Study summary

Spatial and physical structure

The spatial studies assess the route against regional planning documents, land-use change, dispersed development, and differing eastern, central, and western capacities. Parts of the eastern section show greater development capacity, while central and western options require more careful land and environmental validation.

Public summary

Key findings

  • The spatial studies assess the route against regional planning documents, land-use change, dispersed development, and differing eastern, central, and western capacities.

  • Parts of the eastern section show greater development capacity, while central and western options require more careful land and environmental validation.

  • A location priority is a screening result and does not establish a legal boundary, ownership, or confirmed allocation.
