopotentialusergroupings. Primaryresearchconsideredthedifferentaspectsofuse,

aswellasthedevelopmentofademandprojectionmodelestimatingpotentialtripsforthefirst20yearsofoperation.

The 2013 demand projection model was based on conservative assumptions and included total yearly patronage

estimatesforthemainmarketsegments,namelydomesticandinternationalvisitorstoAuckland,aswellasAuckland

residents. The projection model excluded a number of potential market segments, such as cruise ships and tour

groups,aswellasspecificchildvisitation.

SkyPath to Takapuna as an alternative to going through Northcote areas. The question was designed to get an

For the online survey we repeated the local resident sample and drew a robust sample of n=800 respondents,

comprising n=400 Auckland residents from potential commuter suburbs (inner areas within a 10km radius of the

Harbour Bridge) and n=400 wider Auckland residents (outer areas) to address both potential recreational AND

commuter use. The sample was drawn from New Zealands largest multisource consumer panel, SmileCity, which

providesarepresentativecrosssectionoftheNewZealandpopulation,recruitedusingavarietyofmediabothonand

Auckland residents were assumed to use SkyPath as either (or both) commuters and recreational users, with each

group exhibiting specific behaviour and use of SkyPath. The researchalso included an analysis of inner vs. outer
