Marina Trip Generation and Parking Demand Surveys for Australian Transport Planning

NSW Government analysis of vehicle, person, and vessel trips at marinas, comparing new survey data with historical rates from 1978, 1990, and 2006-2008. The report, published by The Transport Planning Partnership, aims to update guidelines for marina developments across Australia. It includes surveys covering a range of marina sizes, locations, and facility types.

Use Cases

• Update traffic generation rates for marina developments based on recent survey data.
• Assess parking demand per mooring and berth for marina site planning.
• Model vessel movement patterns and their impact on local traffic.
• Compare Australian marina traffic data with international standards and practices.

Strengths

• Compares new survey data with historical rates established in 1978, 1990, and 2006-2008.
• Covers a range of marina characteristics including size, location, and facility type.
• Data is referenced against the updated Australian Standard AS 3962:2020 for marina design.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au, focusing on Australian marinas.
