The project successfully visualised future freight demands in kilo-tonnes for agricultural commodities originating from the Namoi region. The visualisation relies on the actual projections made by Transport for NSW at the SA3-level and their downscaled estimations at the LGA level. The downscaling process utilises a linear proportional estimation based on the available total production data for such commodities from ABS/DPI.
The project also presents a connectivity analysis of the LGAs within the region in relation to the NSW Oversize/Overmass/Heavy Vehicles Network guidelines/routes. This analysis will provide valuable insights into the accessibility of the LGAs for Multi-State Class 1 Load Carrying Vehicles and Heavy Vehicles, as well as offer a clear understanding of existing infrastructure gaps that hinder connectivity and freight movements.
