Identify the state highway located in grid reference 6105.

State one physical reason for the location of the airport to the east of Frankton (Queenstown Airport).

Outline one reason why land values are higher in some parts of an urban area.

Explain two challenges associated with making infrastructure improvements in urban settlements such as Queenstown.

6A

Accept any possible physical reason such as:

Flat land [1] / prevailing winds [1] / orientation of valleys [1]

Award [1] for the reason and [1] for development/explanation.

For example: many people want to live by the coast due to the nice view [1] so demand drives up prices [1].

Other possible factors (these may or may not relate to the map) include:

• proximity to the city centre / CBD
• transport
• access
• physical factors such as flat land
• planning decisions may limit development.

For each one, award [1] for the challenge, and up to [2] for explanation, development and/or exemplification.

For example: provision of a new airport runway may require the use of existing residential areas [1] involving the resettlement / out migration of residents [1] possibly leading to urban sprawl if new suburbs are to be built [1].

Other challenges include:

• older infrastructure
• site restrictions – two entirely different ones are acceptable.
• community unwillingness / pressure groups e.g. environmental
• planning restrictions / loss of countryside.

Generally well answered.

The word physical was either not understood or ignored.

This was well done with proximity to the CBD being the most used reason.

Many correct answers here although some looked at consequences not challenges. The majority used the given map as a guide, for example, steep slopes, although this was not necessary as any urban settlement could have been used.
