Transport Planning for the Aotea Precinct

The Aotea Centre precinct can be logistically challenging due to:

  • Road closures for events

We work with organisers to create:

✔ Venue arrival & exit flow plans

✔ Timed delegate shuttles

✔ Conference-branded signage & marshalling

This dramatically improves the guest experience and ensures events run smoothly.
