Appendix C: Access to essential services and trip generators data tables and maps

This Appendix provides data tables and maps for accessibility catchment maps for selected destinations.

Methodology

To determine the baseline metrics for access to essential services and attractors, multimodal accessibility modelling (using TRACC software) has been undertaken. The model calculates the journey time by public transport from census data zone centroids (population weighted) to all the destinations – those included were cities, localities (which represents populated settlements), healthcare, education and rail stations.

A summary of the model parameters are as follows:

• Timetables represent 2024 Q1 (2nd week of January)
• Tuesday AM 0730-0930
• Allowance of 400 metre walk to ‘first’ bus stop (increased to 800m for access to cities)
